From excision of simple skin lesions to complicated cancer cases, my scope of practice as a general surgeon includes managing a broad range of diseases. In addition to the surgical management of disease, my specific osteopathic training places an emphasis on the “whole person” philosophy. My focus is on building an individualized approach by providing evidence-based treatment plans that fit my patient’s personal needs and circumstance. I do my best to provide such care with open and honest communication in order to create a strong foundation for our doctor-patient relationship. When I am away from work, I enjoy spending time with my wife and children. I feel honored to have been offered the opportunity to return to the area and settle in North Carolina after my years of medical training and serving in the US Air Force.
DO, Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine (Georgia), 2010
I was born and raised in San Juan, Puerto Rico where I completed my medical education and general surgery training at the University of Puerto Rico. As a general surgeon, I treat patients with a variety of conditions, including benign and malignant breast conditions, abdominal procedures such as cholecystectomy, treatment for benign and malignant small, and large intestine pathologies, inguinal and abdominal wall hernia repairs, and many others. The most important aspect of my job is the relationship I build with patients.
