I enjoy Fam­i­ly Med­i­cine because it allows me to sup­port my patients in dif­fer­ent set­tings. In clin­ic pre­vent­ing and treat­ing chron­ic con­di­tions. And if nec­es­sary in the Urgent Care or while hos­pi­tal­ized. My mis­sion is to lis­ten and pro­vide the ade­quate guid­ance, so togeth­er we can make the deci­sion that bet­ter fits your goals, beliefs and way of living. 

Med­i­c­i­na de Famil­ia me per­mite apo­yar a mis pacientes en difer­entes entornos: en la clíni­ca previnien­do y tratan­do enfer­medades cróni­cas, en Urgen­cias (Urgent Care) o si fuese nece­sario durante una hos­pi­tal­iza­cion. Mi mis­ión es escuchar y brindar la ori­entación ade­cua­da, para que jun­tos podamos tomar la decisión que mejor se adapte a tus obje­tivos, creen­cias y esti­lo de vida.

Clinical Interests

I have a par­tic­u­lar inter­est in lifestyle med­i­cine which encom­pass­es the idea of using exer­cise and food as part of the treat­ment for many of the chron­ic con­di­tions we know. Obe­si­ty, hyper­ten­sion and Dia­betes are good exam­ples of this. Hos­pi­tal Med­i­cine is also an aspect that I tru­ly enjoy, par­tic­u­lar­ly when I have the oppor­tu­ni­ty to pro­vide care for a patient that I have seen in the clinic. 

Ten­go un interés par­tic­u­lar en la med­i­c­i­na del esti­lo de vida, que abar­ca la idea de uti­lizar el ejer­ci­cio y la ali­mentación como parte del tratamien­to de muchas de las enfer­medades cróni­cas que cono­ce­mos. La obesi­dad, la hiperten­sión y la dia­betes son buenos ejem­p­los de esto. Tratar pacientes hos­pi­tal­iza­dos es tam­bién un aspec­to que real­mente dis­fru­to, especial­mente cuan­do ten­go la opor­tu­nidad de aten­der a un paciente que ya he vis­to en la clínica.

Personal Interests

Exer­cise is impor­tant for me whether play­ing soc­cer with friends or work­ing out. I enjoy going to alter­na­tive rock con­certs and dis­cov­er­ing new bands. Try­ing new restau­rants and cof­fee shops. Short term goal is get­ting back into fishing.

El ejer­ci­cio es impor­tante para mí, ya sea jugan­do fút­bol con ami­gos o en el gim­na­sio. Disfru­to ir a concier­tos de rock alter­na­ti­vo y des­cubrir nuevas ban­das. Me gus­ta pro­bar nuevos restau­rantes y cafeterías. Mi obje­ti­vo a cor­to pla­zo es retomar la pesca.
