About me
The practice of endocrinology is an enriching, highly changing science. Therefore, the challenge to keep up with advances in medicine is one of my biggest motivations to pursue this specialty. Being able to solve a health problem and rid the patient of the risks involved and anxiety generated is one of the greatest satisfactions I get with my profession so I am very happy with what I do
