About me

​

I am a Medical Doctor graduated from the Universidad del Rosario in Bogotá (1990), I started my Ophthalmology studies in the Hospital of San José  (1994) obtaining the degree of Ophthalmologist in 1997.

 

I am also a professor at the Sanitas University Foundation in the postgraduate course of Ophthalmology.

 

I am characterized by having a great interest in the care of my patients with a very human, warm and cordial character. I seek to generate the greatest possible confidence and show all the available alternatives to solve their visual problems, without neglecting everything related to your environment, your emotions, fears and concerns regarding what you suffer, and showing all possible interest in trying to solve all the questions you may have as a person. I am always attentive to listen and willing to give the best advice in everything my patients need.
