Medicine and Gastroenterology are my passions. I majored in Gastroenterology because it is a medical specialty in which you can treat patients with endoscopic and therapeutic procedures (gastroscopy, colonoscopy and polypectomy and endoscopic therapy and management of digestive bleeding). I love the contact with people and to help them through my profession. I consider myself a person concerned about the welfare of patients, responsible and friendly. I strive to seek a way to make my patients understand their condition through simple explanations.
