General Info

About me

Being a doctor was an illusion since I was a child, at high school I knew that I wanted to be a cardiologist.
I consider myself an active person and a entrepreneur. I think that those who misuse their time are the first to complain about its brevity and I am in favor of living fully while you can and without calculating the price.
I never forget that the first limitation in our lives is our mind, that if we are positive we will reach the top.
I enjoy my professional practice, as much as the moments in family and my moments of leisure dedicated mainly to the sport and to share with my loved ones.
I love my profession and my specialty, and what I love the most are the days that the patient gives me his thanks for the help I gave him.
