- ABOUT -

Category(ies): Internal Medicine | Physician

I am a board-certified Internal Medicine Physician with over five years of clinical experience in the United States and Internationally. I am passionate about improving access to health care for Latino communities and providing tech-enhanced medicine.

I believe that the future of medicine is a hybrid prevention-first care model that blends technology, remote, and in-person care. My patients would describe my care style as authentic, collaborative, and built on empathic listening and trust, focusing on prevention first.

I have received medical licenses in California, Connecticut (inactive), Florida (telemedicine), New York, New Jersey, Nevada (inactive), Missouri, and Texas.

I completed an ACGME-approved Internal Medicine Residency at St. Barnabas Hospital (an affiliate of Albert Einstein College of Medicine), a Level II Trauma Center in the Bronx borough of New York City.

The Most Highly Trained Person in the Room May No Longer Be the One in Charge

Physicians remain medicine’s clinical experts, yet many have lost authority over how care is delivered. What happened to physician autonomy, agency, and leverage?
