About me

I became a doctor and surgeon with the firm intention of helping patients solve their illnesses and the suffering they cause them. What I enjoy the most in my profession is seeing patients satisfied and free from their illnesses. I also really enjoy serious reading and deep study of the Bible and doing sports, soccer for example.
