About Me

Due to my father's influence and admiration, medicine has always been a part of my life. I decided to become a dermatologist after suffering from a skin condition. I find great satisfaction in helping people heal, understand, and manage their skin diseases and problems.

I also offer the Mixed Medicine Service, which allows patients, based on my prescription, to pick up their medications at the CCSS (Costa Rican Social Security Fund).

Training and experience

Medical specialist in Dermatology, Autonomous School of Medical Sciences (UCIMED)

Master's degree in trichology and hair transplantation, University of Alcalá
