My Practice

I became a Physician’s Assistant because: I want to improve the quality of life of my patients and provide the best healthcare possible to my community, especially among my fellow Latinos.

I enjoy taking care of patients at Gwinnett Clinic because: the Gwinnett clinic model of care is patient-centered and is primary care-based. The physicians, midlevel providers, and staff are truly devoted to their patients and work wonderfully as a team to provide the best care to Gwinnett clinic patients.

I am currently learning more about: the most up-to-date screening guidelines and treatment options for chronic illnesses such as diabetes and hypertension.

In my community, I enjoy: spending time with my family and friends. I also enjoy volunteering for nonprofit associations such as Helping Mamas, Special Olympics in Atlanta, and participating in the Annual Lazarus Health Day in Atlanta, Georgia.

My hobbies are: reading, watching movies, working out, and cooking.

My clinical interests include: Diabetes, Hypertension, Hyperlipidemia, GERD, and blood disorders.
