Description
My practice as a general surgeon includes a wide range of organs and diseases, the majority in the abdominal cavity and through minimally invasive procedures, thyroid, neck, hernia repair surgery and ano-rectal procedures. Most of the procedures can be done under minimally invasive techniques, also called laparoscopic surgery, which reduces considerably pain and discomfort after surgery, reduces the risk of surgical site infection and overall is better for the patient.
I’ve worked for the Social Security System in Costa Rica for 23 years, part of those as a general physician, part as a surgery resident and 14 as a trained general surgeon. This long period in Social Security has given me a tremendous expertise in surgery, especially in very complex cases. I like to keep close contact with my patients, before and after every procedure, communication is the key to better outcomes in surgery.
