My approach to surgical care

I take time to listen to your story and review your studies carefully before recommending surgery. 

I explain your diagnosis and all options in clear, simple language. 

I focus on safe, evidence‑based surgery and careful follow-up, so you always know the next step. 

You have a direct communication channel with my team for questions before and after surgery.

If you are traveling from the U.S. or abroad

Many of my patients come from outside my city and country. We make your experience as clear and seamless as possible:

Initial virtual orientation – You share your symptoms, medical history, and existing studies.

Clinical review – I review your information personally and tell you if surgery seems indicated or if other options should be considered first.

Treatment plan – If surgery is recommended, we discuss timing, risks, benefits, and expected recovery in detail.

Travel and procedure – My team coordinates the dates for consultation, surgery, and early post‑operative checks in Colombia. 

Follow‑up – After you travel back home, we stay in touch with structured follow‑up and clear instructions.
