VALUES THAT DEFINE

My career and my work

THE CARE PROCESS

From consultation to follow-up

The surgical process doesn't begin in the operating room, nor does it end with discharge. It begins in the consultation, when I evaluate your case, explain the diagnosis, and define the plan of action. From there, I accompany you through the preparation, the procedure, and the follow-up care.

01
Initial Consultation

I evaluate your case in detail, explain the diagnosis and the indicated treatment, answer your questions, and we define the plan to follow.

02
Preoperative Preparation

I will clearly explain the necessary tests, fasting, and medication management so that you arrive at surgery in suitable condition.

03
The Day of the Procedure

The procedure is performed in a safe environment, with a team focused on your care before, during and after the intervention.

04
Recovery and Discharge

I monitor your immediate recovery and explain the instructions for postoperative care at home.

05
Follow-up

I review your progress in consultation, answer questions, and adjust the treatment as needed.
