I was born in Cuba and have a Siamese twin sister who is also a medical physician. I trained in Belize at St. Matthew’s School of Medicine and also in Manchester, England. I graduated from UAB Family Residency program in 2006. I have been practicing in Florida for 13 years as an emergency room physician. I am board certified in family medicine with multiple accreditation's such as ACLS, BLS, PALS, NALS, and ATLS. I believe continuing medical education should be done constantly to stay up to date with all new research.
“She is the best doctor ever. She goes above and beyond. My wife and I have been going to her for about 3 years. I would recommend her to everyone… thank you doc for always taking care of us.”
