With actively being part of critical care since 2010 at over 15 hospitals I have gained a broad spectrum of firsthand experience in many fields with a total of 16 years practicing medicine. Being part of the inner working of different hospitals and facilities, I have decided to expand my knowledge into primary care where I can educate my patients in life-changing decisions that will make a true difference.

As a board-certified pulmonologist in Florida, I value consulting with physicians and growing my professional network.
