About me
I grew up in Los Angeles. My parents were born in Colombia and moved to the United States in the 1960s. My father is a retired surgeon. After college in Los Angeles, I moved to Denver in 1996 to go to CU for medical school (class of 2000). I later went to U.T. Southwestern Medical Center/Parkland Hospital in Dallas to do my anesthesiology training. I met my wife in Dallas, and we moved to Denver together in 2006. I have been working in Denver as an anesthesiologist ever since then. I love my profession as an anesthesiologist and enjoy going to work.
About my practice
Anesthesiology in an amazing science and it has been an extremely rewarding profession. Anesthesia is extremely safe statistically which by itself should be reassuring for patients. However, being anxious prior to surgery is normal; and sometimes what makes people anxious is the unknown. There are many concerns and questions that patients may have when they have an upcoming anesthetic and surgery. People often don't understand how the anesthesia medications work and are metabolized by the body; they are concerned about how the entire process will affect them; and they are worried about the pain and the recovery. It is normal to have these feelings. For the vast majority of elective surgery situations, it is safe. I am confident that I will get a patient through their surgery and wake them up safely and without a complication. The anesthesiology improvements that I have seen over the last few years have been one of the most rewarding aspects of my profession. Advances in anesthesia continue, and I am committed to keeping up with the latest improvement initiatives and applying them to my practice to improve patient safety and outcomes.
How I thrive
Outside of work, I like to spend my free time with my wife and kids. As far as sports and staying active, I enjoy jogging, tennis, snowboarding, and weightlifting.
