About me
At Kaiser Permanente, my goal is to keep you healthy, strong, and thriving. Since moving to Oxnard in 2017, I have embraced the area’s vibrant community and stunning coastline. As a board-certified internal medicine specialist, I am committed to providing compassionate, high-quality care to members.
Biography
I was born and raised in Puerto Rico, where a deep-rooted passion for medicine runs in my family. My grandfather operated a small community hospital that served an underserved population in western Puerto Rico, and many of my family members — including my father, uncles, and brothers — are physicians. From an early age, I aspired to follow in their footsteps. After completing my residency in internal medicine in Puerto Rico, I moved to Oxnard in 2017 and spent 4 ½ years as a hospitalist. During this time, I had the privilege of caring for a diverse patient population and was honored to receive the Acts of Human-Kindness Award in recognition of my compassionate approach to medicine. Being bilingual in English and Spanish, I take pride in breaking down language barriers to ensure members receive optimal care. I find great fulfillment in preventive medicine, helping members take proactive steps toward long-term wellness. My time in Oxnard solidified my commitment to this community, and I chose to make it my home, starting a family here. I joined Kaiser Permanente’s primary care team to continue my mission of providing high-quality medical care, improving members’ quality of life, and promoting preventive health strategies that empower individuals to live fully.
About my practice
I believe that good health is multidimensional — nourishing both the body and mind is key to long-term well-being. A healthy lifestyle includes nutritious eating, staying physically active, and prioritizing mental wellness. I strive to build strong partnerships with members, working together as a team to achieve and maintain optimal health for both individuals and the broader community.
How I thrive
Maintaining balance and wellness in my own life allows me to be fully present for members. I have always been passionate about sports and outdoor activities, and I enjoy surfing, snowboarding, and running. Since 2001, I have practiced transcendental meditation, which has been instrumental in helping me stay centered and resilient. Most importantly, I cherish creating meaningful moments with my wife, children, family, and friends — and I encourage members to do the same.
