Where I practice
About me
I was born in Miami to immigrant parents from Cuba and Colombia. During my military service, I was stationed in Texas, Maryland, and Washington, D.C., before settling down in Washington state. I have been married for more than 25 years and have 3 children. Working in medicine has always been a passion of mine. It combines my interests in science, academics, and helping others. I graduated from F. Edward HÈbert School of Medicine at the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences. I completed a residency in general internal medicine at Walter Reed Army Medical Center and finished a fellowship in cardiology at Madigan Army Medical Center. I am board certified in Cardiovascular Diseases and Advanced Heart Failure and Transplantation.
About my practice
I treat each patient like an individual, providing personalized care based on their unique circumstances. During each appointment, I take the time to answer every question and concern and encourage patients to take an active role in their health through shared decision-making. Cardiology is a rapidly evolving field of medicine, and I work hard to stay up to date on the latest innovations and practices to offer the best care possible for my patients.
How I thrive
Outside of work, I spend my time with my family, coordinating my children's activities. I wake up early every day to exercise before work and spend time reading. This helps me to focus and start each day with positive, healthy energy. I am passionate about traveling and enjoy exploring new cultures and food with my family.

How we choose our network providers and hospitals
Kaiser Permanente uses the same quality, member experience, or cost-related measures to select practitioners and facilities in Marketplace Silver-tier plans as it does for all other Kaiser Foundation Health Plan (KFHP) products and lines of business, and uses the same geographic distribution consideration to select hospitals in Marketplace plans as it does for all other Kaiser Foundation Health Plan (KFHP) products and lines of business. The measures may include, but are not limited to, HEDIS/CAHPS performance, member/patient complaints, patient safety scores, hospital quality measures, and geographic need. Members enrolled in KFHP Marketplace plans have access to all professional, institutional and ancillary health care providers who participate in KFHP plans' contracted provider network, in accordance with the terms of the members' KFHP plan of coverage. All Kaiser Permanente Medical Group physicians and network physicians are subject to the same quality review processes and certifications.
A narrow network is defined as a tailored, tiered, or high-performance network that has 80 percent or less overlap with a health plan’s broadest network offered to a member in any type of plan offered by that health plan. Kaiser Permanente does not have a narrow network with respect to its Marketplace plans. Members enrolled in Kaiser Foundation Health Plan (KFHP) Marketplace plans have access to the same provider networks as members enrolled in all other KFHP plans.
