Who I am

I came back to Quintana Roo to practice here.

I practice at office 501 of Hospital Galenia, in Cancún. I am a member of the Colegio Médico de Quintana Roo and of the Board of the Hospital Galenia Medical Society. In consultation I assess; if surgery is needed, I operate.

What I operate

I operate on gallbladder, hernia and appendicitis.

See procedures

Gallbladder surgery

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy, through three incisions of about one centimetre when the case allows. One night in hospital in the usual scenario.

Inguinal hernia

Mesh hernioplasty that reinforces the wall, laparoscopic or open depending on the case. It does not close on its own.

Appendicitis

Appendectomy, laparoscopically when the case allows. If you suspect it, go to the emergency department: it is not an office appointment.

General surgery

If your case is not on this list, write to the office. At the consultation we determine whether it is a procedure I perform and what comes next.

Consultation and quote

In consultation I tell you whether surgery is indicated and I give you the quote in writing, with its validity period. If you come with insurance, the policy is reviewed before scheduling.
