Personal Statement

It is a great honor and privilege to serve at the University of Puerto Rico (RCM) for the last twenty years. I had the opportunity to participate in the academic growth of many students and surgical residents as well as providing excellent care for our patients in the Colon and Rectal Surgery field. Most of these patients have limited resources and access to our health care and we serve as a referral center from all Puerto Rico. We will continue to bring the best care and service to our patients in the Colorectal Service.
