As a family medicine physician, I believe that great care begins with listening. My goal is to create a space where patients feel heard, understood, and supported. I see each visit as a partnership, whether we’re managing a chronic condition, addressing a new concern, or focusing on prevention and wellness. We will work together to understand your goals and tailor a care plan that fits your life. I’m a proud Mexican-American and grew up in a Latino neighborhood where family, hard work, and community shaped who I am. Those values continue to guide how I care for patients with respect, empathy, and a strong belief in the importance of building long-term relationships. I approach medicine with a meticulous attention to detail and a deep commitment to excellence, always striving to provide the same level of care I would want for my own family. Whether we’re speaking English or Spanish, my promise is the same: to treat you with kindness, to communicate clearly, and to support your health with thoughtful, evidence-based care.

Clinical Interests
I have a strong interest in musculoskeletal care and orthopedics, with a focus on helping patients stay active and pain-free. I incorporate point-of-care ultrasound into my practice to enhance diagnosis and precision, particularly when performing in-office procedures such as joint injections, incision and drainage, and tendon evaluations. I also have a special interest in men’s health, including hormone evaluation, preventive care, and lifestyle support. In addition, I offer guidance on exercise prescription and medical weight management tailored to individual goals and health needs. I work closely with patients to manage chronic conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, chronic headaches, back pain, ADHD, insomnia, depression, and anxiety. My goal is to take a comprehensive, evidence-based approach that supports both physical and mental well-being in a way that feels collaborative and sustainable.
Personal Interests
Outside of medicine, I enjoy staying active through Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, weightlifting, and kettlebell training. Physical movement is not only part of my personal routine, but something I truly value and try to embody in everyday life. I enjoy being artistic by painting with oil on canvas and sketching with charcoal. Lately, I’ve been working on perfecting the New York strip steak sear on a cast iron pan which is still a work in progress, but a delicious one. I love spending time with my wife and toddler, especially exploring new places together as a family. Some of our favorite moments happen at family gatherings, where there’s usually a taquiza, good music, and lots of dancing — cumbia, merengue, salsa, you name it. When we have the chance, we enjoy visiting family and beautiful cultural monuments in Mexico and reconnecting with our roots. These moments keep me grounded and remind me of the joy in everyday life.
