About Me
I was born and raised in San Juan, Puerto Rico where I completed my medical education and general surgery training at the University of Puerto Rico. As a general surgeon, I treat patients with a variety of conditions, including benign and malignant breast conditions, abdominal procedures such as cholecystectomy, treatment for benign and malignant small, and large intestine pathologies, inguinal and abdominal wall hernia repairs, and many others. The most important aspect of my job is the relationship I build with patients.

Ratings and Reviews
The ratings and reviews are based on patient responses to the overall provider rating question from the survey. The question reads: “Using any number from 0 to 10, where 0 is the worst provider possible and 10 is the best provider possible, what number would you use to rate this provider?” Responses are converted to a 5-point rating system and applied consistently to all providers. Learn more about our survey process. Patients who see some types of providers receive a different version of the patient satisfaction survey. Those results are not available on DukeHealth.org.
