About me

Learn, help and teach. My professional life is based on these three principles. Learning is the basis for the next two and the only way to keep myself up to date in the treatment that helps all my patients. Teach them what their problem is and what they can do to improve, being involved in their recovery.

Since June 2020 I have been developing part of my healthcare activity at Vithas Xanit Internacional de Benalmádena, in a consultation whose objective is to reduce complex osteo-muscular pain with different techniques with the aim of reducing pain and improving the quality of life of those who are looking for alternatives to more invasive treatments or when there is no clear diagnosis.

I firmly believe in talking with the patient and physical exploration as a basis to get to the cause of the problem and use the precise tests when they are necessary. The clock is on the sidelines when I work. Important things need calm.

In the same way, as I detail below, I have an extensive training that allows me to treat many other disorders in the field of Orthopedic Surgery and Traumatology following this same philosophy.

If you conceive your health in a similar way to how I conceive Medicine, I will wait for you in my office. I am delighted to try to help you recover your previous state and your quality of life.
