In 1995, I arrived in Temuco, Chile, after completing my specialist training in Traumatology and Orthopedics at the Universidad de Chile.
Since then, I have dedicated my career to delivering exceptional medical care, dividing my professional practice between the Traumatology and Orthopedics Service at Hernán Henríquez Aravena Hospital, the Universidad de la Frontera, and various clinics in Temuco.
With 30 years of experience as a specialist, my unwavering goal has always been to provide my patients with the highest standard of care. I am deeply committed to continuous education, sharing my expertise with the next generation of medical professionals, and fostering collaborative work environments that encourage ongoing learning.
Beyond my passion for medicine, I am an avid enthusiast of endurance sports such as running, swimming, and cycling. I participated in triathlons for several years, including long-distance events like IRONMAN. Although I haven’t competed recently, I still enjoy running and cycling, especially for the conversations that accompany them while we travel the routes of the Araucania Region.
