Primary Care, Pediatrics, Women's Health

About me

I’m a board-certified Family Medicine Physician with more than 5-years experience delivering high-quality pediatric care, primary care, and gynecologic care to patients of all ages. I’m a proud Domincan, born and raised in New York who’s passionate about providing care to people from all walks of life, including those residing in underserved or under-resourced communities. I trained at New York Presbyterian Hospital in Family Medicine and received my medical degree from Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons. It’s always my goal to work along with patients to incorporate effective evidence-based treatments and practices, as well as shared wisdom, with the goal of empowered health and wellness.

Approach to patient care

We’ll engage in a variety of preventive and healing modalities along with western medicine to support healthy living and address the root causes of any long-term health conditions. Additionally, I will support your care journey by really listening and exploring ways to reconnect you with your own power and abilities to heal.

Bedside manner
