About me

I am double board certified in pediatrics and obesity medicine and have over 8 years of experience caring for children of all ages.  After graduating from medical school in Havana, Cuba where I became fluent in Spanish, I completed my residency training in Newark, NJ where my love of newborn care really flourished.  I then moved to south Georgia where I had the pleasure of serving children from the ages of 0-18 years old and became a certified Lactation Counselor.  I am looking forward to meeting you and your family!
