I’m from Quito, Ecuador. I grew up around healthcare—my dad was a dentist, my mom was a nurse, and I had uncles who were doctors. I saw how they helped people, and that really inspired me to follow a similar path.


When I found Mountain Park, I knew it was the right place. I liked that it helps people who need it most. That felt right to me.
When you’re in an appointment with me, you can expect me to really listen. I want to understand what you’re going through so we can work together on the best plan for your health. I believe in treating every patient the way I’d want my own family to be treated.


Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my wife and three kids. I try to stay active and avoid unhealthy habits.
As a kid, I wanted to be a doctor or a pilot—I love airplanes! I even have a model airplane collection that I still enjoy today.


Working in healthcare is more than a job to me. It’s about serving others with care and respect.
