About me
I trained in Panama and Israel, with a dedicated fellowship in pelvic, acetabular and hip surgery at Hadassah Ein Karem Hospital, one of the world's reference centres. I am AO Foundation Faculty and Education Chair for AO Panama.
Beyond technique, I believe in listening. Every patient arrives with a story and a fear; my job is to explain clearly, give honest options and stay with them through recovery.
