Specific professional-license and certification numbers are intentionally excluded from the public copy until they are verified against current documentation. Validated credentials and professional affiliations should remain consistent across the website and other verified professional profiles.
His confirmed priority scope includes reflux or GERD and hiatal hernia, gallbladder disease and cholecystectomy, abdominal hernias, appendicitis and appendectomy, abdominal-pain evaluation, and gastrointestinal surgery when an operation is clinically indicated.
A consultation does not automatically mean that surgery is necessary. The next step depends on the diagnosis, symptoms, previous studies, treatment history, and the individual patient.
The goal of the evaluation is to clarify the problem, review available studies and prior treatment, and determine the next appropriate step. Depending on the case, that may include additional diagnostic evaluation, non-surgical management, follow-up, a second opinion, or discussion of a surgical option.
Educational content on the website can help patients prepare questions, but it does not replace an in-person medical assessment.
Minimally invasive gastrointestinal surgery is part of the practice when it is appropriate for the procedure and the individual patient. Laparoscopic, single-incision (SILS), or robotic approaches may be discussed only when they apply to the specific operation.
No minimally invasive technique is automatically the best choice for every patient. The approach should be selected after reviewing the diagnosis, procedure, anatomy, clinical factors, and individual circumstances.
Confirmed consultation locations are Roma Sur at Hospital Ángeles Metropolitano, Torre 3, Consultorio 1601, Mexico City, and Interlomas at Hospital Ángeles Lomas, Torre de Especialidades, Consultorio 1160, State of Mexico. Current phone numbers, WhatsApp and scheduling routes should be checked on the contact page at the time an appointment is requested.
