Board Certified Infectious Diseases physician
Serving the Destin, Miramar Beach, and Santa Rosa Beach areas.
My goal is to provide patients with the best medical care by combining the latest advances in medicine with a patient-centered and collaborative team approach.
My career spans over two decades with more than 15 years in academic medical centers, serving as Professor of Medicine, with over 130 publications, including the New England Journal of Medicine, JAMA, and Clinical Infectious Diseases, and over 7000 citations of my work.
During my career, I served as Hospital Epidemiologist at academic health systems in Miami, FL and Milwaukee, WI. I was also the Chief Quality and Safety Officer in Richmond, VA. I also worked for 5 years in private practice (Munster, IN) immediately after completing my training.
Now, in the last chapter of my professional career, I aim to incorporate all I have learned throughout these past 25 years to care for my patients.

I am originally from Lima, Peru
A city with wonderful sunsets and outstanding food
Medical school (1991-98)
In Peru, medical school is combined with undergraduate studies. At the age of 15, I started my medical studies at Universidad Peruana Cayetano Heredia. Challenging but enriching experience: here I learned not just medicine but also how to get things done with scarce resources.
