I've been in love with Otolaryngology from the first class I received. I'm passionate about a condition suffered by many but misunderstood by the majority; to understand, diagnose, treat and support patients with vertigo or balance disorders is the main goal of my daily professional work.
I have always believed that education and patient information are crucial for them to have a good overview of their situation and to better understand what is happening and how their case will be addressed. Another important point is that the time devoted to the patient is one of the most valuable variables in my practice, because I believe in dedicating my patients a required amount of time so that everything is clear and the diagnosis and/or treatment are successful.
