Doubly board certified by the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology in in Obstetrics and Gynecology & Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility
Personal:
Married, father of twins, Paloma and Valentino.
I needed IVF, donor egg and surrogacy to be a father and build my family. My personal and professional life are linked by the IVF lab and modern fertility technologies. It's surreal to look back and know that my children were once in a petri dish, were biopsied as embryos and and frozen in my lab! Thanks to science I am a father, and needing fertility care to build my family has given me the unique experience and perspective of the patient which cannot be learnt "in school", ultimately allowing me to connect professionally and personally to my patients. I hope to bring some of that to light via Facebook. I was born in Bogota, Colombia, lived in Costa Rica for 3 years, and moved to Dallas in 1991 and started High School at Newman Smith Highschool in Carrollton. -> So Hablo Español and was educated here! I love to travel, photography, deep house music, and especially doing all the above with my family! Professional:
I graduated in Genetics and a minor in Spanish with High Honors from the University of Georgia. I graduated early from college to do scientific research fellowships at the National Institute of Health in Bethesda, and at Harvard Medical School in Boston. I obtained my MD at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine and set up the 1st free Spanish medical clinic in the region, which is still ongoing! For residency I moved to Chicago to do my Residency in Obstetrics and Gynecology at Northwestern University. Finally I moved to Dallas to do my fellowship in Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility at UTSW. Awards:
