I recently completed my training in general pediatrics at Hope Children’s Hospital, where I developed a reputation as a competent, thoughtful and caring pediatrician. I was born and raised in the Chicago area. My schooling and previous career in the furniture industry have taken me to Colorado, Wyoming, Atlanta, and Milwaukee, before realizing my dream of practicing medicine here in the Chicago suburbs.
My wife Rosi was born in Monterrey, Mexico. As a result, I have made an effort to learn about and contribute to our large, warm-spirited and hard-working Mexican-American community. We have two wonderful young boys who have taught me some of the finer points of pediatrics.
I am excited to begin my career at Southwest Pediatrics. The office staff is outstanding, and the physicians have built a practice that is very highly respected in the pediatric medical community.
I appreciate the opportunity to care for your children and look forward to working to optimize your child’s health and development.
