Summary
- I am a board-certified family physician with over 20 years of practice experience. I graduated from Jefferson Medical College of Philadelphia (now Sidney Kimmel Medical College) and completed internship and residency at the Brown Family Medicine Residency Program in Pawtucket, Rhode Island. I hold additional certification in Lifestyle Medicine.
Fluent in English, Spanish and Portuguese, I have practiced in a variety of office and hospital settings, from rural community health centers to academic medical practices. Benedict Medicine is my expression of a call to practice in accordance with Christian principles.
