Summary

  • I'm a neurologist currently completing a one-year clinical fellowship in Neuro-Ophthalmology at Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary. My expertise includes diagnosing, treating, and managing disorders related to the brain and nervous system as they relate to the eyes. This includes conditions such as migraines, strokes, epilepsy, and neuro-inflammatory conditions, such as multiple sclerosis. I earned my medical degree from the Universidad Central del Caribe School of Medicine in Puerto Rico and completed my residency training in neurology at the University of Illinois in Chicago. I will soon be taking my board examinations. My dedication is to provide exceptional care to my patients, particularly those in diverse and underserved communities. As a physician, I make sure to stay updated with the latest developments in neurological research and therapies to offer the best possible care to my patients.
