Victor Cepeda MD

Infectious Diseases and Internal Medicine Doctor.

Summary

“We live in a world that evolves constantly and as such, the infectious diseases also evolve, the microorganisms develop new resistances and new mechanisms of infection. At the same time, new diagnostic procedures and new antibiotics are created constantly. A lot of understanding of all of these processes is necessary and that is the time when infectious disease physicians come into play to care for our patients and society as a whole.”

I'm an Infectious disease physician trained in dealing with multiple infections and related pathologies, diagnostics, and challenging treatments.
