Bio

About

I am a pediatrician and pediatric endocrinologist with more than 15 years of experience in the management of endocrine disorders in children and adolescents. Throughout my career, I have continuously worked with conditions requiring long-term follow-up, such as type 1 diabetes, growth disorders, pubertal alterations, thyroid diseases, and other complex endocrine conditions.

Having completed clinical observerships at Mount Sinai Hospital and at internationally recognized pediatric centers such as the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, Boston Children’s Hospital, and SickKids Hospital (Toronto), I combine medical rigor with a close, clear, and family-centered approach. I have participated in the development of international clinical practice guidelines in pediatric diabetes and collaborate in global medical education initiatives.

I understand that many of these conditions accompany children and their families for years. For this reason, beyond individual consultations, I emphasize structured follow-up and ongoing support, helping families make informed decisions and navigate the process with greater confidence.

Areas of care

I support families in the management and evaluation of pediatric endocrine conditions, such as:

  • Growth problems and short stature
  • Early or delayed puberty
  • Thyroid conditions
  • Diabetes mellitus
  • Childhood obesity and metabolic disorders
  • Congenital adrenal hyperplasia and other complex endocrine conditions

Each case is approached individually, with sufficient time to listen, review available information, and provide clear, evidence-based guidance tailored to each family’s situation.
