My Biography

I received my medical degree from the University of Texas, Houston Medical School then completed a general surgical residency at the Boston University Surgical Program. I obtained further training by completing a vascular surgery fellowship at the Lahey Clinic, and, most recently, at the University of Rochester. I am board certified with the American Board of Surgery in the specialty of vascular surgery. I was born in the Philippines, but have been living here in the U.S. since 1969. I have a wife and two boys. I am located in Building A.

Interests

• Professionally, I have interests in Distal Extremity Revascularization.
• When I am not working, I enjoy running, bicycling, skiing, reading, computers, and soccer.

My Philosophy of Care

Besides being a surgeon, I also view myself as an educator for my patients. Since not all-vascular disease requires a procedure, I fully believe that teaching my patients about managing their disease and medical risks is just as important as invasive therapy. I also believe that the patient and family should be active participants in their own care. With this type of partnership, I feel, there rests a greater chance of improving their well being.

If you think you have a MEDICAL OR PSYCHIATRIC EMERGENCY, CALL 911 IMMEDIATELY or go to the nearest hospital. DO NOT attempt to access emergency care through this web site. An emergency medical condition is a medical or psychiatric condition that manifests itself by acute symptoms of sufficient severity (including severe pain) such that you could reasonably expect the absence of immediate medical attention to result in any of the following: serious jeopardy to your health, serious impairment to your bodily functions, or serious dysfunction of any bodily organ or part. An emergency medical condition is also "active labor," which means a labor when there is inadequate time for safe transfer to a Plan hospital (or designated hospital) before delivery or if a transfer poses a threat to the health of the member or unborn child.
