Welcome to My Practice
For over 15 years, I've dedicated my career to helping patients reclaim their health and confidence through bariatric surgery. With more than 7,500 procedures performed, I've witnessed countless transformations that go far beyond the scale—they're about renewed energy, improved health, and the joy of living life fully again.
What sets my approach apart is my deep understanding of the emotional journey that accompanies weight loss surgery. I know that choosing surgery is one of the most significant decisions you'll ever make, and I'm here to support you every step of the way—from your first consultation through your long-term success.
My patients often tell me that what they appreciate most is my calm, reassuring presence. I believe that reducing anxiety and building trust are essential to successful outcomes. Whether you're nervous about surgery or uncertain about the process, I take the time to listen, answer your questions, and ensure you feel completely comfortable.
I'm passionate about creating a warm, supportive environment where patients feel heard and valued. You're not just a case number—you're a person with unique needs, concerns, and goals. Together, we'll create a personalized plan that's right for you.
My Philosophy & Approach
Patient comfort and emotional well-being are at the heart of everything I do. I understand that many patients come to me feeling anxious or overwhelmed. My goal is to create a calm, supportive atmosphere where you feel safe, informed, and confident in your decision. I take extra time with patients who need reassurance, and I'm always available to answer questions—no matter how small they may seem.
I believe in a personalized approach to bariatric surgery. Every patient is different, and what works for one person may not be the best choice for another. I carefully evaluate your medical history, lifestyle, and goals to recommend the procedure that will give you the best long-term results. My recommendations are always based on your health and success—never on what's easiest or most profitable.
I'm known for my warm, approachable personality and my ability to put patients at ease. Many patients tell me that after meeting with me, their fears melted away. I want you to feel like you're working with a trusted friend who genuinely cares about your well-being. Because I do.
Why I Chose Pompeii Surgical
Joining Pompeii Surgical was one of the best decisions of my career. What drew me to this organization was their commitment to patient-centered care and their mission to make bariatric surgery accessible to everyone, regardless of financial circumstances. I share those values deeply.
At Pompeii, I have the freedom to practice medicine the way it should be practiced—with compassion, integrity, and a focus on what's best for the patient. I'm not pressured to rush through consultations or recommend procedures based on profit. Instead, I can take the time to truly understand each patient's needs and provide the highest level of care.
I'm also proud to be part of Pompeii's pro bono program, which allows me to help patients who otherwise couldn't afford life-changing surgery. Being able to give back and make a real difference in people's lives is incredibly fulfilling. It reminds me every day why I became a surgeon in the first place.
Working alongside Dr. Quinones and the entire Pompeii team has been an honor. Together, we're building something special—a practice where patients are treated like family, and every surgery is performed with excellence and care.

Building Lasting Relationships
I don't just see you as a patient—I see you as a person embarking on a life-changing journey. Many of my patients stay in touch long after their surgery, sharing their successes, challenges, and milestones. I love hearing from them and celebrating their progress. It's one of the most rewarding parts of my job.
I'm known for my friendly, down-to-earth approach. Patients often tell me they feel comfortable opening up to me about their concerns and fears. That trust is something I never take for granted. My door is always open, and I'm here to support you—not just on surgery day, but throughout your entire journey.
