About

I graduated in Medicine from the Catholic University of Valencia and completed my specialist residency (MIR) at Hospital Marina Baixa in Villajoyosa. I then subspecialised in arthroscopic surgery and sports traumatology, with a Master's degree at UCAM and training placements at leading centres in Madrid and Barcelona.

My career has moved between the operating theatre, teaching and sports medicine, including several years in professional football. Today I see patients in Torrevieja, operate at IMED Elche and IMED Alicante, and work as an assistant doctor to the Elche CF first team and football academy.

The way I work comes down to three ideas: precise diagnosis, preserving the joint whenever possible, and explaining things clearly so we can decide together — in plain English.
