General Info

About me

I became a urologist because I wanted to study a surgical specialty and specialize as a surgeon. Within all the specialties, I chose urology because it was the one I enjoyed the most of all the surgical specialties. Later, I specialized in Renal Transplant and this decision has been what motivates me to be constantly updated. In addition to this, it has allowed me to contribute with my knowledge and help future generations of urologists as the President of the Costa Rican Association of Urologists.
