Summary
- I am a board certified surgeon specializing in laparoscopic and robotic surgery. I perform weight loss surgery procedures like the gastric sleeve and bypass. I also do general surgery operations like hernia repair, gallbladder removal, colon and intestinal, removal of lumps.
My other main interest is Heartburn and reflux disease. I am trained to do the Linx procedure, antireflux operations and repair of hiatal hernias.
I am the most experienced robotic surgeon in the Rio Grande Valley and most of the procedures I do are done laparoscopically (little holes). Laparoscopic surgery hurts less and patients recover faster.
