I was born in Mexico City and at a young age, I developed an interest for healthcare and medicine from my father, a doctor in dentistry. Following his footsteps, I applied and was accepted into medical school and graduated as a Doctor in Medicine (MD) in the top 3% of my class. After practicing family and corporate medicine for 2 years, I chose to move to San Diego, to continue my career and passion for sports medicine.

Once I arrived, I decided to enroll in my second doctorate, Chiropractic with an emphasis in Sports Medicine at SCUHS. I wanted to master the skills necessary to be able to provide top quality care to those in San Diego needing it. I graduated summa cum laude of my class and since have been enjoying treating my fellow San Diegans.

In order to help more people I am certified in Spanish, English and French and am in the process of learning Italian and Japanese. I stay active by doing CrossFit classes every morning and swimming during the weekdays.

I am dedicated to the health and well-being of my patients, friends and family. Through my knowledge of the newest and latest techniques, I vow to give my patients 110% and most importantly my TIME. As a child and young adult, I had the pleasure of playing many competitive sports such as hockey, soccer, football, baseball and dirtbike riding to name a few. As you could imagine I suffered my fair share of injuries. I would go to the doctor only to have him send me home with a prescription and a suggestion to stop activity for a certain allotted amount of time. I never really understood what was wrong with me or how I could help myself get better, and more importantly, faster. I wanted to know why I couldn’t participate in certain activities, activities that I loved to do so much. Perhaps if I would have known the repercussions I was to incur later in life, I may have been more likely to cooperate, and stay off the injury. I could have made an educated decision. From that day on, I made a vow to myself; if I ever got into the medical field I would educate my patients on their particular condition, and give them the TIME, ATTENTION and most importantly the knowledge of their condition so they may be able to make an educated decision for themselves to improve their own quality of life.

Still active in many athletics such as; soccer, dirt bike riding, surfing, jet skiing, exercising, and mountain biking. I bring a “players” insight into fitness and health. I understand what it means to be part of a TEAM and what it takes to work together to accomplish a common goal. My patients and I are a TEAM, and together we will travel the road to achieve optimal health and well being.

I have continued my life-long involvement in sports from a player, to a coach, to a sports medicine health care professional as a licensed Doctor of Physical Therapy. I am passionate about helping individuals return to their sport through integrating education, targeted therapeutic exercise, and hands-on manual therapy interventions.

I received a Bachelor of Science degree in Biopsychology, Cognition & Neuroscience from the University of Michigan in 2013 where I played 4 years of D1 rugby. Towards the end of my playing career I separated my shoulder, introducing me to the world of rehabilitation and Physical Therapy. I quickly transitioned my career path while coaching rugby at the collegiate, high school, and middle school levels.

Fast forward to 2018, when I graduated from Drexel University with a Doctorate of Physical Therapy and further specialized experience in concussion assessment, adaptive sports, and biomechanical running assessments. I began my professional career in Santa Cruz, CA working for an outpatient sports-medicine clinic. As COVID hit I transitioned to travel PT where I worked with numerous, highly educated PTs in both outpatient and home health settings. After 3 years I craved a sense of stability and community leading me to sunny San Diego.

I continue to enjoy staying active through surfing, mountain biking, yoga, meditating, running, tennis, pickleball, volleyball, camping, and disc golf. I have continued my life-long pursuit of knowledge through the following organizations: -Institute of Physical Art -Maitland-Australian Physiotherapy Seminars -John F. Barnes Myofascial Release

I can personally relate to the highs of playing a sport you love and the lows of being unable to participate due to injury, and both the physical and mental consequences. My unique education and personal background allows me to adopt a holistic approach in assessing and treating specific injuries and biomechanical deficiencies, but also incorporating applicable pain neuroscience principles and behavioral change strategies to optimize health and wellness.
