Happy Mother’s Day to my beautiful wife. The girls were blessed with your love for just a short period, but it was enough love to last them a lifetime. Thank you for loving them unconditionally and setting them up for success personally, emotionally, spiritually and professionally. Today we’ll remember you for all the wonderful things you were and for all you provided for them. We miss you and we love you ❤️

As a proud valley native, I’ve been humbled and honored to be a part of the immense growth that the medical community has undergone in recent years. More importantly, this growth has led to increased accessibility to a once severely underserved area. We now have primary care physicians, specialists and subspecialists that rival that of any region in Texas. My subspecialty is gastroenterology, seeing patients in Harlingen, TX and Brownsville, TX with the Gastroenterology Consultants of South Texas (GCST). I am trained in performing a variety of procedures including but not limited to EGD, colonoscopy, endoscopic ultrasound and ERCP. My goal is to continue to increase my visibility and role in the medical services provided here in the valley. I have created this page in an effort to become more accessible and visible not only to patients, but also to potential partners in medical care. This page will also serve to provide medical opinions, articles, and news related to gastroenterology. While this does not serve as a replacement for a full medical evaluation in my clinic, I would be happy to answer and field any general questions you may have regarding my practice or regarding a general medical condition. Please feel free to share my page with friends, family or anyone you think may benefit from care from a board-certified gastroenterologist. Demographic info below, thanks!
