Medical services

Scheduled appointments, in person or by video call. All treatments are indicated based on your medical history and lab work.

Weight management & metabolic health

A complete medical program, not a fad diet. It's for those who want to improve their body composition and metabolic health with a serious, sustainable method.

What does your initial assessment include?

  • Complete medical history and physical exam
  • Evaluation of your metabolic profile with lab work
  • Analysis of the type of overweight and associated factors
  • Setting realistic goals together

What does your personalized plan include?

  • A nutrition plan that teaches: you learn to eat well for good
  • Exercise and physical activity guidance adapted to you
  • Medication (oral or injectable) only when indicated, based on your labs and goals
  • Follow-up visits to adjust the plan
Important: weight-management medications require an individual medical assessment. Their indication depends on your metabolic profile, lab work and history; not every patient is a candidate. Results vary from person to person.

General medicine

Comprehensive medical care for you and your family, by scheduled appointment.

Diabetes management

Diagnosis, control and follow-up with clear targets: glucose, glycated hemoglobin and prevention of complications. Includes education so you understand and manage your condition.

Hypertension management

Blood-pressure control with individualized treatment, monitoring and lifestyle adjustments that reduce cardiovascular risk.

Cholesterol & triglycerides

Management of dyslipidemia based on your lipid profile: nutrition, physical activity and medical treatment when indicated.

Preventive checkups

A general evaluation with lab work to catch metabolic, kidney, thyroid and other changes early, even without symptoms.

Acute conditions & infections

Diagnosis and treatment of respiratory, gastrointestinal, urinary and other common conditions.

Pain management

Acute and chronic pain addressed from an integral point of view, looking for the cause and not only momentary relief.

Routine lab tests

For a complete assessment I usually request (or review, if you already have them):

  • Complete blood count (CBC)
  • Comprehensive metabolic panel (30-element blood chemistry)
  • Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c)
  • Thyroid profile (TSH and free T4)
  • Fasting insulin
  • Urinalysis
  • Albumin/creatinine ratio and glomerular filtration rate (kidney function)

If you already have recent tests, bring them to your first visit: they may be enough to get started.

Telehealth & referrals

Telehealth

Consultation by WhatsApp Business video call, by appointment. Ideal for follow-ups, reviewing lab results and treatment adjustments when you can't come to the office.

Teamwork with specialists

I handle nutrition and the exercise plan directly in the consultation. When your case calls for it, I refer you to psychology, endocrinology or bariatric surgery, and follow your progress jointly.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to bring lab tests to my first appointment?

It is not mandatory. If you already have recent results (last 3 to 6 months), bring them: they can save you time and money. If you don't have them, at the first visit I'll tell you exactly which ones you need for your case.

Do you see children, teenagers and older adults?

Yes. Most of my patients are adults aged 20 to 60, but I also see teenagers, children and older adults, always assessing each case and referring to a specialist when it's best.

Do you use injectable medication for weight management?

Yes, I use both oral and injectable treatments. Their indication always depends on your goals, your lab work, your metabolic profile and the type of overweight. Assessment comes first; medication is never the starting point.

How do I book an appointment?

On WhatsApp at +52 664 495 6972 (preferred channel) or by phone at +52 664 920 8552. I only see scheduled appointments, not emergencies.

Do you provide invoicing?

Yes, an electronic invoice (factura) is issued. Request it when you book your appointment.
