About
I am an Assistant Professor of Medicine at UT Health San Antonio. I also serve as Director of the Metabolic Liver Disease Program at the Texas Liver Institute.
Prior to joining TLI, I completed my Gastroenterology and Hepatology fellowships at the University of California at Los Angeles, and my Transplant Hepatology fellowship at Baylor University Medical Center at Dallas, Texas.
I have experience in all forms of liver disease and am a highly regarded physician, leader, educator and mentor. I have close to 15 years of clinical experience in transplant hepatology.
Research Interests:
My research interests include fatty liver disease, autoimmune liver disorders, drug induced liver injury, end-stage liver disease and liver transplantation.
I have authored and co-authored review articles on the management of fluid retention and cirrhosis, NAFLD and nutrition, outcomes in liver re-transplantation and the optimization of hepatitis C treatment.
I am fluent in Spanish and have been doing medical missions in Central America for close to 10 years. I attend both inpatient and outpatient services at UT Health San Antonio.
