The path I followed to become a board-certified dermatologist,
and the years of work behind 26 published papers,
including studies in SCI(E)-indexed international journals.

This rigorous research journey reflects the deep sense of responsibility I bring to every patient's skin.
From difficult-to-treat skin conditions to anti-aging, my research has spanned the full breadth of dermatology without being confined to a single field.
At Trinity, that integrity and passion—built steadily without chasing trends—will be reflected in a higher standard of care and results.
