Cardiology @South Shore Hospital
I am an advanced heart failure and transplant cardiologist at Northwell Health. I care for patients with end stage heart disease that may require advanced therapies such as heart transplantation or implantation of a mechanical heart pump. My areas of interest include cardiogenic shock, mechanical circulatory support, heart transplantation and cardiac disease in women. I was born and raised in Colombia. After completing medical school training in Colombia I moved to Boston, USA to continue my training. During my time in Boston, I had the opportunity to work in research at Massachusetts General Hospital and Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center. I also completed my internal medicine residency at Tufts University School of Medicine/Steward Carney Hospital. Subsequently, I moved to FL where I completed a cardiology fellowship at Mount Sinai Medical Center and advanced heart failure training at Mayo Clinic.
