Happy National Latino Physician Day! Seeing patients & their families’ faces light up when I walk in the room & start speaking Spanish is such a privilege. Most comment this is the first time they’ve had a doctor, let alone a vascular surgeon, that looks & talks like them. 1/2

My family waited years for that moment, while my teenage self was the unofficial interpreter at all their doctor appointments and procedures. Thankful I get to live the dream of providing care to all, along with serving the community that reminds me of my family. 2/2

Another month and the trainees still can’t tell me that @kylieminogue is the one I’m playing in the OR. 😭 The vascular surgery education continues, but the music education needs improvement. 🥸

Practice what you preach. Wound clinic day means discussing with patients with venous insufficiency the importance of wearing daily compression stockings to prevent leg heaviness, swelling, and wounds! #callvascular #venousinsufficiency #veins

My resident informed me they didn’t know who Kylie Minogue was…on Pride Month. Seems like we have a lot of ground to cover clinically and with pop culture references. 🥸
