About
Specialist in Digestive Medicine, trained at Corporació Sanitària Parc Taulí (UAB) with a clinical rotation at Hospital Universitario Ramón y Cajal in Madrid. PhD in Medicine from the UAB, awarded cum laude. Currently affiliated with Hospital Parc Taulí in Sabadell and the Consorci Sanitari de l'Anoia (Hospital d'Igualada).
In both in-person and video consultations, I approach common digestive conditions with the rigour of evidence-based medicine, avoiding unnecessary prescriptions.
Good medicine is not about doing more — it's about doing what is right.

Request urgent appointmentEndoscopy
Interpreting a colonoscopy, gastroscopy or endosonography report is not always straightforward. Terms such as Barrett's oesophagus, erosive oesophagitis, hiatal hernia, colorectal polyps and adenomas, diverticula, subepithelial lesions or submucosal tumours raise frequent questions for patients.
What does this finding mean? Do I need another procedure? How often should I have a surveillance colonoscopy? Is it normal to have polyps — and why do I have them? Does Barrett's require treatment? Is Barrett's oesophagus dangerous or cancerous?
As a digestive endoscopy specialist and gastroenterologist with experience in colonoscopy, gastroscopy, endosonography and ERCP, I help you understand what these findings mean, whether they require follow-up or endoscopic surveillance, what the roadmap looks like, whether a further procedure is truly justified in your case, and what management options are available — all through an online gastroenterology consultation, with no waiting lists and fully independent medical judgement.
Reviewing your endoscopy results
Interpretation of findings from a previous gastroscopy, colonoscopy, or endosonography.
Assessing whether a procedure is necessary
Do you really need that endoscopy? I assess whether the indication is clinically justified for your case.
Post-procedure follow-up guidance
Surveillance intervals after polypectomy, Barrett's oesophagus, subepithelial lesions, or other findings.
Making sense of complex findings
Clear explanation of pancreatic, biliary, or submucosal lesions and the management options available.
Second opinion on ERCP or endosonography
I assess whether the proposed procedure is the most appropriate choice for your situation.
