About me
My career is based on a delicate balance between clinical activity, scientific research, and teaching. These are three different aspects of the same great passion, that for surgery, which I have the pleasure of sharing every day with friends, students, and teachers, because it is the confrontation that makes us grow as professionals and as men.
The most rewarding part for me comes precisely from the opportunity and the knowledge that I can change the lives of patients, at least as far as those in the area of smiles are concerned. The gratitude and satisfaction of my patients is the greatest source of motivation to continue in what I consider my greatest passion.
