Why families prioritize pediatric surgeons
Children are not small adults. Pediatric operations require age-specific decisions, refined surgical technique, and clinical judgment tailored to each child's physical and emotional needs.
Our surgeons completed 7 years of medical school, 5 years of surgical training, and an additional 2-year pediatric surgery subspecialty program: a total of 14 years of study and practice. This advanced pathway provides safer, more precise care designed specifically for your little ones.
- Hospital Roosevelt training: both specialists completed the Pediatric Surgery Program in 2017.
- Current hospital leadership: service heads at IGSS Quetzaltenango and Hospital Regional de Occidente.
- Transparent credentials: license number and full training pathway are shown on each profile.
