Trust and professionalism
I am the mother of two extraordinary human beings. With my family, I find my safe haven, my foundation, my refuge, my strength. In medicine, I discovered a way to serve and care with science and empathy.
Being an otolaryngologist and cervicofacial surgeon taught me that every gesture counts. More than technique, it requires a watchful eye, steady hands, and a present heart.
Juggling a scalpel and a lap, emergencies and bedtime stories, surgeries and hugs… requires courage, dedication, and love.
It is in this daily challenge that I reinvent myself and rediscover the woman I chose to be, driven by the passion to care: for my patients, my family, and myself. My life is made of encounters, stories, listening and gratitude.

Diagnosis and treatment of ear, nose, and throat conditions in children. From recurrent ear infections to hearing, breathing, or sleep problems, early care makes all the difference for healthy growth.
Voice and Swallowing Disorders
Assessment and treatment of voice changes, persistent hoarseness, or swallowing difficulties. The goal is to restore function and improve quality of life for children and adults, professionals, or anyone with vocal complaints that impact daily life.
Aesthetic and Functional Facial Surgery
Procedures such as rhinoplasty and septorhinoplasty that combine aesthetics with function. The aim is to achieve facial harmony without compromising breathing, while always respecting each patient’s individuality.
Lacrimal Duct Disorders
Alterations in the lacrimal duct can cause constant tearing, infections, and eye discomfort.
Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment are essential to restore the natural flow of tears and prevent complications.
Through precise and safe surgical techniques, it is possible to recover lacrimal function and restore comfort and quality of life to the patient.
Sleep Disorders and Snoring (Rhonchopathy)
Sleep disturbances such as snoring and sleep apnea have a direct impact on quality of life, rest, and overall health.
Treating these conditions requires careful evaluation to identify their causes and determine the most suitable approach (medical, surgical, or combined).
Improving breathing during sleep is more than eliminating snoring: it’s about promoting restorative nights, renewed energy, and lasting well-being.
