He then became chief of Cardiology at both Maricopa Medical Center and Phoenix Memorial Hospital. After many years of intensive work in cardiology, concerned with the impossibility to provide optimal medical care in the current managed care environment in this country he pursued and completed a fellowship in Cosmetic Surgery at Millennium Cosmetic and Laser Institute from 2003 to 2007 with extensive training in Liposuction, diverse Laser treatments and minimally invasive cosmetic surgery. He opened CIAO BELLA MEDICAL SPA @ VEIN CLINIC in Chandler Arizona in December 2007.
