Over 10 years of experience | International training
A Journey Toward Medical Excellence
Medical Training in Cuba
My professional journey began at the Latin American School of Medicine in Havana, where I developed the solid foundations of my medical training.
Specialization in Spain
Afterward, I specialized at the prestigious Asepeyo Sant Cugat Hospital in Barcelona, where I completed my Specialization in Traumatology and Orthopedics and received advanced training in Shoulder and Knee Surgery. I complemented this education with a Master’s Degree in Surgical Anatomy from the Autonomous University of Barcelona to achieve maximum surgical precision.
FIFA Medical Centre
My passion for helping athletes and active individuals led me to complete specialized training in Sports Traumatology at the CEMTRO Clinic – FIFA Medical Centre of Excellence in Madrid, one of the world’s leading centers for Sports Medicine.
Serving in Guatemala
For over 10 years, I have applied this international training to serve patients from Guatemala and Central America, specializing in complex Shoulder and Knee cases and second opinions.
“My commitment to every patient is based on honesty and excellence. That’s why, together with my team, we take care of every detail from diagnosis to recovery.”Dr. Rodrigo Ramazzini Castro
