Francisco Guadarrama, M.D.
A harmonizing view of health.
Dr. Guadarrama's practice adheres to the principles established in the Declaration of Geneva.
Our philosophy
Health must be seen as a whole, in which physical discomforts, mental well-being and social difficulties are pondered with the same care. Doctor Guadarrama provides an integrative medical consult that appraises these three human spheres, reviews the best and most recent scientific evidence to decide, along with his patients, the best way to address their concerns.
