Endocrinology with time, empathy and real results
Elite training in Latin America
Dr. Penados completed her subspecialty in Endocrinology and Metabolism at Hospital José E. González of UANL in Monterrey: one of the most important reference centers in the region, where cases others cannot resolve are sent.
A full hour for your first appointment
Dedicating 60 minutes to your first consultation allows us to conduct a complete medical history, physical exam, review of studies and a treatment plan explained without rushing. Because hormonal problems need time to be properly understood.
Internal Medicine + Endocrinology
Dr. Penados is an Internist with 7+ years of practice. For patients managing diabetes, high blood pressure and excess weight at the same time, that distinction matters: the hormonal system does not work in isolation, and neither does her training.
Obesity treated for what it is: a hormonal disease
Internationally SCOPE-certified in the clinical management of obesity; in a context where ’losing weight’ is often reduced to diets, Dr. Penados approaches it through metabolism, real body composition and scientific evidence.
