From the time he was very young, Carlos has known he wanted to help people. He’s passionate about patient education, and making people feel comfortable and safe. One of his favorite phrases: there’s no such thing as a silly question. He views working in healthcare as a daily opportunity to be helpful.

After attending Everest College, he’s served for over a decade in both front and back office capacities across a wide range of disciplines including cardiology, pulmonology, internal medicine, and pediatrics. Most recently, he administered vaccines to people of all ages, from newborn to the elderly, and served as a kid’s club coordinator.

Born in San Jose, California, Carlos likes to spend his time at sporting events around the Bay, cheering on the SF Giants, the SJ Sharks, and the SJ Earthquakes. During the pandemic he discovered the peace and tranquility of gardening, and enjoys binge watching shows with his husky, Jack.
