A personalised medical pathway, in clinic or from home
I am a medical doctor specialising in Anaesthesia and Pain Therapy, with expertise in integrative medicine and acupuncture. I combine listening, clinical assessment and targeted investigations to build a pathway suited to the individual.
I see patients in clinic in Ragusa and also offer appointments and online pathways when appropriate.

Explore the online consultationHow I work
Every pathway begins by listening and assessing the person. I bring together your clinical history, goals, documents and useful investigations to understand which next steps may genuinely help.
I begin with what you are experiencing
I gather your history, symptoms, treatments you have already followed and what you would like to improve.
I assess what is genuinely needed
When useful, I integrate the clinical assessment with documents, tests or specific investigations.
We build the next steps together
I give you a clear reading of what has emerged, and together we define priorities and possible next actions.
Personal supervision
A medical approach attentive to the person
My training in Anaesthesia and Pain Therapy is integrated with experience in integrative medicine and acupuncture. I consider each situation as a whole, always making the role and limits of every approach clear.
- Individual medical assessment
- Integration of conventional and complementary approaches
- Clear, personalised guidance
- Attention to the limits and appropriateness of every pathway

Frequently asked questions
Some useful answers to help you understand where to begin and which option may suit your situation.
Yes. Some pathways can begin online, while in other cases an in-clinic appointment is preferable. The choice depends on the type of need and what can be assessed remotely.

Acupuncture uses fine needles placed at specific points on the body and can be integrated into a personalised medical pathway when appropriate.
