Dr. Cristóbal Davanzo

Introduction

As a doctor, I trained with the conviction that my patients’ health and safety always come first.

I firmly believe bariatric surgery can be the start of a new chapter, especially for people who have lived for years with obesity and the difficulties it can bring to their health and quality of life.

My main goal is to support you in a process that goes far beyond surgery: improving your quality of life and helping you live fully, with more health, energy and confidence.

Remember that surgery is only the first step. Your new chapter is built day by day: eating healthily, staying active and learning to care for your body.

How I work

For me, every patient is different. That is why I get to know their story, listen to their concerns and look for the best treatment alternative.

I work with a multidisciplinary team that supports patients before, during and after surgery.

We offer online and in-person care. In-person consultations are at Clínica Lo Curro and Clínica MEDS.

Surgeries can be done through the Bono PAD, for patients with private insurance (Isapre) or Dipreca, or as private-pay patients.

Why did I choose medicine?

I am the son of doctors. From a young age I knew how important it is to care for and help people.

That sparked my interest in medicine and, over the years, I found in surgery a way to help improve my patients’ health and quality of life.
