About me
I am a general surgeon with 18 years of experience, specializing in minimally invasive surgery (laparoscopy). I graduated from CES University in Medellín and completed advanced training in laparoscopic surgery at national reference centers.
I specialize in abdominal and inguinal hernias, cholecystectomy (gallbladder), thyroid surgery, gynecomastia correction, and the removal of lipomas and cysts. In all cases, I prioritize laparoscopic approaches, which can lead to less discomfort, quicker recovery, and minimal scarring.
I maintain continuous education in new surgical techniques and am a member of the Colombian Association of Surgery (ACS). My objective is to offer you the surgery you need with enhanced safety and minimal impact on your daily life.

“A few days ago, Dr. Serrano operated on me for an inguinal hernia, and I only have praise and thanks for this professional for his impeccable work. Since it was an outpatient procedure, I left the clinic on my own two feet, with no pain or discomfort. The first day and subsequent days were the same. I didn't need painkillers or any other medication, and 12 days after the laparoscopy, I feel almost completely recovered. Of course, I'm following the kind surgeon's instructions because, if it were up to me, I'd already be exercising! On top of all this, I have to add Dr. Serrano's warm demeanor, which is so valuable when you're dealing with health issues and need kindness and understanding, and he truly shines with his people skills.”
