When Dr. Navarro arrived at the Alajuela Hospital in 2005, he continued to take charge of the specialized gastroenterology consultation, because there was a deficit of gastroenterologists at that time and then the most complex cases had to be chosen and sent to the consultation that it was still active. In this way, it was that between that year and 2011 (when the Dr left the institution) he was in charge of managing all patients with liver diseases and all those with UC or Crohn’s disease in the Alajuela area of ​​attraction. Despite being the most complex patients, Dr. Navarro performed as a specialist in their care and was very sorry to have to leave that consultation when leaving the institution. Fortunately, other colleagues followed up with the specialized service.  “The experience accumulated in those years was fundamental in my development as a gastroenterologist,” Dr. Navarro tells us today. “To date managing patients with cirrhosis or inflammatory bowel disease is my greatest clinical passion. I do it with a careful analysis of each case, paying attention to details and using up-to-date medical information ”, he concluded.
