Dr. M. Carolina Jimenez is an Assistant Professor of Surgery at University of Miami, Miller School of Medicine. She obtained her medical degree at the Pontificia Universidad Javeriana in Colombia. She then moved to Toronto, Canada to pursue additional training and completed a master's degree in Health Services Research at the University of Toronto - the top university in Canada, worked in eHealth with the University of Toronto and the Panamerican Health Organization (PAHO) and did research in Minimally Invasive Surgery at the University Health Network (UHN) - the largest health research organization in Canada. She completed residency in General Surgery at the University of Toronto and then moved to Miami to advance her surgical knowledge and skills by completing a fellowship in minimally invasive surgery and surgical endoscopy at the University of Miami/Jackson Health System.

    This Doctor is the best not only she looked into what is going on but took the time to hear the whole story, and look into other issues that can be seen right now as preventative instead of waiting until things get out of hand. The key works is prevention and not reaction, I love you be able to correct something in time. Dr Carolina Jimenez is what Doctors should inspire to be!
