A graduate of University of Guadalajara School of Medicine, fully bilingual, completed his Internal Medicine residency at the University of Guadalajara Hospital Civil and University of Utah Health Sciences Center in Salt Lake City. His exposure to U.S. medical training standards allowed him to "blend" and combine his rich clinical background with the "state of the art" technology found in American teaching and academic hospitals. It was there where he found his true professional passion: the Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory.

Dr. Chavez applied to the most prestigious Cardiology Center in the country: The National Institute of Cardiology in Mexico City where he was one of 12 admitted each year from hundreds of applicants to attend the three year Cardiology fellowship program. After completion of his clinical cardiology fellowship, he was selected for further training in the Interventional Cardiology. He is fully certified both in Clinical and Interventional Cardiology by the Mexican Board Councils.

Dr. Chavez has been a pioneer in the area of Cardiology here in Puerto Vallarta, where he has established his practice. He is an active member of the Mexican Society of Cardiology (SMC) where he is appointed to the Chapter of Intensive Cardiac Care for the State of Jalisco. In the American College of Cardiology (ACC), he was advanced as Fellow in 2007, being a privilege given only to 2 other Mexican cardiologists in this year´s convocation.

To remain on the cutting edge of cardiac care, Dr. Chavez spends several months per year at the prestigious North Shore/Long Island Jewish Health System in Long Island, New York, learning "state of the art" techniques and sharpening his skills in the Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory.

Dr. Chavez has his office in Intermedica, a multi-specialty group of successful bilingual physicians who thrive for the excellence in medicine and patient care.
