A LEGACY OF PRECISION & TRUST
Dr. Alec's journey into specialized care began in Medellín, Colombia, where he earned his first Doctor of Dental Surgery in 1997, followed by an intensive four-year residency in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery (1999–2003). After nearly a decade of running his own successful private practice abroad, Dr. Alec made a life-changing decision: he moved to the United States to be with his wife, Amelia.
​
Driven by a desire to provide the highest level of care in his new home, Dr. Alec chose to start his journey over. He completed a prestigious residency at Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard School of Dental Medicine (2015–2017) and earned a second Doctor of Dental Surgery from the University of Detroit (2024). This rare combination of international experience and Ivy League training makes him a uniquely knowledgeable expert in his field.
