Dr. Cabrera chose a career in medicine to help people in need and to provide comfort to patients and their family members. He chose this specialty because he was fascinated with the physiology of the heart and its relationship with the rest of the body. The most rewarding thing about being a doctor to him is seeing his patients improve, feel better and do activities they weren't able to do before treatment.
