Josué Maldonado Custodio, M.D.

My philosophy of care is to apply the concepts of informed consent and autonomy during each patient visit. This includes providing detailed explanation of patient's heart conditions in such a way that, once they have a good understanding, we can work together as partners in the decision-making process about next management.

I am married and have 4 children — 3 cats and a school-aged son. In my free time, I like to go biking or swimming; watch movies — I love Marvel and fantasy movies; play video games — all things Mario and Zelda, Magic the Gathering; play chess; watch anime and read books or listen to audiobooks during my commute — fantasy fiction.
