He told Mega Doctor News that since he was in high school, he planned to be a doctor. Today, he is a renown orthopedic surgeon practicing in Harlingen, Texas.

A few years ago he started his own practice and built a facility that houses OrthoCare, a professional practice which focuses on a specialty that deals with bone and joint disorders. It also includes muscle disorders, degenerative changes, and accidents or injuries also known as trauma and any other injury associated with activities such as work or sports.

Dr. Cobos pointed out that he has optimized OrthoCare with a state-of-the-art digital X-Ray system, an Extremity MRI, and Ultrasound equipment, which is vital to precisely pinpointing and diagnosing each patient’s situation and to treat their condition,” he said.

Also you will learn about the unique technique that he uses in surgery to give his patients as comfortable an experience as possible and how he credits God and his wife Wendy for his success.
