He was then board-certified in dermatology by the American Board of Dermatology, which he continues to maintain.

Later, he returned to Venezuela to practice and teach dermatology. Well-known political circumstances there made him relocate back to the United States, first to McAllen in south Texas and then to Dallas in 1990 to practice and teach.
