Iván Figueroa Otero M.D. FACS, FAAMA
After graduating from the School of Medicine of the University of PR in 1970, Dr. Figueroa Otero trained as General Surgeon at the University Hospital of the UPR School of Medicine, integrating a one-year fellowship in the study of cancer and one year in experimental research. Post-graduate studies in Pediatric Surgery follow at Miami Children's Hospital and the San Juan Municipal Hospital.
Looking for non-surgical or less invasive options for pediatric conditions, Dr. Figueroa Otero explores Eastern philosophies that emphasize a holistic concept of disease. He was one of the first physicians to become certified in medical acupuncture in Puerto Rico, training in traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture with professors from the University of Seville. Eventually, he was certified in medical acupuncture nationally.
In 2009, he became certified in anti-aging medicine, and in December of that year, he retired from the practice of pediatric surgery, focusing instead on a holistic medical approach and emphasizing disease prevention and modification of lifestyles. In 2011 he was invited to become a Trustee of the American Board of Medical Acupuncture, the national body organization responsible for certifying physicians in the field of acupuncture through national exams. In that same year, he was recognized by Natural Awakenings magazine as Holistic Physician of the Year.
Dr. Figueroa Otero is currently engaged in his private practice and continues in his role as an educator, trying to achieve full integration of traditional Chinese acupuncture courses in the curriculum of medical schools, promoting that physicians be certified both locally and nationally, and establishing clinical research protocols on the use of acupuncture in known conditions compared to the methodology based by modern medicine. Another immediate priority is to incorporate meditation techniques and their role in preventive and therapeutic treatment.

Ivan Figueroa-Otero's Blog: The School of Life, review for the final exam

The Look of Love

When you learn to see the universe through the eyes of your Spirit (heart) you will only see love.

What do I mean with this phrase? Does it imply a lack of awareness of the reality suffering that surrounds us?

“Where do I come from?
We are the children of the Great Explosion of Love that begot the whole Universe. We bear a common lineage that unites us in its interminable matrix, that is manifested in all of the different and infinite dimensions, allowing us to participate in this unending co-creation with an attitude of loving co-responsibility.
Who am I?
I am a being of light (Love), with innumerable dimensional manifestations of shadings of Love and Life. The transitory experience within matter, time and space (human being) resides in those manifestations. This allows me the use of my free will in a co-responsible way in the co-creative process of life.”
