He is the author and organizer of reference works and courses in Internal Medicine, with recognized performance in the training of clinicians and in the discussion of medical residency policies.
He was voted the best cardiologist in São Paulo by a Datafolha/Folha de S.Paulo survey among fellow physicians, in a vote of 822 physicians across 11 specialties . Peer recognition is one of the most valuable criteria in medicine, as it reflects the perception of those who have firsthand knowledge of the training, experience, ethical conduct, and clinical results of professionals.

In 2023, her name also appeared in reports by Piauí magazine and TV Cultura/UOL about allegations of harassment at Vila Nova Star Hospital, informing her of her dismissal at the time.
