Dr. Vasconcellos was born in Caracas, Venezuela and grew up in Miami, receiving his undergraduate degree from Florida International University. After graduating from Ross University School of Medicine, he did his Internal Medicine Residency at NewYork-Presbyterian Brooklyn Methodist Hospital and his Rheumatology fellowship at the University of Washington School of Medicine. Throughout his training Dr. Vasconcellos participated in many aspects of research, with a focus on lupus, but his passion has always been patient care.

Following his training Dr. Vasconcellos practiced in several large, successful practices in Florida and Massachusetts where he discovered the need for a more personalized, individualized approach for each patient. The traditional one size fits all approach of Orthodox medicine, which values quantity of care over quality of care led him to pursuing additional training including Anti-Aging & Regenerative Medicine with the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine and Nutrition courses from the Andrew Weil Center for Integrative Medicine. He also pursued additional training and certification in Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy under the instruction of Dr. Neal Rouzier, a pioneer in the field.

He is happy to be returning home to South Florida to provide care to his local community. In his free time Dr. Vasconcellos enjoys spending time with his family and friends, exercising, watching football and futbol and playing with his dog Riley (an Australian-Shepherd).
