Recommendation for Dr. Diego Vallejo Thomsen for Mammograms, bone density, ultrasound tests

Dr. Diego Vallejo is a Radiologist who's diagnostic office is at Puerta Hierro Sur on Lopez Mateo. It is easy to get to.

2 of us had appointments with him yesterday at 11 and 11:30 for mammograms. He said to call him just before we got to PH Sur and he would meet us. We called his cell and he said to meet him in the front lobby of the hospital.

We arrived and he was there and escorted us to the tall medical office complex directly in front of the hospital. Upon reaching his office floor, he assisted us through the security officer outside the elevator and took us right in for mammograms. His technician has been with him for 10 years and she was excellent and very precise in positioning.

After testing, Dr. Diego escorted us down to the payment desk and had our films and report sent to that area. We gave him our ticket we received to park in the under ground pay parking, to have validated for us and he told us to meet him back in the hospital lobby after we were done at the payment desk.

We walked back to the hospital lobby and Dr. Diego was there with our validated parking ticket and we drove off not have to pay for parking.

So nice to have a Dr. escort you through beginning to end !

He has ultrasound, bone density and mammogram services. He also comes to Quality Care but only does ultrasounds there now. His plan is to put more diagnostic equipment at Quality Care in the future.

For appointment for his service you can call his cell 333 954 6362. He has given me permission to give this information.

I thought I would post my experience with Dr. Diego here on this thread, in hopes that someone might me able to point out to me what I could have done differently. Unfortunately, my experience has been very different than "The Travelers".

I called the number on this post and spoke with Dr. Diego. I let him know that I wanted to schedule a mammogram at Puerta Hierro Sur. He scheduled a time and let me know which floor to go to in the tall clinic building in front of the hospital. When I went for my appointment, the office had no record of my appointment, and when I mentioned Dr. Diego's name, I just got some confused looks. Luckily, they were kind enough to fit me, but was told that my report would be emailed to me the next week and my CD of the scans would not be ready until then either. At no point during my time there, did Dr. Diego show up.

I sent him an email when I got home explaining that I was confused by the situation and the fact that I did not meet him at the hospital. I never received a response from him. When I didn't receive my results via email, I called him again. He did not explain why he wasn't at my appointment, but said that my results should be emailed that day. Well, it is now a week later and I still don't have any results. I don't have a car, so going to the clinic is a big time commitment with public transportation (I know it may come to that, and I am ok with that). And in any case, I would have liked to have an appointment with a radiologist to explain my results to me.

I feel really confused by this situation and wonder where I went wrong in setting up my appointment.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Gosh I am sorry to hear that as he met us at the hospital entrance and escorted us to his office for the procedures. I was at Quality Care recently and I noticed a Dra. card for the radiologist. I asked if Dr. Diego was still coming to Quality Care and I was told no. I don't know why but now there is a lady Dra. radiologist who does the ultrasounds. They do not have X-ray equipment available at QC.
