About Pamela Thompson
Expertise
I have lived in Puerto Vallarta for 17 years, full time, originally from the United States. I have a lot of great information on the area, and surrounding areas that I enjoy sharing with people planning their vacation to Puerto Vallarta. Unique and interesting facts and hints on the area. As well, I am the Patient and International Services Coordinator at a hospital here in Vallarta so I am happy to assist with healthcare questions.

Experience
No great accomplishments, just that I have lived here, year round for many years!

Question
QUESTION: Hello!  I am italian and american,67, living in Tomatlan since January. I have a painful swollen breast and  am trying to find a good english speaking doctor to  find out what it is.It takes me an hour to drive to Vallarta and would like to see to this as soon as possible. Would you have any suggestions? I tend towards alternative medicine, but accept any advice you can give me.  Thankyou so much.  I can b e in Vallarta tomorrow. It is really painful.  Thankyou

ANSWER: Stephany, Please email me at pamela@healthcareresourcespv.com after this, ok?
Normally I would send you to Dr. Daniel Velasco - but he is out of town until next week. Can you wait til then? If not, I can have you do a mammogram/ultrasound and then follow up with Dra. Michele who is a great (female) internist. Let me know! thanks, pamela

---------- FOLLOW-UP ----------

QUESTION: your email  results non existent.  Yes I would like to see Dra. Michele, possibly before doing the mammogram/ultrasound.  I have done blood tests in Guadalajara, and all seem ok, am waiting for one which takes 10-15 days.  I feel this is urgent, especially since I am due in Washington, dc the first part of next week.  If it is possible to begin tomorrow, I shall be in PV for other reasons.  SHall sen an email as soon as I can cget the your email address through.  Thankyou for replying so quickly.  Debbie Orlando gave me your name.  Thankyou again.  Stephany Kerwin

Answer
Stephany, I am not sure why AllExperts never notified me of this email follow up from you.
I am as well, not sure why you can't email me because I receive tons of emails every day from that email address (pamela@healthcareresourcespv.com) You can try pmt15@hotmail.com
