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 ----------

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!
