She is very caring, explains everything well, does not over test. Dr. V and Amber are a good team. I have been a patient for 6 or 7 years and would recommend her to anyone.

I think Dr. Valenzuela is awesome. She understands what is going on and explains things to you in a caring & calm manner. She doesn't push you into having unnecessary tests or medications. She wants to do what is right for you & will help you feel better. There is also very little waiting in her office. Once you check in & her MA Amber, who is also very friendly & thorough, gets your weight, seated in a room & gets your vitals, Dr. Valenzuela is in to see you in no time. You can tell her & Amber are an great team. The front office staff along with the phlebotomist & the team member who does the breathing tests are also very friendly. I am thankful for all of them & so glad I started going to this office.
