Meet Dr. Alejandro Jaramillo
I knew I wanted to go into pediatrics when I had my first opportunity to care for children in medical school back in 1982. I felt very comfortable interacting with them, seeing their spontaneous and honest behavior and taking care of them, both in the hospital and in the clinic settings. Caring for the most vulnerable and sometimes helpless human beings like the newborns, having the opportunity to affect lives over the long term has been always very motivating to me. That's why, after being a general practitioner for three years in an underserved area in my home country, Colombia, I decided to do my specialty in general pediatrics.
I have been practicing medicine since 1984 and pediatrics since 1990, and one of the most important things I've learned is listening to the parents and trying to partner with them in taking care of their children. For me, the sincere expression of gratitude in the faces of my patients and their parents is the most rewarding experience and the thing that keeps me offering the best of my knowledge and skills, to try to make their lives better.
While working as a Chief Resident in Pediatrics at Driscoll Children's Hospital in Corpus Christi, Texas I received The John G. and Elena Suess Kennedy Award for my service to the children, which made me very proud and thankful.
When I'm not at work, I spend most of my time with my family, especially interacting with my two lovely grandchildren, Pierre and Rose, watching them grow. I also enjoy traveling with my wife Martha, sharing time with my children: Ximena, Santiago and Etienne, playing sports like tennis, basketball, ping pong, and games like chess and billiards.
My goal is to treat my patients with the same love and care that I would treat my children and my grandchildren with.

This time and any time we bring our daughter here he treats us like family! He is always so kind and helpful with any issues we bring up, health wise or even when we were having attention issues. He saved my daughter life when she was only 3 weeks old. And continues to be so dedicated to all of the kids that come in to see him. I couldn't sing his praises enough, I recommend him to anyone needing a pediatrician. Our daughter is nervous when she comes in to the exam room but dr. Jaramillo always explains what each device is for and what will be happening. He talks to her as his equal and never down to her or any others. I'm always the mom with 100 questions and he has never rushed us or made me feel like my questions were dumb ones. We love Dr. Jaramillo !!!

Dr Jaramillo is amazing he addressed all of my concerns and answered all my questions throughly. He treated me with respect and took time to make sure I understood everything. He didn't rush us but instead showed actual interest in my child and his well being. The front desk lady with dark black curly hair is such an angel. She has really helped us out a lot. I didn't have an appointment and wouldn't be released from hospital If I didn't have an appointment scheduled. She worked her magic to get us seen. Anytime I've had questions or interactions with her it's been a pleasure to talk to her. I would recommend this office based on her alone because the way she treats you makes you feel welcomed. She's always genuinely kind. We live an hour away but it's worth it!!

I am relieved the visit went extremely well! I believe I was more nervous than my child because of past bad visits with other providers. I am happy with the knowledge shared with me and my child.
