Valenzuela Guillermo MD

So my daughter wakes up with an excruciating pain in her big toe. Could it be the first attack of gout? As a pediatrician, I felt that the specialty that deals with gout arthritis is rheumatology and I received a good recommendation about doctor Valenzuela. I called the office, spoke with the front desk and explained her predicament… Next available appointment is in August! Urgent care alternatives are lousy, not much of diagnostic expectations there. Really, 6 months for a new patient appointment? As a physician, I find that unacceptable. They did offer me an earlier appointment with his partner… Don’t get your hopes very high, it was for mid march.
We were able to get a same day appointment with a different rheumatologist in town.

I wish I could give zero stars! My appointment was for 12 pm. I signed in was not called. I finally got the attention of the receptionist and asked f I should fill out any paper work since I’m a new patient. She finally hands me some forms to fill out. Waited an hour with no communication as to what was going on. Asked about wait was told they would check. Asked again and was advised that there were 4 patients in front of me and that I should know that its a long wait every day for him. She seriously said that! If appointments take longer on a regular basis, basic logic dictates that you space out your appointments accordingly. Needless to say I am now in search of a new doctor. T

Ducked in to talk Rheumatology, Immunology, digital marketing, and digital infrastructure.
Dr Valenzuela’s state-​of-​the-​art practice is located in Plantation, Florida. I find the doctor to be a very engaging, interesting, intelligent, and charismatic man. He is obviously very popular with patients as his waiting room is always very busy.
He has a very George Hamilton type of air about him.
His staff and office run in a professional manner, and his Plantation office is centrally located right near Westside Regional and the Broward Mall. Lots of energy and activity going on here.
Plenty of parking and easy to get into his ground floor offices and exam rooms.
Dr. Valenzuela has an inclusive approach to his practice. The full name of his practice is I. R. I. S., which stands for Integral Rheumatology and Immunology Specialists and his facility covers all diagnostic and treatment needs of patients with rheumatoid conditions: Digital X-​Rays, Extremity MRI, Bone Densitometry, Ultrasound and Infusion Suite.
He has all the labs, exam rooms, and imaging equipment in-​house so patients don’t have to travel all over town and waste time assessing their health condition. His office continually contributes to the development of new treatments and protocols through the contribution in clinical studies. Nice!
I’m not a patient of Dr. Valenzuela’s, but I have spent many years working in the healthcare field, working in /​with doctors and hospitals. It is important to note that Dr. Valenzuela is the incoming president of the nationwide Rheumatology Association.
