About Jose A. Pelayo, MD

My love for medicine was born during high school, when I first experienced technical training in a clinical medical laboratory. My goal is to offer patients the best evidence-based medical care possible. I will listen to their concerns and involve them in care decisions, which has always been my medical philosophy. In my spare time, I enjoy running and traveling.

Dr. Pelayo has been my primary doctor for over 20 years. Reason why is because although he has many patients, he remembers you, always has a smile, and listens to your concerns. Bravo Dr. Pelayo, thank you for everything always!
