My sympathies go out to manny and roddy he will be missed I loved to see his landscaping around his home when I would go by. He removed my appendix when I was 24 years old and never had an issue. He was one of the best doctors in the area he is with the Lord now playing his guitar and singing praises

Our family's condolences to your family. Dr. Vallejo took care of several of our family members. He was warm, kind and giving. He served as a model to my husband, a physician who came from Spain and passed all of his boards to practice in this country. The doctor was deeply appreciated by all of us.We fondly remember him.
