Cristian Vallejos, MD
About Me
I derive great pleasure from practicing medicine. Doctors are afforded a great privilege and responsibility by their patients to help shape the human condition and this motivates my everyday practice. My training is specialized in gastroenterology with a particular interest in liver disease and my approach is rooted in the modern day practice of evidence based medicine along with the traditional belief that doctoring begins with the relationships you create with your patient.
Dr. Vallejos graduated from the University of California and later completed his residency at the Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas. He finished his fellowship at the Scripps Clinic in San Diego, California. Dr. Vallejos brings The Oregon Clinic Gastroenterology West several honors and awards including the Hispanic Center of Excellence Scholarship, the Scripps Clinic-Outstanding Clinical Fellow of the Year, and the Wyeth-Ayerst Grant for Fellow Participation. He is board-certified in Gastroenterology and Internal Medicine.
