Meet Dr. Alejandro "Alex" de la Torre

Dr Alejandro de la Torre was born and grew up in Albuquerque, New Mexico. From an early age, he knew that he wanted to be a physician. During his medical school education in Chicago, he found a strong desire to pursue a career in Pediatrics, which was inspired by his joy of working with children and by a family history of many family members who were Pediatricians in both the United States and in Bolivia. During his residency, he was exposed to both general and subspecialty Pediatrics. Due to a strong interest in growth, development, and diabetes, Dr de la Torre pursued and completed a fellowship in Pediatric Endocrinology at UT Southwestern Medical Center.

Following his fellowship, Dr de la Torre practiced Pediatric Endocrinology in New Mexico for two years, gaining experience working with different populations with endocrine disorders and diabetes. Wanting to return to Texas, he joined Cook Children's to continue his career as a Pediatric Endocrinologist. Along with seeing patients with general endocrine disorders and diabetes, Dr de la Torre is involved with seeing patients in the REACH (lipid) clinic and takes part in a special clinic to care for children and adolescents with Type 2 diabetes.

    Dr. De La Torre is AWESOME! I would definitely refer others to him! He took time to answer all of my questions, which were many without making me feel rushed. He was concerned about [...] pain. He said that he would call to check on him. I figured someone from his office would call, but much to my surprise he called himself just like he said that he would! Showed much compassion and concern for [...] and I'm so grateful.
