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 was very thorough with explaining the condition and the management of the condition. Also explaining the need of a referral to neurosurgery to go along with the management of condition, not necessarily saying that patient is going to have surgery but the need to bring the team on the loop for total management.

Todays visit was quick and thorough. Dr del torre is always attentive and never makes us feel rushed. He answers all our questions and goes into great detail of any changes to my son's treatment plan. He's a wonderful doctor and we're sad that we will be transitioning out of the clinic to adult services. I'm very thankful for all the staff and nurses that took care of my son these past few years.
