Hola soy Luisa Castillejo S. Vivo en Barranquilla soy sobreviviente de un infarto cerebral ACV, estuve en UCI casi dos meses y casi el mismo tiempo entubada por esta razón mi tráquea se afectó muchísimo tuve muchas fístulas y hoy tengo un stend en la tráquea, tengo paralizada una cuerda vocal en conclusión me alimento por sonda. Mi estado es muy delicado, hace unos meses no podía ni tragar mi propia saliva,hoy en día ya puedo. La doctora Valentina me está atendiendo desde Diciembre del 2016 y he mejorado ya no broncoaspiro tanto por lo tanto las infecciones respiratorias han desaparecido. La Dra Valentina es una excelente profesional, siempre está en búsqueda de una solución para mi caso, además está muy preparada, es la única especialista en deglución con la que contamos en Barranquilla. Gracias Valentina por tu paciencia y tú interés en mi pronta recuperación.
Excelente profesional, muy buen manejo de su especialidad, recomendada!
