Dr. Tony Amador

Compassionate, Caring, Brilliant, Funny, Sincere, Humble, Outstanding, Dedicated, Awesome, and DOWN TO EARTH!!!

Those are just some of the words that come to mind when I think of
Dr. Amador…

There are so many things that we at PAMPA will miss about Dr. Amador… Here are just a few of those things we will miss:

1. The look on his face when he comes in to start his day and we say “Dr. Amador, you’re at the wrong office!”
2. When the light flashes that he’s in a room, we get to the room, and there’s no Dr. Amador and no patient. Of course when we finally find him, he’s somewhere telling a joke or a story…
3. We’ll miss seeing Dr. Amador in the sample closet, looking for something to give his patients, and leaving the doors open…
4. When the chart is missing, and we have searched days for it, someone will say “Check with Dr. Amador, I betcha he’s got it in his car or at home”…
5. What I will personally miss about Dr. Amador, is bringing him Cheetos, and him saying “Man I can’t eat those they are bad for ya”… He would take the bag to his office, and by the end of the day the Cheetos would be gone…

Dr. Amador was a wonderful person who dedicated his life to taking care of others, and has done so many great things. He touched the lives of so many people. I was proud to not only call him my boss, but also my friend. He will never be forgotten, and will be truly MISSED!!!
