About the studio

A small practice with a long attention span.

MD Diagnos has been reading lab work, second-opinion files and preventive screening panels for Colorado families since 2014. We answer our own phone.

Rosa Linda Armendariz

Founder & Clinical Lead

Rosa Linda grew up in a household where every prescription bottle was read out loud before it was opened. After a decade working in hospital labs in Denver and Albuquerque, she opened MD Diagnos in Monument with one rule: every patient leaves with something they can read.

She holds a Master of Science in Clinical Laboratory Sciences and has spent the last eleven years building a practice that prizes time over throughput. She reviews every report personally before it is sent.

Outside the studio she hikes the Palmer Lake Reservoir trails, restores mid-century radios, and quietly volunteers with the Tri-Lakes Cares food pantry.

Our values

Slow medicine, written down.

  • Patience over throughput

    We see fewer patients per week than most clinics. It shows in the reports.

  • Plain English

    If a sentence in your report requires a Google search, we rewrite it.

  • Portability

    Your records belong to you. We send them anywhere, in any format.

  • No upsells

    We don't sell supplements, devices or memberships. One flat fee per engagement.
