Ben Buentipo, B.S., RDMS

“I have 18 years of experience in high-risk obstetrical sonography and have performed over 30,000 ultrasound scans in my career. As the co-owner and clinical director of BB Imaging & Healthcare Consulting, I oversee more than 8,000 scans a year while my company serves more than 40 providers. None of this would have been possible without my educational foundation at El Centro. 

“When I attended the program, I knew that I wanted to be in health care but could not have imagined the impact I would be able to have in communities that are typically underserved by ultrasound. The knowledge and expertise that my company possesses in data analysis, process improvements and systems implementations, combined with our passion to provide high-quality service to all socioeconomic groups, have resulted in setting up hospital departments and outreach clinics with one of the biggest national health care organizations. 

“The Society of Diagnostic Medical Sonographers has awarded my passion for research, learning, and teaching to serve as a model for recognition of clinical excellence and standards of excellence in ultrasound specialties by designating me as an Advanced Practice Sonographer in 2013. I continue to take the learning I obtained while at Dallas College and share it with new students entering the field, and I am hopeful that I will be able to continue to impact the health care community at large.”

“When a patient who is in pain, upset or nervous tells you that you made them feel better or just simply tells you 'thank you' with a smile, it makes your hard work worth it. That is the reason I am in this field, and that is what will keep me in it forever.”

“My experience at El Centro was wonderful. The program included online classes plus clinicals three or four days a week. We had the flexibility to do our homework at our own convenience, either doing a little every night or doing it all over the weekend, whatever worked best for us.”
