Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr. Candela is quick, detailed, explains and breaks down all the pro and cons. He’s great.

Rude, Defensive, and Unhelpful
Dr. Candela was incredibly rude. Any time I asked a question to better understand what he was saying he would get extremely defensive. At about the ten minute mark he cut me off mid sentence and said these appts are only for ten minutes and we were already well beyond that and that he can't help me with anything else. Then abruptly got up and left. Would not recommend.

Not enough time
This was my third time seeing Dr. Candela and although I like his way of explaining things, I don’t like the fact he rushes through the visits. The wait time between the front and waiting in the room is a while to then see him for what seems like five minutes.

Dr Candela is kind, thorough, not alarming and takes the time to explain the issue, listens and responds to your questions. His ability to put you at ease is appreciated. I never feel rushed and feel confident after the appointment that he’s available should I have an issue at any time.
