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.

Saw Dr. Alfaro-Franco in the ER. Dr. Alfaro-Franco has wonderful bedside manner, extremely informative and easy to understand. Her caring way made my father feel confident that she cared for his best medical and personal interest!

I wouldn't recommend this doctor. MY daughter, kelly, was operated on by dr. ALfaro-franco. She put a Stent in her renal artery. SHE misdiagnosed my daughter. THE Stent has since fractured ND now Kelly has another Stent inside this stent. Someday she will need bypass surgery because of what dr. ALfaro-franco did. Kelly is now a patient of cleveland and clinic and is doing great. So dr. ALfaro-franco of you don't understand what is wrong with a patient please consult with another doctor!!!

The best doctor I've had the privilege to work with and be treated by. I wish all doctors were like her. She looks at the bigger picture, is kind, compassionate, and amazingly smart.
