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 Anciano Granadillo was highly recommended to us and we found him to be outstanding and worth the wait. His bedside manner, explanations, and suggestions were excellent. The entire team appeared superior, amazing, caring, and quick to respond. Everyone, even to anesthesiologist, could not have been more caring and friendly. I was allowed to go home the next day and had very little discomfort after the first night. The post surgery and follow up has been excellent and I could not recommend Dr Carlos Anciano's entire team more highly.

doctor Anciano YOU SEE MY FACE You see my face, but that’s not me for deep down inside the pain I live with every day is gradually killing me. I’m constantly in and out of the ER trying to get someone to listen to me. I cry and cry for the pain torments my body every hour of everyday. I explain so many times how my body hurts and aches all over. They see my lips moving, but they don’t hear. For deep down inside I don’t think they really care. They will run test after test and sometimes even admit me in the hospital, but the end results are always the same. They will look at me and tell me that every test came back ok. I really just want to tune them out and not hear anything they have to say. I get the same results in the ER or the hospital. No ones really listening to me because I feel like if they were, they would find out what is wrong with me. I’ve been living with this hurt and pain for decades, and as the days pass, the aches and pains only progress. Over the past twenty years I’ve been in and out of the hospital so many times. I’ve seen so many doctors and have had so many different test run. My quality of life oh wait, what is that? My quality of life has consisted of aches and pains, and for years I have not participated in doing a lot of things. Your mind usually tells your body what it’s going to do, but for years, my body has been telling me what it’s not going to do. I have cried a many a tear and have prayed to the good Lord above a many a prayer. My sickness has not just affected me it has affected my entire family. Seeing me in and out of the hospital, so many times and feeling so helpless to be able to do anything. I know it is not meant for me to understand why I had to be the one to be stricken and tormented with so much pain. I put my faith hope and trust in God and I know everything is done on God‘s time. Well, on July 17, 2024 God said to me my child your time has come and you shall hurt no more for I am sending to you someone that will not just see your lips moving, but someone that will truly hear you and see the pain that you are in. God sent me a miracle and his name was Dr, Carlos Anciana. By looking at me and all of the many test from years back Dr Anciana knew exactly what was wrong with me, and right away he preformed emergency surgery on me. By the grace of God, Dr Anciana and my family praying I came through the surgery. I am tired and my body still hurts, but it is a different kind of hurt. My body now hurts from the surgery but even that hurt does not compare to the hurt that my body has endured for over 20 plus years. Dr. Aciano was not just My Doctor. He was my miracle angel that God sent to me. Thank you,Dear Lord Jesus and Dr Miracle Angel

I did not see doctor during this visit because he had emergencies. Spoke on telephone. But in general Doctor Anciano is one of the best doctors that I met in my life and will continue seeing him even if it might wait longer sometimes.
