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 Rios is a very caring dr. He explains things so you can understand the. He never rushes your appointment. I have been with Dr Rios for 41 years and I would not change

I have been a patient of Dr. Rios for several years now and he is by far the best Dr. I have ever encountered. I have a multitude of health issues going on and Dr. Rios has spent many hours with me trying to solve the mystery. He is a very is an extremely knowledgeable and compassionate Dr which I feel is a rarity these days. I moved to Arizona several months ago and I drive back to SoCal just to do my follow ups and I think that speaks volumes.
