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.

I have him as my regular doctor for 15 years, he is great,

Dr Acosta is a very compassionate and thorough doctor. He follows up on any and all complaints doing whatever testing is necessary. He really enjoys talking with his patients. The entire office staff is also great. Wait time is minimal, usually less than 10 minutes.

Whirls in, and Whirls out. Dr. Acosta may as well be a drive-thru office. He spends very little time with patients, and has a condescending manner. Arrogance is not a preferable bedside trait. His staff is fine, but he needs to actually look a patient in the face, instead of staring into his laptop. Would I recommend him? Only if you want to undergo every possible test within his network of I'll scratch your back, and you scratch mine.
