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 seen Dr. Elva for the first 6 months of my pregnancy. In that time she has not asked 1 question about me personally. Consistently she prescribes tests with no explanation and has never personally gone through test results with me. She always has a nurse call with results and instructions and it takes multiple attempts to reach her. Even after going to the hospital with bleeding I had to call her office twice before she would actually speak to me. She seems like a doctor who sees many patients but doesn’t actually care about them personally. Her bedside manner is questionable at best which has caused me to look for another doctor at 6 months pregnant. I would not recommend her to friends or family.

I am post menopausal. I have had quite a few problems with menopause, and continued hot flashes. She has really tried to work with me in solving these problems. I do know I need to do a lot of research myself, as she is very busy with pregnancies. She offered me medications to do not involve hormone replacement therapy, which I preferred. I do wish they were more gynecologist dealing with senior women’s problems, however she is quite good at working with older women.

I actually love Dr Lopez. She was very open when it came to answering questions or addressing concerns. I was a late add on to their office and they took care of me as if I had been a patient since day 1. The office staff is very friendly and helpful. Glad I stumbled across their number when searching for a last minute OB.

The Office staff aren't very professional, had issues with getting medication sent to Pharmacy with correct information, don't know how to call people back, ended up having to follow up with them when they stated they would follow up with me. Ended up leaving wallet for a few minutes and everything was stolen. Office staff team are just rude if you make them work I'm sorry, do their job. Transfer without a call letting me know anything. Had to follow up with them to find out why. WOULDNT Go Here

Overcrowded office. 90% pregnant teens. She refused to complete a pelvic at my annual exam, just did the usual pap smear, breast exam. She wanted me to have an ultrasound for the pelvic, which was another $200 charge in her office, because she said I was too tense....really? No other Dr. has ever made such a statement. Very poor bedside manner.
