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.

Cardenas Evelyn MD
My husband was admitted to the ER, she started treatment without consulting me and she also had no communication with me. I advised her and the head charge nurse I was his medical proxy as he was unresponsive but she ignored me as did the head charge nurse. They did not care about their level of care but just moved on and did what they wanted. They did not help him use the bathroom for two days and failed to provide updates or calls back or even basic care necessities. When asked if she would speak with our private practice Doctor she refused.

Saddness of care – Jun 16, 2022
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Cardenas?
Only saw her in the ER. She was quite rude and obviously couldn’t be bothered with my horrendous, could barely breathe without crying, “back pain”. She diagnosed it without waiting for the results of my blood work and labs. I waited 5 hrs until I could get some pain relief and then they discharged me 5 min later. Not how you expect to be treated in the ER.
