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.

The worst disposition of any doctor i’ve met
His terrible office staff did not give me correct pre-op instructions. He tried to get me to sign waivers so he could proceed. He tried to get me to take the blame. Very accusatory and extremely disrespectful. I got so angry i told nurses to pull out the IV, disconnect me because “I don’t trust him.” I had some choice words for him as I was being disconnected. Never ever!

Never again
He let brand new residents be my only contact point, didn’t care about my concerns or issues during hospital stay, and then made me wait an hour and 45 minutes past the recheck appointment time that I was early for. I still have no idea how the surgery actually went.

Dr Aguila is an amazing doctor/surgeon. He did critical surgeries on both my mother and my cousin whom were both, very critical. He has a special concern and he respects his patients and their families. I cannot say enough good about him as a professional and/ or as a man . Kind and caring. I highly recommend his practice and that’s a lot coming from me !
