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 appreciate Dr. Covarrubias!
Dr. Covarrubias has been my doctor for a little over two years. I truly appreciate all of her skills and expertise. The number one thing I like the most is that I have never felt I was rushed through an appointment. Dr. Covarrubias takes her time to ask questions and work with me at coming up with a solution. I will without any hesitation recommend Dr. Covarrubias to anyone asking.

I saw the doctor for pain. She prescribed an ultrasound which I got right away. The ultrasound showed I needed further testing and I was referred to an oncologist. I couldn't get the testing approved, because the doctor's office failed to send the ultrasound and blood test results to the radiologists. I'm sitting here, terrified my cancer has returned and I can't even get the imaging I need. Really disappointed in the quality of care.
