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 was a patient of Dr. Duarte for years but I never seen her, I always seen her nurse practitioners. They were always nice and helpful. Once the nurse practitioners left the practice, I needed to see Irene Duarte and she was unavailable and did not even want to schedule me an appointment. The lack of care was astounding. I changed practices and doctors to someone who could take the time for my medical needs.

Dr. Duarte had "treated" my mother years ago, and she was the worst. Horrible bedside manner, wouldn't listen to concerns, prescribed drugs that caused my mother to go to the hospital, and expressed no concern when learning about that. Seriously, the worst physician. I wouldn't recommend her to my worst enemy. if I could give no stars, I would.

I love Dr Duarte ! I have been with her since I had my daughter and that was 16 1/2 years ago. She is very personable ; she really listens and cares about her patients. I recommend her without any reservations.
