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.

Dr. Medrano has cared for me for 10+ years. He has seen me through the birth of my two children. He is very thorough and caring. Dr. Medrano is like a family member how many doctors give that impression? I see reviews that complain of his visits taking too long which seems odd normal people complain of their doctors not spending enough time. I guess you can't make soon people happy either way. I'm very grateful to Dr. Medrano Thank you,

Dr. Medrano has been my mom's doctor for years! He delivered my brother 34 years ago. I have been going to him for several years as well. He is kind and caring, listens to all your needs and concerns. You never feel rushed and he is very knowledgeable.

Dr. Medrano and his staff make me feel special, and I have never felt uncomfortable or embarrassed about discussing a health issue with them. Dr. Medrano is very smart and he has been able to diagnose and help me on the first visit for things I have been seen for on multiple visits at other practices. I totally trust his diagnoses and would highly recommend him to anyone.
