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.

Lucky to have found him
I have been Dr. Almeida's patient since 2021. As a 76-year old retired RN, I have had many physician encounters as a patient and nurse. Dr. Almeida stands out as one of the best. He is knowledgeable, thorough, efficient, and attentive to my concerns. I feel protected by him and confident that I could turn to him with questions and concerns about my health. I am grateful that he is my primary care doc.

Best Doc EVER!!!
I initially hired Dr Almeida when my MIL, who had Alzheimer's, BiPolar, and other issues, moved in with us. He was so amazing with her! I decided recently to fire my PCP and Dr. Almeida immediately came to mind as the doc I wanted! He listens to his patients; he takes notes and fully explains everything. Unlike a lot of doctors he doesn't make you feel like you're annoying him when you ask questions. He is always smiling and understanding and I just love him!

Love my doc - he is very patient focused!
Saw Dr. Almedia for acute back pain (follow-up). I am very happy w my primary care doc! He always listens very well, has a good sense of humor, is honest & realistic, and sympathetic at the same time!! Have had many docs because of heart & arthritis issues, he is the best I've had. He clearly has his own informed opinions, and clearly wants the best for his patient - he is very patient focused - highly recommend! His go to phrase is "fair enough" and he is!

Best consult my wife had during her hospital stay
My wife is in Mary Immaculate and doctor Almeida did his rounds this Saturday. He was very kind, understanding and was being very forthcoming with as much information as he had. He asked questions and my wife said she felt he was really listening to her. She was very happy with doctor Almeida.

Dr. Almeida is attentive, understanding & very caring. He takes time with his patients, explaining/answering medical issues/questions in detail. He has always gone above and beyond for me, scheduling visits. I’ve never been put on a waiting list or had to wait more than 1 day to see him. His staff are equally attentive & caring! Highly recommend Dr. Almeida.

Dr Almeida was amazing. My mom referred him to me so I wasn’t initially sure if he saw people my age (I’m in my 30s), but he was great. Very thorough, took all my concerns seriously, and reassured me by answering all my questions. He has great bedside manners. He’s also very knowledgeable and made me feel like I was receiving quality care.

He will sit and listen to your concerns. He will work with you and let you help craft your own care but always keep on top of your ongoing condition with constant contact if need be and ongoing testing and necessary lab work.
