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. Islas is a master mechanic and I say that with the highest regard. The human body is a biological machine and Dr. Islas knows how to fix it. I had an extreme inquinal hernia, to the point that an orange size amount of intestine would extrude into my scrotum and another plumb size extruded out of my body a little further up. I couldn't stand for more than 15 minutes without having to lay down and stuff everything back in to avoid strangulation and the burning and pain that it caused. With that came gastrointestinal problems and excessive gas pain. If that wasn't enough, it caused extreme urination urgency from pressing on my bladder. Dr. Islas intuitively perceived the cause of all these problems and consequently properly diagnosed that an arthroscopic would be insufficient. He determined that I needed an standard open surgery so that he could examine and fix my intestines if needed. I had the operation and every affliction was repaired, with little or no pain and swelling. I'm 71.

Dr. Islas has performed successful surgeries on me for over 15 years. Nice office and staff too. Needs better computerization though.

We used another surgeon in this group in January, 2017, but that surgeon has since retired. DO NOT ADVANCE ANY MONEY PRIOR TO SURGERY. We were required to pay $1500.00 before they would do the surgery, however, despite an insurance reimbursement and an explanation of benefits stating we owe only $96.00, we have not received any refund and it's now July. We have called multiple times requesting the refund without success and the administrator will not call back as promised. BEWARE!!
