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.

Great Doc!
Telehealth
Switched to Dr. Dacosta after having seen the other female doc in his office. He diagnosed me with Alpha Gal and I started feeling better within a couple weeks! After going around and around with the other doctor for a year I finally got answers after only one visit and a Endoscopy. His procedure nurses were fantastic and I left feeling like I knew what to do. I recommend to everyone!

EXCELLENT!!!
Great doctor, always listened to my concerns. Day of procedure was so nice and reassuring before I was put to sleep. My follow ups always went smooth, never left without concerns addressed. Not too bad to look at either.

Great doctor for my husband!
He has been exactly what my husband has needed. He tells him exactly what is going on and what will happen if he doesn't do as he tells him to do.

Great to hear! Thank you for the review!

$85 consultation but had to sign waiver stating the remainder of consultation fee would be billed later. Total was 250+ for thirty seconds I was in office. Was asked what reason for being seen was. As I go into tell him he cuts me off and says I would be a prime candidate for Endo and colon scope. Seriously in and out in less than 2min. After waiting an hour for consultation.

The office is overrun, with multiple conflicting appointments leading to long wait times. The receptionist left the office crying during one visit, can't make that stuff up. Had to wait between one and two hours to see the doctor after scheduled time. He barely looked at me and started prescribing diagnostic procedures that were later clearly determined to be unnecessary. In the end ended up mis-diagnosing me which became obvious when I switched doctors. Avoid like plague.

He never takes the time to explain anything. I know less about my problem after I seen him. He's a waste of time. You're better off to find another specialist that actually cares.
