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.

Stay Away, A horror story. Several years ago, Dr. Yeguez removed my gallbladder. In two days I was back in emergency, feeling I was having a gallbladder attack. Back into surgery to install a stent. At my follow-up, I showed him a bump on my abdomen, and asked him if it was a hernia. He said it was scar tissue. Well, the 'scar tissue' became a huge hernia. When I went back to have the hernia repaired, he punctured my abdomen, and upon moving me to recovery, I was hemorrhaging. Back into surgery for two hours, ICU for two days, and 5 more days in the hospital. I developed two huge hernias, and many medical digestive issues, leaving me feeling sick if I eat the wrong thing. He left me with medical problems, not to mention a huge abdomen due to the hernias. I now have scarring on my small intestines caused by the bad surgeries., which led to a blockage. I had to visit the ER, and fortunately the blockage cleared and I was able to be released. It may happen again.

Very good visit. Waited about 15-20 minutes in the waiting room. Everyone is very professional in the office. He takes his time to review your situation and what and why he would recommend what he recommends doing for it. Also he explains why he would not use other techniques to correct the situation. Very knowledgeable. Patient to questions. Gathers all the facts.

It has been a year since my emergency surgery and I should have written this months ago. Aside from being an accomplished surgeon he is also warm and caring. From the moment we met I knew I was in good hands. His attention and post surgery follow up was amazing. What a special man. Definitely 5 stars.

My first meeting with Dr. Yeguez was impressive. His attention to detail and his insistence for a procedure to be done before my surgery was lauded as absolutely necessary and a very wise treatment. The procedure was successful and then the Hernia surgery was also successful. On a scale of 1 to 5, I give Dr. Yeguez 7 STARS !!!!!!

Dr. Yeguez is the first doctor to show that he is truly committed to finding the source of my cellulitis. I would recommend him for anything and if he can't find the culprit he will find someone who does. He's a remarkable doctor.
