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.

Kindness matters
It’s rare to visit a doctor’s office today where you feel heard and are treated with kindness and compassion. Dr. Pacheco actually goes beyond to make sure you understand what she’s explaining to you. I appreciate that so much. I feel so lucky to have such a talented group of female doctors surrounding me. So happy to add such another beautiful soul to that list. Thank you.

Great First Visit Experience!
Don't know how my first visit to Dr. Pacheco's office could have been any better. Her staff was very personable, friendly, and did their jobs with a smile on their face. Dr. Pacheco was also very personable and professional. Her explanations were to the point and also very understandable. All in all, it was what all Doctor's visits should aspire to be.

Very likely!
Dr Pacheco was very personable and professional. She explained how she was going to treat my ingrown toenail and then went over how I was to use the medicine for the next 14 days. She asked me to return for her to see it in 2 weeks. I was very pleased with my new doctor.
