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.

Houdini Dr
My son was going to Pineda for 10 years. All of a sudden I can’t get in touch with her for appointments for him when he’s sick. She closed down her office and never notified her patients. It took me 2 years to find her and now I can’t even get my son’s medical records.

So the Doc decides to go on vacation and leave no coverage during the duration of her trip. At least that's what I was originally told. The office manager at the Brick office Louis was so disrespectful and condescending instead of helping he just hung up the phone on me twice. All I was asking for was an emergency refill but he is a loud mouth. I called the Lacey office and they were able to help me right away. So if supposedly this is the same doctor why couldn't the Brick office help me and instead decided to be so unaccommodating?. I'm going to move all my records to the Lacey office even if it's far for me.

I was once a student of Dr. Pineda. She gives non- insured patients a big discount, she has a good heart. She listens to her patients and is very approachable. She has over 20 years of experience. Her treatment approach is patient- centered. Some physicians will push their own intervention, can be conservative or aggressive with her treatment approach depending on the patient's wishes. To me, an excellent physician is one that is knowledgable, experienced, compassionate... that is what she is.
