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.

Excellent surgeon!!
July 2022 I had double nephrectomy with kidney transplant by Dr Prieto. All my appointments, surgery and after care we’re never rushed and he answered all my questions every time (I had a lot). Dr Prieto did an excellent job on my surgery. I would do it all over again if I had too. 5 stars all the way!!

I can not comprehend how ANYONE would not give this man a 10 star rating , if available. This man is a pioneer with the expertise of kidney transplant, double nephrectomy by laparoscopic AT time of transplant. 1 surgery and that is it. He truly is amazing. He is such a pleasant man, so easy to speak with, a very humble man but most of all he truly cares about you, the patient. Lastly, he works for the #1 medical facility in the world. Mayo!

phenomenal!!!!!! excellent manner, made me feel at ease with complete trust, on top of everything. I had bilateral nephrectomy, hernia repair, kidney implant and intestinal blockage in 2016, having never been to Mayo Clinic before I had no idea who would be performing these surgeries. I could not have asked for a better surgeon, caregiver and friend!!!!! Worth his weight in GOLD!!!
