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.

Not so great with bedside manner especially with kids not alone parents who are already scared and worried! Quick and ready to move on to his next patient. Didn’t real give an opportunity to real discuss concerns or make us feel like we could stay longer to ask questions

Dr. Saenz was very straight forward, maybe not the best bedside manner when dealing with scared parents, but I appreciated understanding exactly what was happening, why, and the risks associated. He sent communications to us via a nurse during surgery to let us know it was going well. He checked on my daughter often while she was undergoing treatment in preparation of the surgery.

Dr Saenz saved my son's life when he was born with a diaphragmatic hernia. My son was on ECMO for ten days and recovered. Today he is 15 years old and gets good grades, has great music talent and is very healthy. I highly recommend Dr Nick Saenz!

It was the worst experience of our life's. Our child almost died due to lack of care and interest for the patient. Very disappointing that he would send our child home without any antibiotics and my child was rushed back to the E.R. with an infection after being sent home from an appendix surgery. Stay clear from this man, he does not care about his patience and has very bad bedside manners.
