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.

I have to say Dr. Arellano was very easy to work with and is a true professional at what he does.
First, my preliminary office visit was very quick and thorough. He set me up for surgery right away as he saw I was in great pain.
The surgery was a success and I am starting to heal better and quickly.
I would definitely recommend him to any family member or friends.

Dr. Arellano is one of the finest surgeons I have known. He is gifted with a vast knowledge-base, compassion, empathy and understanding. He performed an intricate surgical procedure on me almost three years ago and he literally saved my life. Kudos to him and to his staff for continued 5-star service.
