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.

*Dr. Arenas and his staff are wonderful, and very respectful and caring.

I have always received outstanding care from Dr. Arenas and his staff. You'll be getting very compassionate care from an exceptionally skilled, and highly experienced cancer surgeon if you choose to see Dr. Arenas.
