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 Doctor..

Good doctor but horrible team. The office personnel left for lunch and did not notify Dr. Ornelas that I was still in the waiting room. 95 minutes after I arrived, I decided to poke my head in and another lady in the back saw me, did not offer any apologies and just said she did not know I was there. Dr. Ornelas then spent a total of 3 minutes with me before sending me on my ways. Not sure if I will return to this practice again.
