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.
Highly recommend.Dr Otero.

Dr Otero was truly genuine about my concerns. He wasn’t rushed about getting me out the door. It was like talking to one of my family members. Would not go to a different physician.

First time Dr. Otero performed a colonoscopy on me. His staff was great, and the process was as easy as I had hoped for on my colonoscopy. I was very happy with him and he explained things to me clearly as could be. The nurses that attended me were very professional and kind. I was very happy with him and his team.
Thank you Dr Otero!
