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.

Doctor Arcovedo is one of the best surgeons in Chula vista. He schedules surgeries within 1-2 weeks and the staff is very helpful and friendly.

I came in because I was very concerned about my breast. He is the 5th Doctor I saw about my breast. All my symptoms are of a rare breast cancer. He came in and in less than a minute told me it’s nothing! I was very upset, it just felt like he didn’t care and I felt like he was rushing.

I'm going to let you threaten me and steal from me because you're a doctor? LaSalle Medical School is one of the worst medical schools in the world. Going to medical school in Mexico or the Caribbean is a work-around for people who can't earn their way into American Medical Schools.

This doctor lied to me about the price of my 5-minute procedure and threatened me for twice as much money as the price he told me the procedure would cost. Rodolfo asks his patients what they do for a living, so he knows patients are losing money by missing work to fight-off these threats.

I had a small bump in my forearm. I asked Dr Arcovedo how much he would charge to remove it. He told me "$315.00" I accepted After the 10 min surgery Dr A recommended I return for a follow up visit The follow up visit only exists because of the surgery. Yet the cost, $200 is never disclosed, not with the quote, not when you arrive. They keep the fee a secret, extend you a loan, and send you a bill which doubles the quoted price He only backed down after receiving a summons &complaint in mail

I have had two surgeries with Dr. Arcovedo, tumor removal of colon (part of colon removed and resectioning) and a hernia operation. Both went very well. In my opinion he is a very good surgeon. His staff is courteous, his office clean and comfortable.
