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. Penaflor has been our primary care for over 10 years. His referrals and connections are excellent and he listens to you, asks the right questions and knows our history. He NEVER overbooks so you rarely wait more than 5-10 minutes once you arrive for the appt. The PA's that work with him are very helpful as well and typically easy to get an appointments with. Excellent practice all around.

Dr. P. took great care of me for the last 12 years, but I was forced to leave his practice after moving to Oregon. I found him to be a fabulous doctor. Meetings were very detailed and never rushed. Fantastic bedside manner and very caring. Explained my lab results in great detail. I will miss his care greatly, and wish I could have taken him and his staff with me when I moved. Thank you doctor for everything that you did for me over the years.

Dr. Penaflor is compassionate and accessible. I initially came to this practice because a physician friend went there for his healthcare and I'm so glad Dr. Penaflor was the doctor I was assigned to.
