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.

An Excellent Physician!

Excellent Doctor - Highly Recommended
I have been a patient of Dr. Chuapoco for almost 2 years and she is kind, smart and excellent at what she does. She takes the time to order any necessary tests to get to the bottom of things until she finds a diagnosis. I highly recommend Dr. Chuapoco.

She is a great doctor!
I have been dealing with constipation for almost a year. The previous specialist I saw for months just put me on medication so that he could perform a colonoscopy, but all 3 attempts failed because my colon couldn’t be cleared. This treatment actually made me worse, as he prescribed high-dose daily lactulose to help me pass stool. I was in a miserable state when I met Dr. Garcia-Chuapoco, who took a different approach. She ran tests to understand the root cause of my constipation and bloating. Based on the test results, she created a tailored treatment plan for me and also advised me on how to modify my diet. I feel very fortunate to have met her and her team, who have been incredibly helpful in coordinating my treatment and ensuring everything goes smoothly.
