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.

Wonderful Care!!!
Dr. Flores reconstructed my ACL and repaired my Meniscus.I have Type 1 Diabetes and have had a little trouble controlling my blood sugar while dealing with the pain. Dr. Flores took his time and worked with my parents and my Amazing endocrinologist Dr. Varma. Dr. Flores did a wonderful job not only on my knee but also dealing with the extra challenge of my blood sugar while I was in surgery.The after care has been incredible. Oh and he was so sweet and patient with my over protective parents. I was pretty scared. He and his staff made me feel safe and a absolute priority.

Incredibly long wait times. Caused us to miss other appointments. Front office staff rude when asked about the long wait times. Took months to get him to listen to my mother about her shoulder. Overall not recommended.

This physician seems incapable of working with elderly patients. He was rude, insensitive, and made no attempt to follow-up. He stood in the doorway and yelled when we asked a question about our mother's condition. There was no reason for his lack of kindness and compassion.
