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.

Our baby girl was born with an undiagnosed heart defect due to DS. Dr. Gutierrez read her EKG while on his way back from vacation. He was able to tell us immediately that she’d need OHS to repair it, but that she was doing well enough to go home. We have seen him for multiple appointments before & after her OHS. I am so thankful to have such a great pediatric cardiologist so close to home.

My 17-year-old daughter was experiencing chest pains and heart palpitations so we took her to Dr. Gutierrez. The staff was rude the entire time we were there. Our daughter just quit almost all her school sports a few months prior due to her chest pains and covid concerns and ended up gaining some weight. Dr. Gutierrez pointed out her weight gain multiple times throughout the appointment for no reason other than to bring it up. And once he concluded that our daughter's murmur was not to blame, he said she probably needed to cut back on the junk food and sent us to billing. We will not be going back.

If I could give no stars I would, their customer service is the absolute worst, office staff is terrible from the receptionist to the checkout and the billing department is even worse. Not to mention the patient is my baby that was ONE month old at the time and I was scared to death. The Clinical department including doctor was great but due to the nightmare with the billing department we will be looking for new physician for my now 1 year old. I had to fight and fight with them to get my refund back for being over charged $492.00 because our insurance covers minor diagnostics procedures (an ultrasound) for minor children at 100%. Finally got my refund and they contact me 1 year later stating that I need to give them that money back because something with the claim was rejected.

My son has been a patient of Dr. Gutierrez for many years and he feels very comfortable seeing him. Dr. Gutierrez is professional, polite, very knowledgeable, and thorough. Also his staff is patient and caring. Dr. Gutierrez always ask questions, and gives the best medical advice you would need. He explains his findings, and gives his conclusions to follow up with. He's never in a hurry and he takes his time giving you an examination. We appreciate and respect Dr. Gutierrez for all that he does. I am blessed to have him as my son's cardiologist. Thank you Dr. Gutierrez.

Dr. Gutierrez and his entire staff are courteous, professional and thorough. If we need to go in to see him in between follow-up appointments, we are scheduled promptly. He listens to all of our concerns, asks questions, and takes appropriate actions. He is straightforward when explaining everything to us and makes sure we understand. We never feel rushed. My son has been seeing him for about 4 years now. He has provided him with excellent care. I am so grateful to have him as my son's cardiologist. We appreciate you Dr. Gutierrez. Thank you for all that you do!

Dr Gutierrez was wonderful with our newborn. He was extremely fast in his response to our pediatrician’s request for evaluation and our post-hospital follow up was almost immediate. He was kind, thoughtful, extremely knowledgeable and took his time explaining things to us and showing us images. He was careful to make sure all of our questions were answered. We were never rushed. His staff was kind and accommodating. We feel so lucky to be under his care.

Horrible staff. My son needed oral surgery in March and need a release for the anesthesia. I called the office and was told that he had to have an appointment before we could receive a release. The next appointment wasn't until May. No ifs, ands or buts, they could not even slip him in for a release so that he could get the surgery. I asked to speak to Dr. Gutierrez, but was told that he will not speak to patients or their families. D-

Very conscientious doctor. Always puts patients first! He has taken care of my doctor since birth. He is very conservative and will guide families in what is in the best interest of their child when it comes to matters of the heart.
