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.

Compassionate doctor.
Went out of his way to accommodate my specific needs and treat me after being very ill from a misdiagnosis from another doctor. He sent me to the specialist I needed. He listened and didn’t talk at me but with me. Love this doctor

Never seen after over 2 hours of waiting with an appointment- staff seemed like this should be expected. I am just floored. This was my first visit. I understand there can be a wait for care, but this was unacceptable.

Dr. Chavez is a very kind and considerate doctor. When others could not find out what was wrong with my cramping, he knew right away. I wish I did not have to leave him. But new insurance is making me. I always tell my friends to go to Dr. Chavez. The best doctor I have ever had in 60 years. Kz
