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.

She was great. Spent a significant amount of time with us discussing the issue, reviewing test results, coming up with a plan for the future, and follow up.

Highly recomended
My daughter has been in the care of Dr. Chavez since she was pretty much born with lots of pulmonary issues. She is vent dependent with a tracheostomy. Our family is so happy that she gives the very best care to our little girl… and if their is any question mom or I have her team are very knowledgeable, compassionate and may I just say one of the best in Spokane in my opinion! They also will always answer any questions or concerns you have in a fast timely matter. Thanks for all their hard work you guys all are awesome.

Lost faith in care level from the doctor. Sucks because I like her as a nice person, but that's as far as it goes. Hope the doctor can do better if something more serious arises because I'm pretty afraid she will not give her best to fix issues.
