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.

Terrific doctor, very meticolose!
Our 2 months old daughter was admitted to CHOC with high fever 103-104. Virus, bacteria and meningitis tests were negative. Finally doctors asked Dr. Arietta opinion and after observing our daughter for few minutes he suspected that the swallowing on her feet was caused by Kawasaki disease , rare disease that can cause aneurisms. The therapy that he prescribed was very effective and the fever went down right away. Hopefully our daughter will not develop aneurisms in the next week. Thank you doctor Arietta for been so attentive and taking care of our little girl!!

Not going back!
Dr. Arrieta lacked warmth and approachability, making it difficult to communicate with him. He hastily diagnosed my child with an illness without conducting any blood tests. Adding to the frustration, he also assigned the same diagnosis to my other child who accompanied us to see Dr Arrieta, without proper examination. How bizzare is that! The distressing part was leaving his office with a bleak prognosis, only to discover later that his 'observed diagnosis' was incorrect. I urge others to seek a doctor who exercises patience, listens attentively, and waits for test results before drawing conclusions.
