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.

Great doctor!
Dr Pelayo has been my doctor for many years. He's very professional and caring for his patients. When I call the office I easily get an appointment, I have never waited more than 20 minutes to be seen. If I call with a question, he always calls back to answer.

Wait time is horrible!
I had my appointment at 10am on Saturday and I had to wait 90 minutes to get called! I was told that since I had not been at the office since 2018, they now required lab work for HIV and other nonsense to be done. I had my own Primary Care Physician do the lab work in the past and I found it useless to have to submit to new lab work for this visit. When I had been to this office in 2018, they did not require any lab work. Why now? This doctor's office looks for excuses to get extra money from patients and insurance companies. This office is not professional in the least. Don't waste your time and money in this place.

Horrible. Only interested in making money to bill the insurance. No courtesy fill provided until can be seen for next available appointment. All about making money. No care for the patient.

Im so disappointed with the lack of kindness of this office is unacceptable. I bought a coupon from groupon to do the rejuvenation plasma so I called to set up an appointment and the receptionist refused to proceed because I will be using my groupon discount. They want me to ask for my money back on groupon and obviously After this awful experience that's what I did. Now groupon is telling me that they will give me credit only to be expended at Pelayos. This its a RIPOFF!
