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.

Not just managed, controlled!
For 12 years my daughters asthma was barely managed before she received a referral after I refused to up her dosage of Advair to the highest dose. From start to finish Dr. Urrego was amazing. Within weeks of seeing him we started to notice more controlled asthma. She went from taking 4-5 different maintenance meds to 2 and rarely ever had to use her rescue inhaler. He was wonderful with her and explained everything he was wanting us to do and why.

Dr Urrego is phenomenal. Goes above and beyond for Dariana. Nurses and all other office staff is phenomenal. Can’t say enough of them.

Extremely poor attitude if the patients parent does not comply with medical treatment, because of additional concerns that were not clear, Dr. Urrego was not willing to provide additional education, or clear up misconceptions, and he is not the patients advocate at all!

Dr. Urrego is a fantastic pulmonologist and I highly recommend him. The level of care my children have received from him is extraordinary. My children have serious breathing issues that is finally well controlled and we can now sleep soundly at night. I cannot thank him enough.
