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.

Very compassionate, intelligent neurologist
Dr. Delgado is a wonderful, intelligent doctor for our son with severe autism. Dr. Delgado has stayed the course through some of the most difficult and challenging times we've ever had with our son and has always been encouraging, kind and responsive. Even when there has been slight disagreements he's not arrogant or dismissive and is open to discussion. Yes, he's busy, but that's the nature of his job.

Cold, rude and wrong
It was horrible, he did not do an MRI - he was abrupt and rude. What a terrible doctor.

Dr. Delgado has been the worst doctor that I had ever visited. He took my drivers licence away for three months. I went to another doc. and I was fine. This man should not practice "Do no harm" what a joke, he hurt me good.

This doctor, Delgado, misdiagnosed my mom and claimed she had a headache and refused to give her an MRI, until another doctor did approved an MRI for my mom, only to discover she did have an aneurysm - he was a cold man who called my mom and finally told her she had an aneurysm and hung up on her.

Dr. Delgado changed my life. I have suffered with migraines for 40 years and had gone to many doctors from Sharp to Blue Shield, etc, over the years who told me I didn't have "true" migraines and simply prescribed pain medication which didn't work. I would routinely lose 1-2 weeks out of each month due to the migraines, which were severe and included auras and vomiting. He spent a great deal of time with me on the phone and in person, explained what was happening to me and prescribed medications that have helped me with the migraines and he worked with my OBGYN to help with other issues. He is earnest and doggedly determined to help his patients. Because of his efforts, I have been migraine free *without* medication for over a month, and I have meds if I need them. My husband is amazed. I still can't believe it. I will never be able to thank him enough.

Very callous and uncaring doctor. Gave a short physical exam and a MoCA test prior to doing an MRI or CT scan to come to the diagnosis of dementia. I believe this diagnosis gets Kaiser off for low cost for treatment since the type of dementia is incurable. Gave me a bottle of pills and basically said "Good Luck". Leaving Kaiser this year due to this guy.

I feel fortunate to be in the care of such an exceptional and compassionate doctor. Dr. Delgado is brilliant and keeps up to date with the latest research. He is patient, thorough and takes the necessary time to answer questions and explain matters in detail. He is a real credit to Kaiser Permanente and to his profession.

He's terrible. Diagnosed my mom with dementia before doing a CT scan or even blood work. Now the DMV took her license so she can't drive anywhere which has made her depressed. She's only 70 with some minor memory problems ....she was trying to be proactive about that.

awful doctor yelled at me and literally gave me a medicine that almost killed me. When I came back and told him my symptoms he said it was anxiety and to see a psychiatrist. So I saw a psychiatrist and the immediately saw the drug interaction and took me off of it because it was harming me.

I have multiple sclerosis and ask why can't I get a mri once a year to see my progression. He would tell me how in wouldn't tell us much. To me it seems like basic health care. Also didn't seem empathetic to my needs. So I found a new Dr.
