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.

My experience with Dr. Tijerina was truly impressive. It was several years ago when I needed neck surgery. At the time we didn't know what problems were involved but he told me at the time that he would do whatever was best for me. And he was right! He kept his word!I am so thankful that I had him as a doctor! It is interesting because I have always been very, very critical of doctors.
