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.

Calls never answered
It’s frustrating calling this office as they never pick up. I made 18 calls and the last one was answered. I need my prescription to be transferred to another pharmacy. They take the message and the doctor never transferred my medication. It’s frustrating trying to get a hold of the doctor. They take the message but nothing is ever done. Called agin at 3:40 to be told by the answering machine service that the office is closed!! Horrible service the wait time is also insane. I take this medication monthly as I have injuries that need surgery for. I will be looking for a new pain management doctor

Degenerative joint disease
Excellent professional. His demeanor calmed me down before the procedure. Dr Serpa administered anesthesia during the procedure which helped keep the pain at a minimal level. He is gentle. I will go back next year for other areas of my back.

Amazing silky, golden hands doc.!
If Hippocrates, the father of medicine, was still alive, he would have been proud to see that there are still doctors like Dr. Serpa, having said that, it’s not much else to add. Dr. SERPA is a role model and a genuine source of inspiration to both: other colleagues, and his patients. He cured my painful knees with his professional knowledge and the magic of his hands. I highly recommend Dr. SERPA as an interventional pain management specialist. I also feel so thankful for the entire staff members of his office!!

Dont even waste your time going out there. I did not meet with whom I thought I would meet, instead I waited 4 hours to meet with someone who did not tell me his name, he spent more time on the computer and not reviewing my MRI'S nor X Ray,s. I would not recommend this MD to my worse enemy, in addition since they were in my insurance network they tried to charge a huge amount of services not provided to my insurance company. Without a doubt my worse MDs visit ever!!! They should not be calling themselves healers, when in fact they do quite the opposite...

I had an appt with Dr. Serpa today. Instead the Nurse Practitioner comes in the room empty handed, no chart. Nothing. I asked him if he had seen the results of the MRI that I provided his office an hour before my appt and he said what MRI. The office staff failed to provide the nurse practitioner with a copy of my MRI. I my opinion, Dr. Serpa’s office is unprepared and incompetent. I do not plan to return to this office. The nurse practitioner did not like what I said and and refused to see me.
