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.

He truly listens and shows empathy and compassion!!!

he is fantastic. He is attentive and sensible and he truly cares if you’re hurting and I never felt bad like I felt that some other places before doctors made me feel horrible but it’s like he knew this girl but she’s got pain and I’m gonna help her. I think God for him because now I can give my daughter more of my time be able to do things with her that I wasn’t able to do before, so yeah, he saved me

Grateful that I found such kind caring doctor.
Dr. Becerra is kind and caring. I have been with this practice for over 6 yrs. Dr. Becerra has always put me at ease knowing just how nervous I was about injections. He's the best!!!

Run, fast.
Worst experience with a doctor I’ve ever had. Uncaring, unsympathetic, and unknowledgeable. Office is old and dirty. Support staff is rude and short. Limited office hours and calls are not returned promptly. I waited at least 45 minutes every time I had an appointment with no payment compensation, but wants to charge patients $25 if your 10-15 minutes late even though you would have to wait anyway. This office relates against their patients when they have questions about treatment plan with additional “pill counts,” additional urine screens, and threats of unfilled prescriptions. The doctor could care less about what your feelings and pain are like. He was quick to bill my insurance for the four minutes he spent with me each visit. Whenever he becomes older and possibly in pain, I wish him better care than what he gave to me. The worst, absolutely.

Excellent for managing chronic pain
The staff in Dr Becerra’s office are very nice and efficient. I can always get an appointment. Dr. Becerra never hurries my time with him. He is extremely knowledgeable about chronic pain relief. I get injections in my shoulder for constant chronic pain and I get good relief from them. I would highly recommend Dr. Becerra to anyone who has constant pain.

I was a patient for many years. Dr Revero great guy! I was sely pay for a while and office manager told me 80 dollars covers office visit and labs! I started getting bill! Office manager said lab made a mistake not the first time but she will fix it! I would get a bill say something to front desk and office manager they will fix it! Almost 1,600 hundred dollars later and no longer a patient! Office manager tells me not to worry about the bill! That lab will not come after me or ruin my credit! She also gave me some guy from lab who they sign contract with! I call no answer left message! No call back! Call office manager tell her please call me 1,600 hundred dollar bill is a concern to me! I don't want to leave a review but if you continue not to call me back or fix this issue I will have to leave a review! Again Dr. Revero great guy! Always listen and talk to me! But billing issues go to front desk and office manager!

I have been treating with Dr Jorge for a few years. After 2 plus years of dealing with chronic pain issues, he was the first of many doctors who listened and actually took time to investigate. Between injections and proper meds I can almost live a normal life. Will never leave his practice!

Horrible doctor! Very Aggressive, no empathy, no compassion and provided no care plan at all. I would not recomend him to anyone. I've had documented chronic pain for over 10 years and multiple surgeries, I been under the care of a different doctor but I moved and he was the closest doctor so I gave him a try and it was the worst experience imagineable.

Does not commcate with patients. My pain level has INCREASED over the past six months instead of decreasingly. My quality of life has DECREASED. This is NOT what I expected going to a pain clinic. What a waste of time.

I called at noon today, Thursday, as my doctor just referred me to pain medicine today. Left a message...never received call back :( The office is closed tomorrow. The website says they typically have same day appt. availability. Though I wasn't expecting an appt. today, since I called so early in the day I was expecting a return call. So, looks like I will be calling another doctor's office tomorrow. Sad as this office is so convenient to my home and work and same building as my PT.

One of the most caring professional doctors and staff one could ever expect in today's medical field. Dr. Rivero I would definitely recommend for anyone needing pain management. My physician recommended him when he couldn't help anymore , and I am so glad he did. The office assistants were super nice. Dr. Rivero' s nurse was very professional and personable explaining the procedure perfectly. The injections were painless when I was thinking the opposite. 10 stars is more like it.
