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.

Dr. PEÑA'S STAFF IS NOT EFFICIENT, DON'T ASK THEM FOR ANY INFORMATION BECAUSE YOU WON'T GET IT, THE ONLY THING THEY DO KNOW HOW TO DO IS APOLOGIZE FOR THEIR INCOMPETENCE. DR. PEÑA HIMSELF HAS NEVER ONCE RETURNED ANY CALLS WITH ANY OF OUR CONCERNS AND HAS BEEN BLATANTLY RUDE TO US IN PERSON.APPOINTMENTS HAVE BEEN IGNORED DUE TO HIS FREQUENT VACATIONS AND NO ATTEMPT OF CANCELLATION FROM HIS STAFF WHATSOEVER HAVE BEEN MADE. ISSUES ARE LEFT UNRESOLVED AS THERE ARE NEVER FOLLOW UPS. (BAD RECOMEND)

HIs office manager is a very mean and unprofessional person. Because of her not providing an appt. I ended up in the hospital for one week. Before I was admitted to the hospital I called three times to request an appt. and she just said the doctor was sick or on vacation. I asked for an alternative or covering MD and she said there was no one available. We submitted a grievance about a year ago directly to the doctor and still waiting response.
