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.

Highly recommend Dr. Bustillo
I was referred to Dr. Bustillo for bone and joint pain. He was friendly, professional and helpful. He asked me questions and reviewed my labs. After making a diagnosis he started me on meds that helped relieve pain. On a future lab, Dr noticed some irregularities in my blood and referred me to an Oncologist. I was diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma. Thank you Dr Bustillo for catching that.

Excellence! Compassionate Is His Name
So blown away by his compassion on my first visit, I waited a full year to see if my ardor would change. It has NOT! Dr. Bustillo is a compassionate physician, he is attentive, and cares for the well-being of his patients. Every laboratory result is scrutinized for fluctuations, past and present, and recommendations made to improve your future results. Medications are changed as need, and he detects contradictions that may exist with previously prescribed meds before prescribing new ones. He works well with other physicians to achieve your best outcome. I truly appreciate his professionalism and acute knowledge of his profession. Highly Recommended! :)The staff is also friendly, and makes every effort to know YOU, and not just by name. Questions are answered, calls are returned, and it is a pleasure walking into this office. The ambience of the office proper is calm, clean, and reassuring. I assure you, no complaints!

Excellent rheumatologist
Dr. Bustillo is very thorough and communicates well. For me, he discovered a life-threatening condition that other doctors and nurses overlooked.He is, in addition, very personable and works in a kind manner.

I have been trying to get an appointment with Dr. Bustillo for over 2 months. They said they are "behind" and have a stack of referrals. Now, just to find out they are not booking appointments until 2020! This is CRAZY! When a patient gets a referral to see another doctor - THAT MEANS THEY NEED TO SEE THEM! I would highly recommend NOT calling this office!

Never go to Dr Bustillo if you need treatment. Arrogant, doesn’t listen, and doesn’t want to be bothered. I’ve been involved with and going to Rheumatologists since 1993 he by far is the worst I’ve ever known.

Dr. looked at my lab results ordered by my GP after three years of pain and inflammation and basically asked me why I was there. He told me I didn't have any of the conditions that he treated and that I should be happy. Felt totally humiliated and like I was wasting his time.

Worst experience ever. Dr. asked what was going on and I started to explain and when a doctor can sit there and roll his eyes at you while in the office. Than wants to over talk you and than tries to deny anything is wrong with you and states he will see if there is even a true diagnoses as he acted as I was just looking for medication which is not true at all I just needed to know what was wrong with me. Made me feel as he felt I was lieing and just a pill seeker which I am not. horrible Dr

The worst experience I have ever had at a Dr.'s office. Never even saw the Doctor, the front desk person was so rude and gave me such a hard time over the insurance that I did not want anything to do with that office.

I was very impressed with Dr. Bustillo. First, I got a correct diagnosis and I am feeling back to normal. Prior to my visit with Dr. Bustillo I had been to 3 different locations and they were unable to diagnose my condition, so I am very pleased that Dr. Bustillo was able to help me. His staff was very friendly, my appointment was right on time, and he spent 15 to 20 minutes talking with me. I did not feel rushed at all. He was very easy to talk to, and explained my condition.
