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.

Conduct Unbecoming
I would have never posted this if he had not been so disrespectful towards veterans to the military. Made me wait an additional two hours from the scheduled time. I was there 45 minutes prior. Had aproblem with me taking notes in the appointment. He had no problem dictating his own notes while in the middle of the appointment. Unprofessional and unprepared even when given all records. If you are a community care VA veteran he will be more insulting of your pain management and medical history. Claims that one must get treatment with him contiuned every 4 months after you had a spinal cord stimulator installed. That is 30 appointments in the 10 year life of the stimulator.If you are in Puerto Rico and the VA suggests him go somewhere else.

Horrible! I was told they would see me, but I had canceled my appointment. I was and am in severe pain, I lost it when confronted with them placing my word behind their appointment service. I jumped through hoops to get the COVID test they required.Why would they even think I canceled. I was refused service because I raised my office. The Dr does not wear a mask and requires the test!

Very unhappy with the waiting time to see him. On average I wait two to three hours to be seen. I also have to get a COVID test before the appointment. Why? He doesn't use a face mask in the office during COVID. You have to jump through way too many hoops to see him and to get the treatment in the end.

Worst doctor in your specialty, does not make successful Diagnostics do not know dianosticos. Guess putting the patient at risk blocks for money not for the welfare of the patient. Just the worst
