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 is cold and condescending. Very negative. Will not answer questions. Talked down to us. We are both registered nurses and he treated us like idiots. Would not recommend.

I have been seeing this Physician for two years. He/office staff have failed to order medication refills for me three times. This occurred even though I made inquiries each time several days in advance. The Dr can never be reached, his assistant never returns calls and I go without my medication over several days, because the Dr cannot be reached.

I thought him totally incompetent, as was his office staff. My hospital tests were lost, then reviewing them was incredibly delayed, then he told me what I had might just be in my head....No confirmed by others adult onset asthma for which I take daily medication for the rest of my life...What a waste of my time and money to go to his office for those visits...

Dr. Urbina wasted a month of my time with incorrect diagnoses -- meanwhile my lung cancer was growing. He did a bronchoscopy which returned a false negative ("no cancer shown") when in reality I had a large lung tumor. Weeks went by while he suggested I wait 3 weeks to have a 2nd x-ray. This didn't seem right to me, so I insisted on a new xray after 1 week, and sure enough, it showed a tumor. If I had followed his advice even more time would have been wasted. I also found him cold & uncaring.
