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.

On my first appointment she was nice, ut unfortunately after she order test for me to have preformed in her facilities,I never hear back from her at all. I had to request copies of results because she never gave me a phone call to follow up results. However medical bill came at home as fast as lighting.

I really like Dr Valderrama. She is very kind and personable. She explains everything and is very thorough. She also diagnosed a condition I had which needed surgery that my previous gynecologist failed to. I highly recommend her.

Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Valderrama?
Love Dr. Lydia - she is awesome but I dread the office visits. There is a TV in The waiting room that is on and very loud at all times. We, patients, have our phones and books and magazines to entertain us so to have the TV on, all while the receptionists and women at the desk are on the phone it's just a cacophony of noise. Finally, you think there is relief when you get into one of the examination rooms, but no, the desk in that part of the office is allowed to play music on another radio!!!
