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.

SAW HIM FOR A YEAR ELSEWHERE WAS GOOD
but, not hereUNABLE TO SEE PROVIDER AT NEW CLINIC UNLESS 78 YEAR OLD WIFE WITH KIDNEY DISEASE COULD URINATE IN A CUP FIRST. DOES NOT EVEN OFFER BLOOD OR SALIVA TESTING LIKE THE OTHER CLINICS. HE CAN NOT MAKE UP FOR THE OTHER OFFICE STAFF, NON LISCENSED ACTING LIKE LISCENSED WITHOUT NAME BADGES. MANAGER PROTECTING THEM. OTHER PATIENTS OBSERVED WITH THE SAME FATE IN WAITING ROOM 3 TIMES OVER A FIVE MONTH PERIOD. WE WERE WITH HIM AT ANOTHER CLINIC FOR OVER A YEAR WITH NO DIFFICULTIES. THIS PLACE IS NOT THE SAME.FROM A LICENSED HEALTH CARE PROVIDER FOR OVER 3O YEARS - June 15, 2024

Because of the outstanding treatments and services I have received from Dr Luo I have decided to follow him in his new practice. Dr Luo is amazing in his demeanor, bed side manner, and understanding of my pain level He has managed my pain for over five years and I am thrilled to refer him to anyone. I now travel from San Antonio to his new practice. I must add that he’s also funny and has a great sense of humor. He referred me to my Neurosurgeon, who did an amazing job on my back.

Cancel all procedure appointments: 5/8, 5/9, 5/22. The absence of communication between Crystal, Legent and me is too much for me to schedule my times. You have scheduled 3 different dates, and none of your staff seems to know which is which and I cannot connect with anyone.

Wonderful Doctor
He listens and explains what your problem is that is causing pain. He takes his time during your appointment. He looks at your radiologist films and shows you where the issues are that cause pain.

Caring about your patients is such a big characteristic in a dr. When your dr doesn’t care about you or what you’re going through you get the worse care and I experienced it first hand. As he hides behind his computer not reading me any results or listening to me. As I said numerous times I don’t want opioids, I’m in pain, it hurts here, my symptoms are worsening and yet none of those things were taken into account. There was no “managing of pain” being done. You just kept prescribing me more pills when I said I need to find a fix not a bandaid. For someone with asthma I should’ve never been put on an opioid medication that causes breathing problems in the first place. For someone on an opioid medication after saying my fears over and over again I shouldn’t have been told “you should be fine to just stop taking it cold turkey” WITH A BRAND NEW MEDICATION ON THE MARKET! None of this is okay and all of this just added to my pain and agony. But as your staff said, “it’s my own fault”
