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.

I was searching for an internist who used integrated methods as part of her practice. Dr . Atienza was a perfect choice. She listened to me and gave me alternative choices using supplements before resorting to pharmaceutical medicine. I will see her again as I am thankful I found her. Thank you Honor Health for for having a physician with her knowledge and abilities on your staff.
