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.

Heaven Sent
I've never had a medical doctor that was this attentive, she called me several times when I didn't follow up with the referrals to ensure I did. I refer everyone to her because I know they will receive top notch medical care. I enjoy my visits with her because she is so friendly and enjoy laughing and talking with you. I love that about her, she feels more like a friend to me, more than my doctor and I love that about her.

My Experience with Dr. Fagonde
Dr Fagonde has been my Doctor for a couple of years. I love it that although she's Spanish she does not display racism. She shows a genuine concern and care for my health needs. I highly recommend her to the Black community who usually experiences racism in health care.

Excellent PCP
Dr. Fagonde is very good but has to service too many patients & place time constraints on their visit as imposed by PHS Family Medicine. Because of time constraints she can appear rushed & overworked. I’m sure that with a better trained staff she could service her patients in a more effective manner.
