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.

Not friendly
I prefer to opt out of seeing him if possible. He gets upset easily and always is making faces. I don’t understand his level of practice. The scenario that happened with him is as follows. My daughter was constipated as a newborn and this practice including Dr Bustamante have been so kind in helping mothers with needs. Dr Blythe switched my daughter formula to figure out what might be happening and to see if the formula change was able to work. It did and at that time WIC didn’t cover Reguline. I kindly asked if there was any samples I could try to help me until I got my hands on Reguline. He flat out said no. He said go buy it. I was in awe and just his rude approach made me switch to new providers outside of that office. I’m sure the girls in the front would have helped but every time I would go in he wouldn’t greet and be staring. I miss Bakersfield Pediatrics but this was a hard pass.

Made faces at my wife and when we were concerned about the reactions our baby had to the cocktail of injections his nurse administered. Never went to see him at Dr. Bustamonte’s office ever again.

Well, if the wait time to make an appointment is any indicator, then I'm not optimistic. I've been on hold over 15 minutes, no hold music, no estimated wait time, nothing. I'm not impressed.
