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.

Review for Dr. Miguel FuentesI had an absolutely terrible experience with Dr. Miguel Fuentes. He is rude, unprofessional, and dismissive, showing no genuine care for his patients.First, he was extremely pushy about kicking my mom out of the room, even though I am an adult and it was my choice whether she stayed. He kept insisting she leave, making the situation unnecessarily uncomfortable.Then, when I said I did not want a flu shot, he gave my mom judgmental looks, as if my personal medical decision was a problem. Instead of respecting my choice, he made me feel like I was being pressured into it.Throughout the visit, he was rushing everything, barely listening, and acting like he had somewhere more important to be. He clearly has a huge ego, thinking that just because he’s a doctor, he’s always right and doesn’t need to explain anything. When I asked what medicine he was prescribing, instead of taking the time to answer, he slammed the door on me.

Highly NOT recommended
For years he was one of my child's providers at Santiago Medical G. At annual physical he only took 5 minutes and always ignored all my questions and concerns about my child’s health. In many occasions I stressed something was not right with my child physical state -he tended to responded in a sarcastic and unprofessional manner that everything looked normal it’s only in my mind. After seeing other doctors, my child was diagnosed with genetic syndrome which has already 7 years overdue for treatment. In my experience he is a “professional” who bases his approach on prejudices, he needs to put more care into the needs and health of his patients. Highly NOT recommended.

Very unprofessional barely asked me any questions seeing as I'm the parent, second time he told my daughter(who is under his care for anxiety depression and other behavioral issues including lack of self-esteem etc etc) she was fat and abruptly stopped her psych meds because she's not in school. when infact she actually is enrolled in summer school this year but, he wouldn't know that because he didn't bother to ask me any questions like I said.my personal opinion,and experience was very slow ,staff was nice.the receptionist was very helpful and nice. but I'm not pleased with the doctor and his services at all.and to touchy feely too.
