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.

Worst doctor ever encountered in my 62 years
She was rude and uncaring - wouldn't even listen to me. Was over an hour late for my appointment and then walked out on my and informed me we were 'done' before I able even to ask for prescription refills. The only reason she is getting one star is because I cannot leave zero stars. Stay away from this doctor!

Very informative and helpful. She addressed all my concerns and follow through with testing. She reviewed all my bloodwork results in a very clear and accurate manner. So happy to finally find a doctor that not only hears my concerns but addresses them to make sure everything is good .

Disrespectful Doctor
Mrs. Maria Batista is a patient of Dr. Nieves and yesterday she went to ask for a letter of disability to deliver it to the apartment where she lives, and the doctor told her rudely 'That's up to them to do what they want' and he didn't write the letter. That is disrespectful to talk to a patient like that, especially when she is an older person, who really depend on doctors to be able to have healthy health.

My problem was brief but she addressed it to my satisfaction and answered my questions and explained why the medication I was asking for was probably not best for me .My condition has responded well to the medication she ordered ,so I have returned back to her for various things , though they too have been one problem each time when my local doctor was not available .

Dr Hornbeck takes care of several family members and friend I have brought to her ( as I am the driver ,etc) and she has done a wonderful job. She is a caring physician and explains everything in good detail. She does not prescribe unnecessary medications and explains this which I appreciate since some of my family is elderly. She always responds back on our calls via herself or her nurse and fills medications as soon as we ask, and reminds us if we have not followed up something that needs checking .She is very experienced and stays composed and acts respectful to us on our visits

The most unprofessional blatantly rude exchange I've had with another person in years. I hesitate to refer to her as doctor; a simple question about an antibiotic incited a verbal tirade from her about how she is working on a holiday taking care OF YOUR family when I could be home with MINE! ..how dare you question my medical license! And so on. (Never mentioned her license. Just asked what was in prescription cream.) Bedside manner I do not need, basic non threatening interactions,I expect.
