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.

Very Happy with Doctor
First time seeing her. She gave me a long extensive physical. Ordered blood tests, colonoscopy and sent me to get my vaccines too. She took time to listen and asked if I have any additional questions.

Horrible Dr
If I could leave no stars I would. Please save yourself some time and find a Doctor who will actually care about your health. She shouldn’t be allowed to care for patients as she is inconsiderate, rude, and she lacks empathy. After a major procedure (not done by her) she told me there’s nothing she can do for me regarding other issues I am currently having. Please if you care about your own health find a doctor who feel cares just as much.

Low interest on patient's concerns
Phone appointment with her lasted 3 minutes. I would have loved for Dr. Villarreal to be prepared to go over my test results , to take time to listen and be more understanding to the concerns regarding my symptoms. I'm disappointed, but I'd rather discuss this with the appropriate person over the phone.

Bedside manner sucks. No empathy due to lack of communication skills when talking to her patient. Portrays a smart Alec personality when voicing her arguments with a patient. Unprofessional and I believe she is just concentrated in pursuing her retirement plans now rather than work as a professional doctor.

I never like to leave reviews, but since is a doctor who is responsible for the health of people I feel the need to do so. Dr. Villarreal doesn't care of your health. I went for a physical and she said I didn't need any blood test since my physical results from past year was good. She only checked my lungs and hearth. She didn't hear my health concerns, she completely ignored what I told her. Everyone can prove at their own risk, but she is terrible.

I went to see this Dr. After paying the necessary co-payment, she stormed into the examination room without so much as taking a peak at my situation. She wrote me a note to go back to work and, she refuse to listen to anything that I had to say. I got a second opinion that took place 4 1/2 weeks later, just to find out that I have a major injury. This started from May 2016, and I am still off work today November 2016 due to the delay in care from her. I personally do not recommend this Dr.
