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.

Referral for everything
I’ve gone to Dr Poblete for many years. But I’ve finally gotten fed up with him. He does absolutely nothing besides take blood work. If anything whatsoever comes up, he just refers you to a specialist. He is incapable of answering even the most basic questions. He simply refers you to a specialist for literally everything. I’m not sure what value he brings.

Awful!!!! Can’t believe he is actually a doctor. He doesn’t know the things he should and tries to hide it.

The worst doctor visit ever! Spent very short time with me. Whatever issue I talked about, he simply referred me to the corresponding specialist. For instance, when I said my elbow hurts, he said I should visit an orthopedist without any other comment or action. It was waste of time and money. I will never go back.

Have been a patient as has my wife for many years (almost 20) and have always found Dr. Poblete to be concerned about our physical wellfare and more than willing to take the time to discuss our health concerns.
