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.

I highly recommend Dr. Avila
I needed to get something corrected and Dr Avila was the first person who actually listened to me and respected what I said and what I thought needed to be done. I had been to a few 'prestige' doctors in NYC, Florida and I think California as well. I wound up having the revision with Dr Avila and he did an excellent job. His rates were also quite reasonable (unlike the other doctors). Btw, the thing that needed to be corrected was something one of those fancy big city doctors had done. I recommend him highly. Btw, the hospital was small, quiet and pleasant and his office staff are all gems.

First, I was impressed with the professional and friendly staff. They put me at ease right away. Dr Avila was friendly, professional, and answered all of my questions without being condescending. I was extremely pleased with the quality of his work. He had been highly recommended by my dermatologist who said that "he did the prettiest work in the Valley". Even though my procedure was for a basal cell carcinoma, I can tell that there will be minimal scarring, in effect, "pretty work". I plan to see Dr. Avila for cosmetic purposes and am going to recommend him to friends and family.
