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.

Dr. Arguello has been my child's pediatrician since he was 2 and I couldn't ask for a better pediatrician. He works around the working parents schedule. At time he schedules appointments as early as 5am but no later then 5pm. I come 10 minutes before the appointment time and we are done by the appointment time. My son is so accident prone the the girls in the office now tell me when he goes on vacation so I know to not let him get hurt. It's an office joke.

I would recommended Dr.Arguello to everyone. He is the best doctor I have ever been to. He was my doctor when I was a child and I would never take my children to any other doctor. Office staff is always very helpful. Also there was one time my child was very ill and Dr.Arguello took time during the weekend to call to make sure my son was feeling better. He is an amazing doctor!!!!!!

Dr. Arguello is a very kind caring doctor. He goes above and beyond for his patients, wait time in office is very minimal. He's very attentive about my concerns and proficient when it comes to explaining everything to us. My son isn't just patient to him he knows who he is and how to treat him. I would recommend Dr. Arguello to anyone who wants a caring doctor for your child.

Dr. Arguello made a false report to DCF about my kid. He stated my son had a laceration on his nose when it was simply a scratch. Dr. Arguello surly wasted our taxes payers’ money sending a DCF worker to my house for a scratch. I would not recommend him to anyone. Needless to say we will be finding a new pediatrician.

I would definitely recommend Dr. Arguello and his staff to any parent who is looking for the best care and attentiveness in regards to their child health. Dr. Arguello goes above and beyond his expectations to provide you as a parent and your child with the ease, comfort , and knowledge that your child is and remains in great health. I was a patient of Dr. Arguello for many years when I was younger and will certainly bring my kids in the future. His service is one that cannot be compared to.

I was a patient until I was 18. I returned to the office with my son when he was born. I have also started to bring my newborn daughter. Dr Arguello and his staff are amazing. He takes time with his patients and genuinely cares about each one of them. I couldn't imagine taking my children somewhere else.
