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.

Misdiagnosed and report was full of sarcasm
I brought my son in because he wouldn’t stop crying. That was his only symptom. Dr. Jimenez didn’t even do a full work up, diagnosed URI because his throat was red (from screaming). I be ought him to a different hospital hours later, and he was rushed into emergency surgery. Dr. Jimenez did order an abdominal X-Ray but apparently didn’t look at it because he should have seen the problem right there. When I read his report, every line had the implication that I was just being a crazy, overprotective mother. My son ended up having 19cm of bowel removed less than 12 hours after being sent home by Dr. Jimenez. I just hope he will do better in the future.

He has no bedside manner. He doesn’t take time to explain the diagnosis unless he’s questioned about it repeatedly. He misdiagnosed our child. He has no business being in medicine much less pediatrics.
