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. Machado!.
Dr. Ricardo Machado is very professional and understanding. My husband & I have been his patients for the past 5 years.

His clinic is understaffed, when I call his office, no one picks up, when the call is picked up, it goes to recording, saying to leave a message, but I can’t because the voicemail is full. When I have left messages, which have been many, I don’t get a response or a return call. So now I have to find another cardiologist, because I’m sick and need help and I can’t reach the doctor or anyone in the doctors office. So wrong so unprofessional. And so dangerous for sick patients:(
