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.

Straight forward and tells you everything prior so you have no questions left unanswered. He's a doctor and knows his business in this field.

If I need to go under the knife again, I will not select Dr. Pena as my surgeon. I showed up for my 1st visit w/him (pre-op)(Kaiser) on time, was shown in to the room, on time..but he was just over an hour wait. We were told he was w/another patient. When he FINALLY arrived, he went on and on about the history of breast cancer/treatment. Another hour added to his time to get paid for. He talks, to hear himself talk. Not impressed. And..I was told a lie. THAT was an additional put-off. Nice enough guy, just long-winded. Lets just get to what really matters. Forget the meter is running.
