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.

Great, caring Doctor
Absolutely the best Doctor! Highly recommend him if you need a great Gastroenterologist.

Awesome Doctor and Staff
I have used Dr. Robert Albares for many years. He is a very caring individual and exhibits professionalism in all aspects of his practice. He is very easy to talk to and explains what he feels is the best treatment plan for you. He wants you to understand the pros and cons of his decision and is very question friendly. He comes highly recommended by myself and my spouse.

A fantastic Doctor!
Dr. Albares is a very knowledgeable and personable Doctor. I've gone to him for many years and truly trust him as my Doctor. He is excellent in communication as well as explaining in detail what is going on. He is a very good listener. I feel like I always have his full attention and feel at ease after our visit. I might add as well his Nurse Hayden is amazing. She is so efficient and calls me back promptly. Not sure how she does all she does and so extremely well! She's always so kind, helpful, compassionate and does what she says she's going to do. She is the best! Thank you all for top notch care. I sincerely appreciate you!
