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 Doctor Great Staff always making sure me and my family receive the best treatments and medicine to stay healthy and i good spirit. Thank you Doctor and staff!

My mother went to see Dr. Wilches after struggling with different things.When we went to her appt, they made us wait a very long time.First in the waiting room than inside.It was more than an hour. Finally when the doctor came in, he barely talked to my mom.When we went back for my mom's result's, same thing.He didn't even bother to look at my her; just quickly read her results from tests that were runned. He was in such a hurry and walk out pretty fast. Kept trying to stop him to ask questions.

Dr. Wilches is an excellent doctor, but the problem with him it seem like he's under the orders of the insurances. He never gives appointments in a reasonable time, you have to wait like two months before he sees the patient with a new aliment. To get an appointment with a specialist is easier than get one with Dr. Wilches.
