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.

True health care provider
I have been a patient of Dr. Paz for over 20 years, he is always caring and willing to listen to my concerns. It amazes me how well he keeps track of my medical issues given his patient load. I always feel respected by him, and that he has my best interests in mind. In addition, his assistant Nancy is the most efficient and kind person you will ever run across in health care. She has helped me numerous times to resolve insurance and other issues quickly. This is what health care should be. Caring, and focused.Kathy TEscondido, CA
