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 helpful staff & Doctors

A True Doctor
Doctor Tolentino has been my Cardiologist for about 5 years and literally saved me froma heart condition and directed me to the proper course of action and procedure. He is one of those professionals, particularly doctors, that you believe to be the best role model for many others in his field.

Exceptional Doctor
Dr. Tolentino has been my cardiologist since 1991. He exceeded my expectations by not only giving me the correct diagnosis, but also providing the best treatment. Dr. Tolentino is not only very knowledgeable, but he is also approachable and compassionate. I have always felt comfortable asking questions and discussing my concerns. Dr. Tolentino has great bedside manners; he listens attentively and goes above and beyond to give his patients the treatment they require. I have highly recommended Dr. Tolentino as a skilled professional to all my family and friends that are looking for the best cardiologist. In 33 years, he has never disappointed me, I respect him and appreciate all his done for me and my family.

A supper profecional and sencitive Dr
I entered on time Dr Alfonso Looked at my chart and explained to me what he thinks and what need to be done. the second meeting he explained what are the results and what needed to be done everything was very clear and very simple. I am waiting for the third exam and a telehealth appointment to know where I am standing and what needs to be done. I feel very confident with all the processes. Thank you

Excellent and caring doctor
Dr. Tolentino is a very professional and caring doctor. He called me the next day to check on my condition. He made the necessary referrals for a top sleep therapist and electrophysiologist for my care.

Prompt Attention
This was my first visit and I was warmly received and attended to with expediency and in an efficient manner. The nurse that received me was very cordial and pleasant and I was able to explain the reason for my visit. Afterward, one of the doctors came by and went into more depth about the reason for my visit, and then Dr. Tolentino came in, introduced himself and spent time reviewing with me my condition, and explained in detail the next steps to be taken. I left the office feeling very satisfied and with a much better understanding of my situation.

Dr. Tolentino is a sweetheart. I had gone to urgent care with a pain in my chest. They ruled out a lung problem and recommended that I see my cardiologist. I was able to get an appointment for the very next day. Dr. Tolentino put me at ease. He proceeded to do an ECG with his lab technician and his student present. Happily the ECG didn’t present a problem. He spent a great deal of time with me and discussed the possible cause of the pain. I am thankful for his expertise and have only good feelings about him. If you need a cardiologist I recommend you see Dr. Tolentino.
