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.

Outstanding provider
I have been seeing Dr Arango for 2 years now. She takes an integrative and practical approach to care. She has my gout totally managed and has addressed other medical issues which surfaced in her review of my case. Her approach is refreshing and successful. So blessed that she accepted my referral.

She does not listen to her patients. My initial visit with her, I told her how much pain I was in, also my struggles with sleep (of which she suggested melatonin hahah). She is not very versed in side affects of medications and basically "I do not know why you having reactions the medication", as if it is not listed on the drugs side effects page. Also the office that she works for is a joke. They do not let you choose the doctor, and when there is an open referral will send you to the worse doctor. When asked to switch, they stated that is goes against their policy to switch to another doctor within their practice. It is unfortunate because there is limited options within the area for rheumatologists!

Past patient. Dr. Arangontold me it was all in my head. So I traveled all the way to MAYO in MN. turns out she is just a TERRIBLE excuse for a Dr. Just one simple blood test revealed that she was putting my life in danger. I simply do not have an immune system. That was all it was. After years of fighting for my life against viruses, I NOW finally get monthly infusions. But NO THANKS to ARANGO at ALL. She would rather play amateur psychiatrist with her buddies at U of R. Truth hurts. Terrible.
