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.

Excellent endocrinologist! Listens and works with his patients, is very knowledgeable and is aware of the latest research. Office very well run, easy to make appointments.

Great caring doctor. Knows the ins and outs of endocrinology and explains it in simple understandable terms. Willing to listen and spend the needed time to make sure you are comfortable with his recommendations. Best referral that my primary care doctor ever made to me

I selected Dr. Chavez after having some tests come back from my OB/GYN that didn't look so good. He ran several comprehensive tests and discovered a thyroid issue. Dr. Chavez is detailed, kind and a good listener.
