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.

Overcharged. His billing is terrible. His diagnosis was way off as he over prescribed medicine for me that made me even sicker than when I first started seeing him.

His billing is horribly over priced when compared with other doctors. When I spoke to him about the charges being so high he blamed my insurance company but that is not the case. It is his billing. If you need a prescription refill you better get it while you are in his office because they are not good about calling in prescriptions.

Dr. Bocado is very professional and thorough in his treatment of his patients. He seems never in a hurry and explains everything in a manner that one can understand. He is very friendly and I never dread my appointments as I do with some doctors. I am very fortunate to have Dr. Bocado as my doctor.

Dr.Bocado is an extraordinary Doctor, if you don't want to wait then find a drive thru Doctor!! He is knowledgeable and straight to the point! It's so funny how people can wait in line for hours on a black Friday but can't wait to see the Doctor ?? isn't that funny?

Worst place to go to thedoctors. They leave you sitting in the waiting room for hours on end when you have a appointment. this is the third time this has happened to my father. Went in today for a pretty serious and visible injury and sat there for 2 and 1/2 hours nobody called him back nobody saw him he got pissed and he left. this is a very ridiculous way to treat your patients. We will be looking for another doctor. Horrible horrible treatment

Brought my mother from Key West where she was being treated for arthritis. Dr. Bocado diagnosed her with cancer. Since that time he and his staff has been paying my mother close attention. Every member of his staff has had a warm hand in my mother’s care. Our visits to his office is like another step to her recovery...these visits renew our faith, I know this was apart of a plan larger than me.
