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.

Wonderful Pediatrician for our Family
Dr. Duarte is always so pleasant and kind. He also is very good at troubleshooting those mystery bugs kids can get and always makes my kids feel comfortable. He always answers all of our questions and truly cares about his patients. So grateful for all of his help with my family!

The provider was very communicative and helpful with all questions we had. We have seen him a couple times in urgent care and have been satisfied with the care he provides. He does. A good job explaining illnesses and puts us at ease.

We did not receive good communication. People were not informed when they called to relays tests and we did not receive an after visit summary. They did not explain any medications and diagnosis

Just didn't appreciate the lack of communication while waiting during a stressful and scary situation. Will be taking our son to our usual Pediatrician from now on.

Love him
He has always been there for all 3 of my boys. When I needed to find out what's going on or mentally. The whole staff is helpful and when I have worries he helps me figure them out and he goes above and beyond. And he listens and asks the children if they have any concerns as well he always includes the children and there opinions as well. And he takes his time with them. Alot of doctors we seen don't listen and don't take the children's opinion into matters it's there body/ life. Love him and the staff!!!

Patient and Kind
I have been taking my children to Dr. Duarte since 2017. My wife and I are proud overprotective parents and we find Dr. Duarte to be very caring and kind. He has never seemed like he was in a hurry and was very thorough despite what some reviews have said about him. That’s exactly one of several things we like about him is that he spends all the time you need with him and isn’t in a hurry to go away before he’s satisfied all our questions have been answered and any concerns thoroughly reviewed. I couldn’t disagree more with some previous reviews, it’s like they’re not even talking about the same doctor! We love seeing him and my kids like him too.

Dr. Duarte is a fantastic pediatrician. He is very analytical and observing doctor. We went in because my son had a virus that had pretty bad symptoms. Dr. Duarte was able to conclude he had an ear infection which was caused also by the same bacteria causing the pink eye and runny green mucus. He prescribed an antibiotic that would take care of all three issues too.

He seemed very nice, but not very thorough with his examination of my children. Had one of my children been molested or something sick like that, he wouldn't know. He asked ME about my daughter is everything ok down there? I was dumbfounded. And thought to myself any pervert could take their child to him and he would never know molestation was happening. As a doctor you should feel comfortable accessing my daughters genitals. I thought I'd give him a try, but I'm not impressed. New Dr for us.
