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.

Life saver
I had a ping pong size aneurysm, he inserted a pipeline and stent. Very nice and took time to explain everything to me. It’s been 4 years now and no problems. Thank you so much Dr. I am going to meet my very 1st grandchild in May!

Yes
I love Dr Samaniego and his staff! He saved my life when I was brought into the hospital by ambulance, after my aneurysm had burst. He put a coil in and later when I developed the need for stents he did those, too. In all the follow up appointments he took time to answer my questions, he was patient and kind, and alayed my fears. I have all the trust, faith, and admiration in him and his capabilities!
