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.

Dr Ernesto Bustinza-Linares told me to Shut up!
Dr. Ernesto Bustinza-Linares: 1 star for the disrespect and the lack of professionalism! Dr. Bustinza-Linares told me to ' Shut up'! My husband and I were astonished and deeply disappointed with the level of disrespect and unprofessionalism we encountered during our visit. Upon arrival, my husband was immediately sent for a blood draw without any explanation, and a staggering 15 vials were taken. When Dr. Bustinza-Linares finally appeared, my husband attempted to explain his situation, only to be met with a dismissive attitude and the blunt question, 'Why are you even here? I can't help you.'I asked Dr. Bustinza-Linares if my husband's blood would still be tested from those 15 vials drawn earlier by his nurse, he rudely replied with a 'Shut up', who then refused to engage with me any further. Shocked, I asked him directly if he had indeed told me to 'shut up,' to which he admitted. Without hesitation, we left the office, both shaken by the complete lack of respect we had encountered.

Shared with me if I could find out the cause of my autoimmune, I probably wouldn’t need my infusions. That gave me hope and I felt like I was pointed in the right direction. Thanks Dr Bustinza

Just my families thoughts
I am glad most all of these reviews of DR. Bustinza wear good I myself was not pleased with the information or treatments of my mother in his care, I do not feel that he would offer any other treatments for her cancer than the run of the mill, my sister and I both made trips over to see him with my mother and were not pleased, one time she was treated when blood sugar was way to high for treatment and was given medications that caused her sugar to go way to high. I am glad that his other were happy with him. This was just my family's experience with him, we were not pleased with lack of info we got from him.

You want a Caring Doctor. See Dr. Bustinza
I went to him for the first time for DVT. He not only cared for me with compassion but told me things my Cardiologist should have told me. I truly recommend anyone to go see him. He was amazing.
