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.

Awful
We had Tenorio back in 2018. Same experience as the other poor reviews AND he adamantly continued my son on medication that was quickly deteriorating my child, wanted to add more on top of that, would t listen to my concerns, AND tried scaring me with BS of medical neglect etc.. Unfortunately for him I know my rights as a parent overseeing medical concerns and threw the statues he was violating back at him. It was a TERRIBLE experience. AWFUL.

We really liked Dr. Tenorio. Intelligent, kind, easy to understand, and not an alarmist.

Tenorio was a massively overpriced waste of time, charged us $667 for a 15 minute outpatient consulation as was recommended by our primary care. Ended up just being like "meh, seems fine" for us to then get that charge denied by insurance.

I felt like he was very attentive. Took his time to make sure we understood and answered all the questions we had. He did not make us feel hurried or he needed to be somewhere else. I would highly recommend him to anyone. He gave us hope.

Not interested in patient input. He and his staff refuse to return my phone calls about side effects of medication he pushed on my son. We are looking elsewhere for a doctor more interested in finding the cause instead of managing symptoms. His office billed my insurance provider $694 for a 30 minute visit.

The last time I checked doctors are supposed to look out for the best interest of a patient. He to call in a prescription that my daughter was out of unless she drove 4 1/2 hours back from college and missed school for an appointment. He would rather have her not have seizure medicine and drive 4 1/2 hours off of her medicine then give her a prescription until her appointment

Terrible Doctor. Pushy with medications. Misdiagnosed my eldest child which left him untreated for ASD until we'd passed any timeframe of hope for early intervention. Not a very good person, in general.

Not sure why so many have left bad reviews. He was very nice, explained things to us in detail, and answered questions. Would recommend him to others for sure.
