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.

Personal calls and follow-ups
I have found Dr. Pimental to be both very competent and caring. Before my kidney-stone surgery he personally called me on several occasions, checking on how I was feeling, what meds I might need, going over lab results, discussing my options, and explaining what surgery would entail. I did end up having surgery after other options failed. I am now less than 24 hours post-op, feeling better than pre-opt and am expecting a call from him today or tomorrow, given his track record.

Incredible doctor
Had my vasectomy performed by Dr. Pimentel. I was incredibly anxious going in but as soon as Dr. Pimental walked in and we started chatting I calmed down. Worst part was the lidocaine shots which Dr. Pimental apologized for, which I thought was funny. We chatted during the whole procedure and I didn't feel a thing after the shots. Was done in 9 minutes, tops. 4 days later and I've barely experienced any lingering pain/swelling. 10/10 experience.
