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.

Great doctor
Dr. Valdes has taken care of my husband and I for several years and after the passing of my husband I continue to see this kind doctor. I trust him and appreciate his attentiveness and the time he takes to explain. Couldn’t ask for a better doctor. Wouldn’t want to see anyone else for primary care. The staff is very friendly and caring also.

23 years of trusted care and counting
I moved to Hammond in 2000 and Dr. Valdez has been my choice of primary care since. I trust his and his staffs professionalism. I like being in the Northoaks system I can track my care needs, and I also appreciate making an appointment and getting in and getting out quickly yet without feeling rushed. I can feel comfortable everything I came to be addressed will be addressed.

Very Good Care
I have been going to Dr Hugo Valdes for 10 years now. He is easy to talk to and he always listens to my questions. I have a lot of health problems and see a lot of different doctors. I dread going to most of my other doctors, except for Doctor Valdes. He is by far the easiest one to go to.
