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 Upfront Honest Doctor
I saw Dr. Ignacio Echenique hoping for the best as the reviews were not encouraging. I'm also very picky choosing Doctors. I found a Dr that's energetic, very frank, to the point, gave me names of other Doctors who can help me as he was very upfront he would not do the surgery bc it is risky and I need a specialist. Have not had any Doctor be this upfront and honest about my situation and appreciate that very much. Also I waited about 20 minutes to be called in and left within the hour so almost no wait even though the room was full at Salus Guaynabo. He was attentive and very helpful. I highly recommend him but fyi he is not a colon surgeon or would not do specialized jobs.

The WORST health practitioner I have visited in my hole life. There’s no empathy with patients. I don’t know how a kind of person like these can had obtained a licence to practice medicine.
