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.

One of the best doctors I've ever had.
I know I will never find a better doctor. He just left and I miss him so much. I wish I knew where he moved his practice. We'd drive a half a day for an appointment with him. He always knew what to say and we always felt better after our office visit.

I've been seeing Dr. Paulino for over 5 years and would highly recommend him as a family doctor . He never rushes his patients and takes the time to listen . He offers a variety of solutions when possible and allows the patient to take a active roll in their health plan .

Dr Paulino was very easy to talk with and took his time. Probably the best physical I've had in a very long time! I talked to other patient's in the waiting room (this was my first visit) and they've all been going to him for a long time and just love him. I think I made a great choice.

Dr. Paulino is patient,answers questions and Explains things in such a clear way and never talks down to you like some doctors tend to do. Dr Paulino and his staff including the lab lady are all very professional yet friendly and make you feel at ease.
