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.

I have been suffering for years. I have seen countless Doctors. Never have I ever been treated So well. Amazing bedside manners. Empathetic & Understanding. I know we are going to find the perfect treatment for me. Personalized for me. Because we are all so different with different needs. I have anxiety about dr appts because of how awful I’ve been treated time and time again. Slowly that anxiety is fading with each appointment. It’s been about 6months. Not once has he made me feel less of a person or treat me like a drug seeker. I know he can see that the only thing I’m seeking is relief so I can have quality of life. I can’t say enough good things. Staff is nice as well. Reasonable wait times. Again, we are all SO different. So I don’t mind if another patient needs extra time with him. I appreciate that he doesn’t make me feel rushed and we are always on the same page when I leave. Thank you wouldn’t be enough to say. I’m finally able to participate & not feel so useless.

I started seeing doctor otero last month. I like to say I'm a good judge in character. Therefore I've accomplished ejections in my back that have worked. Being on the right meds as a wounded Iraq veteran can be very stressful, but he listens to you and new ideas and he is very dovoted to his patients and very responsible. He gives injection at 7 am then goes to his other practice s couple hrs later. That s dedication at its finest and he is a doctor that you know wants to help . From David gay

He is a caring Doctor and actually takes time to listen to his patients ( me being one)! I have a lot of medical issues, but he still took my case when most doctors said it was to complex. He is a busy Doctor but it's because it really is that good. I'm proud to call him my Doctor! Danielle-
