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.

When I got pregnant I went to two docs previous to Dr Arrunategui. Once I went to this office I felt like all mr questions was answered and all my uncertainty and worries went away . This is my first child so me and my husband , which is very much involved , felt comfortable with the DR. So his definitely amazing and I would highly recommend to anyone who’s looking for a doctor ????? that is knowledgeable and understanding. Dr Arrunategui is definitely the doctor to have .

The best and most compassionate doctor I've ever met. He puts a value on you and your baby that can't be measured. He is there for you and his staff is amazing. I'm a nurse and it is not common to find a doctor like Dr. A! I highly recommend him! The whole office makes you feel like family. You will not be disappointed.
