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.

Dr. J. Santiesteban, an exceptional physician
I have been under the care of Dr. Santiesteban for the past 18 months, and I am thrilled to share my experience. Finding a reliable and compassionate primary care doctor can be challenging, but I can confidently say that Dr. Santiesteban exceeds all my expectations.Dr. Santiesteban consistently demonstrates a high level of professionalism and expertise in every aspect of my healthcare. From my initial consultation to follow-up appointments, I felt listened to and valued as a patient. Communication is key in healthcare, and Dr. Santiesteban excels in this aspect. He is attentive, responsive to my questions, and ensures I have a clear understanding of my treatment plans and medications. Appointments are promptly scheduled, and I rarely have to wait beyond my scheduled time. This level of organization reflects their respect for their patients' time and their commitment to providing a seamless healthcare experience. I highly recommend Dr. Santiesteban to anyone seeking quality care.

Horrible service, wish I could give 0 stars. Was told I need a covid test before coming in. I took a PCR tests. Dr Santiesteban's office called me and told me it was negative and scheduled me for a same day appt. They called me 15 minutes before to tell me they read the results wrong, the test wasnt readable and I cannot be seen. No help, did not help with scheduling another test, and lack credibility after providing me an incorrect result. All around terrible experience with this office.
