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. Hidalgo performed surgery on my one year old son. She was patient, informative, caring and I couldn't be happier after having worked with her. Zero complaints.

She took care of my mother for her UTIs. She explained why they happen and how to prevent them. My mom hasn't had a UTI since then

We had no problems with Dr Hidalgo, we did get a little concerned taking our baby into her for surgery after seeing these not so great reviews but in the end we decided they weren't that similar to our situation and our initial visit with her and emails after seemed like she cared and were personal and nice. We also weren't overly concerned with her as surgeon more of the anesthesia and we were going to be worried about that no matter where we went. Our experience was a good one.

Seeing this doctor was not a tramatic experience. She suggested an invasive procedure to our little baby that was against the most recent guideline of American Association of Pediatrics. Thinking that our baby could have gone through unnecessary procedure or medication really makes me get tears in my eyes. I went to see another doctor for a second opinion, and he was very nice and understanding. I do not recommend Dr. Hidalgo at all.

Not a good experience in Bellevue, WA – Sep 20, 2016
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Hidalgo-Tamola?
I would not recommend Dr. Hidalgo-Tamola to anyone. I was diagnosed with bladder cancer under her care. After the surgery to remove the cancer and full diagnosis of bladder cancer she recommended removing my bladder. Thankfully, I got a second opinion from a UW Urologist who stated that was not needed and that I could just undergo BCG treatments and we would monitor for cancer. I have been through several bcg treatments and am still cancer free with my bladder. I have now left Group Health.
