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.

Billing not patient is the main focus
Per doctors orde I did my blood work with $512 payment out of pocket, the lab said the policy covered over $2K of this blood work already. Results came alerting so after waiting a couple of days (expecting doctor’s call as she promised) I called the office. They said I can only talk to the doctor in person, she does not make blood test review calls or zoom visits, it has to be in person only and first available would be in 2!! months. They offered to talk tot the nurse, who said they don’t have the results yet and she has to order then at that day and call me on the next day. Three days passed I called back and told they still don’t see results, I emailed them the results from the lab and it has been 3 days since then still not a call from them. In the meantime I received another $495 bill for the allergy test that was confirmed by the doctor and her office as “covered by my policy”. Conclusion $1000.00 visit with such experience and my health issue is unresolved.

Dr. Caraballo-Fonseca was extremely informative and professional. I was clueless as to how the allergy testing worked. She walked me through the process while explaining the process in a way I could easily understand. She helped me understand the insurance side and made sure the shots would work with my schedule. I was extremely impressed.
