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.

Excellent Doctor

By far THE WORST experience I've had with a doctor in America. Save yourself the time and worry and find yourself a cardiologist that has the time to actually see you. The doctor does not see his own patients & instead sends in physical assistants to do it for him. He's never available not even in the case of an emergency. We have been to the emergency room 2x since we saw him because he was not proactive in testing and helping us. when I called to make an appointment explaining that my husband was in the emergency room they told me he didn't have any availability for another month, they had no regard for the urgency of the matter. This place is extremely unprofessional and I also failed to mention that expect to wait 1-2 hrs past your appointment time to see someone if you even see someone. If I could give zero stars I would.

Dr. Orosco is my PCP in this practice but I have also been treated by Dr. Velasco and the front desk assistant Caridad. If you want personal, compassionate, caring professional care please come in. This practice deserves all the praise for their professionalism. God Bless everyone in this office who cares for me.
