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.

Incredible Doctor, you won't find better care!
I saw Doctor Briones for chest pains, she immediately stopped what she was doing and stood by while the nurse ran an EKG, once she saw it, she immediately started life-saving measures as I was having a significant heart attack. I told her I had to go to a meeting, she said not today, I already called an ambulance! While she was working on me she had summoned an ambulance that eventually took me to Yale hospital where 2 stents were put into my heart. She saved my life and I'll never forget that. The Yale Doctor said that if I waited a day, I would have most likely died.

Dr Briones has been my Dr for a few years and has been very helpful and on the mark. I enjoy talking with her and she takes her time with any questions I have. I never have to wait long to get in and her staff always respond to my phone calls.

Awful doctor. Dr. Briones was my primary and when I went to see her for something causing me problems she did not listen to a word I had to say and did nothing to help me. After countless visits of getting no where and my symptoms still persisting I was finally able to find a legitimate primary who heard me out and started to help me. If you're looking for a thorough doctor I urge you NOT to go to coastal medical.

1st visit as her being my pop. Very comfortable to talk to. Listens well and documents everything you say. Outgoing, and very much makes you feel like you are equal as opposed to some doctors who can make you feel as if you're less than them. Had called about an issue a week prior to first visit and she handled it perfectly over the phone.

I waited over an hour to see her and she makes me come in for visits i don't need and she is not sympathetic and she dosent even know me and she said somethings that really got under my skin. like assumptions over my health. My dad died tragically and she told me to take vitamin d and -fish oil to improve my depression that was existing before he died as well. Im very disappointed i absolutely hate this practice and this doctor she is like disassociated with things seems like she dismisses stuff
