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 Adolfo is fantastic. I need someone that knows what they are doing, isnt afraid to give it to me straight, but will also listen if I have questions. If you need someone to kiss your a$$ and hold your hand while you cry, this isnt the lady for you. If you want someone to tell you the truth, get down to business and not waste time, she's a perfect fit.

RUDE!!
My parents went here for the FIRST time and she was RUDE. Didn’t let my parents talk or ask questions. She was lecturing my parents and talking to them like they were incompetent. DO NOT go to her!! My parents were very disappointed.

Avoid!!!
I rarely leave reviews, but my experience with this company has been so awful that I feel compelled to warn others. I've called three times, and each time, the staff has demonstrated shocking incompetence.First Call: I was placed on hold and left hanging indefinitely. No one ever came back to assist me.Second Call: The same thing happened again—placed on hold with no return. It was incredibly frustrating.Third Call: I finally got through to a third person and explained my previous struggles. Instead of addressing my concerns, she placed me on hold and, predictably, never returned.This isn't just a one-off issue. After my terrible experience, I checked their Google reviews and saw how low their ratings are. Clearly, I am not the only one facing these problems. The staff is completely incompetent, and given the numerous negative reviews, I bet the doctor isn't any better.Avoid this place at all costs!

Don't waste your time or money!
Don't waste our time or money!At my first & only visit. She came into the room and didn’t introduce herself. She seemed very angry. She asked questions and when I tried to answer them, she cut me off. She was in the room for less than 5 minutes. I've never received such treatment from a doctor before. She has the worst manners and doesn’t care about her patient’s health. She was very rude and doesn’t listen to your concerns. She makes you feel like an inconvenience.

Not Friendly
I should have believed the review's! I was disappointed with my first visit, she is not friendly at all! She won't look at you when you are speaking, she would cut me off when I was trying to let her know about my medical history a bit rude. I came in for my physical but will not come back if this is the treatment I will be getting. Her staff is very friendly but the Dr is not. Two Stars because of her staff.

Highly do not recommend
She is the worst doctor ever and anyone who gives her more than 1 star is lying. My review is based on her being my doctor for many years. I continue to see her because of her availability but I’ve come to realize it’s just not worth it. You will never leave her office feeling like she actually cares about you or that there’s a solution to your problems. She will always push you towards another doctor because you are not her problem. I hope one day soon she decides to get out of healthcare for the safety and well-being of her patients. I don’t understand how she’s still allowed to practice. If you care about your physical and mental health at all, do yourself a favor and find another doctor who actually cares.

Real Bad doctor…how could you not do a physical exam especially if it’s the first you are a seeing a patient. She just left the room, and did not discuss a plan of care.

I don’t like to or very often leave a poor review. I was recently hospitalized for sepsis which developed after a surgical procedure. I was referred to Dr.Adolfo to follow up a week after being released from the hospital. She not only made me feel like I inconvenienced her, but judged me when I gave her my health history and told me I came to the wrong type of doctor but that she would see me anyway. After 5 minutes of rapid fire questions she told me I would be fine and rushed me out of her office. She told ne this shouldn’t have been a physical or follow up she would just treat it like a consultation. Having an infected abscess and the infection spreading to become Sepsis is not a joke nor something to be minimized and the fact that she wouldn’t give me more than 5 minutes to reassure or help me under what I could do to further my healing process. I left my appointment frustrated and upset…

I’ve asked her to fill my prescription and she sent it to the wrong pharmacy. I asked her to make the correction and called her 7 times. Her nurse related a message saying I had to wait. I went 4 days without my blood pressure medication because she was too busy. She has the worst manners and doesn’t care about her patients health. She’s always rude and doesn’t listen to your concerns. She makes you feel like an inconvenience.

My last visit left much to be desired. I waited for about 45 minutes. When she came into the room, she made it seem like I was inconveniencing her in some way. She seemed very angry. Asks questions and when you answer them, she seems judgmental. She was in the room for less than 5 minutes. I've never received such treatment from a doctor before. I don't think she understands that patients CHOOSE their doctor. With so many reviews about her rudeness, it amazes me that she is not even attempting to change that...Terrible bedside manner. I will be taking my business elsewhere.

She is a very good doctor, what I like the most is that you do not need to go 2 times for a blood test, they call you by phone for your results, It is very fast and does not waste time, her appointments are on time and her staff are valuable excellent . I and my family are very comfortable.

She nearly killed my Mom by changing her insulin intake that she's been taken nearly 25 years. Her secretary never answers the phone. And I never met her, but from a lot of people the word (Rude) comes up every time so that's not a coincidence. Finally got my Doctor to see her. Doesn't matter what the co-pay is, Mom is never seeing that mess of a Doctor again.

Do yourself a favor and find another Internist! Having been her patient, I think she genuinely dislikes people and has a disdain particularly of men. My ex-wife, another medical professional and former patient as well, admitted her bedside is poor and was sympathetic of her rudeness to me.

*** DO NOT GO TO THIS DOCTOR!!!!*** I NEVER leave reviews but now I have to. I gave her 1 star because this review makes me. If you are even thinking about going to her- DON'T. She is the WORST doctor I have ever been to in my whole life. She needs to stay home and quit medicine before someone sues her. She has ZERO bedside manner, she is rude, lectures, judges and is so full of herself. She does not let her patient talk- she just angrily types her notes into her file on her computer. It's like you are wasting her precious time with your pitiful problems. Her staff seems stressed out and angry- which I would also be if I worked with someone so horrible. She is not a doctor. She's just obviously in it for the money. Her license needs to be taken away ASAP!!!

Doctor Adolfo, saved my life, I had been on Diabetes medicine for over 10 years, one day, I stood up in the aisle on a SW airline, I passed out, landing on my face, I woke up with flight attendants helping me and a Doctor on board helping me. When I got back to Las Vegas, My Doctor Friend Doctor Arita, recommended, Doctor Adolfo, I went to see her. The fist thing she did, was take a blood sample and after her review while I was still there, Doctor Adolfo, said I was not a Diabetic and told me to not to take all the medicine I had been taking. Within 24 hours, I felt better then I had in years and I never felt light headed again. I thank god for Doctor Adolfo, that was 5 years ago and I am in great health. She is a wonderful Doctor.

Maria Adolfo is the rudest and worst doctor I have met . My mother is 89 years old and she is her primary doctor. We visited her multiple times and I can only remember one good visit out of those. In most visits, she will ask a question and while you are explaining , she will interrupt and will keep talking over you and a couple of times , I asked her to let me finish so she can fully understand the situation but to no avail. I regret on giving this doctor the benefit of the doubt. Maria Adolfo does not deserve the title of a doctor. She does not have the compassion , humility and professionalism. She is a disgrace to the profession.

The WORST doctor I have EVER encountered. She was rude and CRUEL to my mother and grandmother. She spent 10 minutes insulting us and talking over us. After waiting patiently for the insult fest to end, I asked her my question. Her response was not helpful at all. Not only was she a terrible doctor, it was also a moment where I genuinely realized that there are some terrible people in the world.
