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 alarcio was the only Neuologist that took the time to try to figure out the main source of my son’s seizures. She fought for him when he needed surgery and has continued to support us as a family for the last 3 years. Sometimes we have an extended wait when we come see her, however I KNOW we are waiting because some other patient needs her the same way we do, and if we needed extra time for whatever reason she gladly gives it. I happily wait however long I need to make sure my son gets to see her!

Horrible experience !!!!!!!Do never go there. That doctor will make you do a lot of test (very pricey and unnecessary). Then she will never have time to discuss them with you. Her assistant Tanya is even worse, she is arrogant and not responsible. Never return a phone call and makes decisions for your appointments without letting you know. When you tell them that appointment is not working for you she says that it is the only choice. Do never go there. Horrible experience!

When no other Dr could figure out what was wrong with our son, she did. She is more through and detailed in her accessment than any Doctor we have ever seen. She listens to everything you have to say and truly understands that she is treating a whole child, not just the sick part of them. After years of spinning our wheels, we begain to see profound improvements with Dr. Alarcio.
