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.

I felt ashamed
He made me feel stupid and like I shouldnt have been there. He was very unproffesional and not nice at all. Very rude. Worst doctors visit I have ever had. I couldnt wait to get out of there. Wouldnt recommend him to my worst enemy.

I agree with the majority of the folks on these reviews. He is incompetent, his staff is incompetent and they are liars. He is a spoiled, entitled, little rich boy that does not know how to speak to grown men and women. He is condescending, arrogant and loves to hear himself speak. DO NOT WASTE ONE MINUTE ON THIS SO-CALLED DOCTOR! My husband has prostate cancer and the first 15 minutes with boy wonder all he tried to do is dress-down my husband and myself, like we were his children. He mocked me for asking about a procedure that I had read about online. AGAIN, DO NOT WASTE TIME WITH THIS WANNE BE!

I wish I could give 0 stars. I would not recommend dr de la paz. Treated my mother terribly. He is very rude and said he didn’t understand why we were there even tho my mother has a 10mm kidney stone. He doesn’t seem very caring nor does he know how to talk to people. My mother will not go back to him nor will she recommend him to anyone. Even if he thought she needed treatment, we will not let him treat her. This dr has 0 compassion so I give him 0 stars.

If I could rate 0 stars I would. My young adult son saw him for a sensitive issue was son has been struggling with. I attended the visit. This doctor’s lack of compassion was astonishing. He was rude and did not listen to history we were trying to present or our concerns. It was obvious he had no interest in helping my son. He left my son feeling ashamed, embarrassed and mad. Had I seen the views prior to our visit I would have cancelled. We will not be returning.

My husband has seen Dr de la Paz a few times. On his LAST visit, he overheard the Dr. YELLING at a patient in another room, scolding that patient. When the Dr came to see my husband, he scolded him. Not long after that appointment, we got a letter stating the Dr de la Paz was not taking appointments for the "day" of my husband's follow up.....I wonder why??!!!

He did 2 surgeries on me and still could not correct the problem. He left a clip in me from the first surgery that a new surgeon had to remove. This man is very difficult to consult with.

This is the rudest physician I have ever encountered. I went to see him with concern about a possible STD. He took this as an opportunity to shame me. He was dismissive and confrontational. I will not be going back to him. I wish I would have read these reviews before I scheduled an appointment.

Trust these reviews. This guy has no business being a dr. Good for him he has made it 19 years.... in my line of work a guy needs to be good at his job to keep it, while I understand you can not not please everyone, this guy pleases almost no one.... It's a shame. Do yourself a favor find another doctor. Seriously, your life could depend on it. Someone needs to start a petition and send it to whoever is in charge of killing his ability to practice.

I would recommend Dr. de la Paz for sure. He was patient with my questions and concerns. I was relaxed with him and he knew what to say to answer our concerns. The procedure went better than expected. He was honest in his explanations - not over-promising. ..... As the wife of the patient, and a nurse, I found him very helpful. He explained everything clearly. And he has a sense of humor, which helps when discussing procedures that are new to you and the patient.

Extremely busy practice which makes it difficult to seen on short notice. I found that Dr. De la Paz was warm & personable. Good patient/Doctor presence. Listened attentavely and discussed our strategy for addressing the problem.

This man has absolutely no bedside manner and is quite possibly the most rude doctor I have ever encountered. He could care less about my situation or concerns. He wants to get you in and get you out and talks down to you when you attempt to discuss things with him. I go to doctors because I need their help and want to feel well cared for and he does none of this. So disappointed.
