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 wish no stars or negative stars would be an option here! The worse Dr. I have ever seen and I have seen many! He told me I had to have a very drastic procedure because my lab work showed that it was necessary. My friend, who is also a doctor, looked over the lab work and said that Dr. Galindo must be crazy or blind because it most definitely did not show such results! Dr. Gallindo is arrogant and obviously not fit to be called a Dr. since he cannot read basic lab results or work the patients that are in his care.

If I could leave no stars I would. Bed side manner is terrible. He does not communicate with his patients or his fellow staff members. He never updates his patients on their test results and does not explain the plan of care. He lets his interns and medical students take on all the work without ever actually meeting his patients.
