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.

Problems with the Receptionist answering your calls, then claiming having to talk to the Doctor first, and promising to call you back with the requested results. But instead never calling you back, or returning your calls! I am on seizure medication (Topomax and Vimpat), and I am required to take these Medication on a regular scheduled basis. I am on Medicare & Tri-Care for life ( with Express Scripts Mail Order Pharmacy), and it requires a Doctor's confirmation & authorization for my regular refills, but they never follow through, even when the Pharmacy, or I call them to let them know that I'm running out of my Meds!

If I could score zero stars I would. Can never get a hold of the front desk to make an appointment. Finally called Heritage Medical Group for help and Dr. Bernales retaliated by deciding that we should find another doctor for my mother. Thank you for the Rx refill Dr. Bernales, but shame on you for the way you are handling this ongoing problem with your reception desk. I worked in medical clinics for 15 years and the worst medical offices were those where the doctors wife is involved in the day to day operations.
