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 take clonazepam for generalized anxiety disorder. It's a vital medication to maintain my day-to-day functioning, to say the least. Dr. Aguilar was ultra aggressive in trying to force me off this medication. I let her lower my dose once just to appease her, but when she didn't want to stop on the next visit, I put my foot down and said "NO!". She then shouted "YES, we must lower it again!" When I asked her what the medical reason she had for taking me off this essential medication, she could not think of an answer! I found out during this elevated conversation, that as long as I refused to agree to a lower dose, she couldn't lower it. Boy, we went back and forth for a minute or so before she said, "alright, you can keep your dose, but next time we are lowering it". I said, "You're and anti-benzodiazepine doctor." She said, "YES! I AM an anti-benzodiazepine doctor!" So there we have it. No comfort from her at all. The Doctrine of Suffering in full force. Bless her Catholic heart.

Terrible experience. I took my son in after a terrible incident and dr. was very inconsiderate of fragile emotions. Did not care to explain how the medication or therapy can help. Also very eagered to rush us out of there. Do not go there, you will not get the help that you need.

My experience with Dr. Aguilar at the Millennium Multi Specialty in Cerritos was the worst. My brother is mentally disabled, and we went to see Dr. Aguilar to check if he has such disability. She was very inconsiderate as the first question she asked my brother was "Do you have []" where [] is the mental disorder that my brother has. When my brother got mad hearing that, Dr. Aguilar asked me if my brother has an anger management issue. She should not have pissed off my brother in the first place
