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.

Amazing!!
Dr. Ricardo was so incredibly kind, personable, and knowledgeable while keeping things perfectly professional. He took the time to really evaluate what I had going on to help me find the correct results and he was great with explaining everything and keeping me calm. Would highly recommend Dr. Ricardo!!

Terrible!
Agree with other reviews. This doctor is dismissive, arrogant, and not personable. He is missing some key people skills that a doctor should have. He was the most expensive of all the doctors that saw me in the ER and the one that spent the least amount of time with me; maybe 3 minutes at most! I will inform my insurance about this.

Horrible doctor
He intentionally misdiagnosed me disregarding my complains and medical history. Finally when his diagnosis was not proved by blood work results he claimed that I have made up my symptoms

This doctor is completely arrogant and incompetent! My husband had a heart attack and Dr. Ricardo tried to tell my husband there was nothing wrong with him and that he was sure it was esophagus pain. After leaving the ER because of his arrogant attitude and disregard we went to TGH where it was found my husband had a severe blockage. The doctor at TGH believe my husband was a ticking time bomb for a massive heart attack! If my husband would have listened to Dr. Ricardo he would have DIED!!!!
