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.

Highly recommend!
He listens, he asks for, and values, your opinion. His explanations are very clear, without being condescending. We have never felt rushed at an appointment. He reminds us of the way doctors used to interact with patients, before the ''system' messed up so many things. His office staff are efficient and have treated us with respect and communicated well. It was well worth the wait to be able to see Dr. Carulla, and we highly recommend him, as a doctor who seems to put together the whole patient profile in order to treat in the best way.

Dr. Curulla is simply a great doctor. He will take as much time as needed to listen to you and explain all that you need . He is very knowledgeable and will not stop until he has a answer for you. He came to me from a recommendation from another doctor while I was hospitalized and I am very thankful for that. I would certainly recommend him!

Renewal of my prescription. I was seen but when I got my bill for blood work it was 700.00 dollars! My insurance wouldn't pay it because of the code. I called his office twice to talk to his nurse as Sentera billing told me to do. THEY haven't return my calls. I had to pay the bill & cancelled another Dr.'s appointment can't afford to pay visit. I am seeking another Doctor. Very POOR staff and will tell friends...you have to be careful.or just look else where!
