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.

Very Subtle and Highly Competent
Dr. B. is not part of the eisenhower program. He is board certified at eisenhower and he can see all you records. He asked me something about my law practice(retired trial lawyer) and I know fro his question is he widely read and knows a lot about a lot. His office is old fashioned and he runs his practice the old way without electronics and passwords. I love that about him, but it may infuriate many pts.

The kindest, most present doctor anywhere, ever!
I have been a patient of Dr Batase since August 10, 2020. He saw me in person in the worst moments of the pandemic. He diagnosed me in ten minutes with a very rare disease that had been the plague of my life since birth. He has patiently brought me to good health and continues to be a source of knowledge and encouragement. He is a very busy doctor caring for so many patients that desperately need him. When I was still sick all the time, he was there for me. Now that I'm so much better, I see him less often, but he's no less present and interested and helpful during our appointments. He's well loved throughout the medical community. When you mention his name to anyone, nurse or doctor or patient, they smile and talk about how much they think of him.

Dr. Batarse is a talented, kind and knowledgable Nephrologist. I have a rare disease that's been misdiagnosed for 14 plus years. Dr. Batarse had a potential diagnosis within 10 minutes, and i had a successful treatment plan within 2 months of testing and trying various combinations of medications. The staff treat me with respect and especially when I was still have scary episodes of illness. Dr. Batarse always returned my phone calls, even on Saturday mornings when I was sick and really scared. On top of all that, he has a great personality and a sense of humor. I don't know what else he could possibly do to improve. If your illness effects your kidney in any easy, you want Dr. Batarse to guide your treatment and recovery.

When we went. There was a nurse who did the low blood iron blood infusion. She was good. The other was not a nurse but nurse prationer. Instead of thoroughly checking mothers leg and examining, she put her hand under it for five seconds Like checking run in stocking. Turns out mother had infected ulcers-could Have died or lost her leg.. Call Dr. Alvarado in PS, PD. Top flute nephrologist. Rosa the receptionist is nice, answering service-You bet your life.
