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.

Friendly, great with kids, helpful to worries pare
We have been seeing Dr. Vallarta for the last four years after leaving a disorganized pediatrician in the West End. Dr. Vallarta is sweet and kind when speaking to my elementary aged children (one boy, one girl) to empower them to speak up for themselves, developing a healthy relationship with their doctor. He listens to them, listens to me, makes suggestions and has tons of data that he draws upon to explain the latest science behind child development. I'm grateful for his thoughtful and patient approach.

Excellent Doctor!
We love Dr Vallarta! He takes his time to answer all our questions and concerns. He has been absolutely marvelous during the pandemic. He takes time to talk directly to our son. We couldn’t ask for a better doctor!

Have been seeing Dr. Vallarta since our son was born and continue to prioritize him over his colleagues. He provides honest and thoughtful evidence-based feedback on all our new parent concerns. He knows both the best practices and emerging research and findings, which not all doctors stay aware of. He is kind and always makes time for us. Really grateful we found him.

Always took the time to explain conditions and treatments to me and to my kids. Listened to my concerns. Aggressive in seeking needed therapies and referrals for the kids.

Doesn't listen to parent's concerns, or ideas. Rushed in, rushed out. Charged for an expanded visit, but only spent a couple minutes in the room. Made mistake on Rx at pharmacy.
