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.

Dr. Does not listen to everything you have to say and when you tell her it hurts how she's touching you she completely ignores the part of the body she's disturbing with the pain. Almost like her trying to make it work when it's injured Very disappointed.

Dr. Nunez is my brother's Neurologist as he is in the Neuro-ICU at PB Grdens Medical Center as I write this. He was brought to the ER, and very suddenly became ill. All of us, his family, lives long distance so until I can travel to visit, we're taking comfort knowing everything possible is being done for him. All of his nurses have such high regard for Dr. Nunez, and she is taking such excellent care of him. I hope to meet her when I travel to see him.

I found Dr Nunez over a year ago. Her entire staff have been wonderful to me. Marcia, is the voice of 1st impressions when she answers tHer kind voice is there to help patients with scheduling and answers to questions. Gisselle, her nurse, listens, and is always there to help. Dr Nunez listens patiently, is forward thinking and willing to help always. I have a rare spinal fluid illness x 10 yrs and these caring people are a godsend. I am a nurse of many years, now suffering myself Ty ??

I have been to many neurologists due to suffering with migraines since 14. Dr Nunez is very knowledgeable and up to date with all new treatment. I found her to be easy to talk to and I never felt rushed, stupid or unimportant like other doctors have made me feel in the past.

My son had an appointment for over a week. Spoke with the receptionist several times. 15 minutes BEFORE the scheduled appointment, the office called and said that the Dr. could not see my son because he was 16 and she does not see patients that young. Fine , but calling 15 minutes prior, when they knew that from the beginning. Their excuse was that the girl was new. How about poor office communication. I was not happy and that is very unprofessional. I would not go there!
