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.

All-around fantastic internist!
First, I love that you get her office when you call, not some switchboard, and that her staff is always very caring. Second, I’m very grateful that Dr. Ovella fits me into the schedule that day when symptoms are worrisome. She always takes her time with me and is very thorough, always carefully explaining everything to me in terms I can grasp. She is an excellent physician and she genuinely cares about her patients.

Dr. Ovella is very thorough and listens to your issues as you see them. Another thing that I like is that she doesn't overbook her appts. You never have to wait to see her more than 15 minutes.

Dr. Ovella is one of THE best doctors I have had in my 67 yrs. She’s extremely through in her assessments . She doesn’t jump the gun with recommending any specialist until she has done all that she could to diagnose or find the problem. She’s damn good at what she does not to mention she takes all the time needed to check you out, and answer whatever questions you may have. She NEVER rushes you no matter how many patients she has. She provides her undivided attention to you when she’s in the room with you. If you have to call for anything, her nurse is always back with you that same day. I just can’t say enough about her trustworthiness and I put my life in her hands. It’s just a shame that ALL doctors are not like her. They can take a few lessons from her.
