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.

Do not recommend
If you are looking for a midwife, you probably want a non-interventionist experience with someone professional and nurturing. This is not your person. After waiting over an hour to meet with her, she was extremely passive aggressive, which was the tone of all our interactions. Because I refused a test that required me to drink large amounts of sugar (which I could not do for medical reasons), even though I notified the other midwives of this early on and I was open to alternative tests, this person made up a fake diagnosis with no basis in my health records in order to kick me out of the practice at 34 weeks pregnant. Luckily, it worked out for the best as the backup OBs were much nicer and more professional. I do not recommend this practice, not worth the headache.

I love Cris and my favorite thing about her is her unquestionable compassion for her patients. She always gives you so much attention, listens to everything you say, and never makes you feel rushed out the door!

AMAZING OBYGYN! I have been going to Cris for 4 years now and she is the most laid back and reassuring doctor. She makes you feel very comfortable and not awkward at all. She was the first gynecologist i went to when i decided to see one I felt comfortable with her right away. Would highly recommend her to others.

Cristina is caring and compassionate. She is very easy to talk to and explains everything. I would highly recommend her. The only downside is her front desk. They are not very friendly when answering the phone.

I thought this obgyn was trustworthy, caring, compassionate, excellent at explaining complex medical - the best obgyn I had seen. However, she missed a potentially life-threatening diagnosis, then blamed others and tried to cover up her mistakes. Unfortunately, I would NOT recommend.
