Quick and efficient care from everyone. I am especially happy with having easy access to providers and prompt responses. Not happy about the long walk to access the building due to closure of valet lanes.

They were knowledgeable about my injury they were friendly, kind Great team .


Jan 23, 2025

Maybe it was me, but it was stifling hot in the waiting room and even the exam room. I did not have heavy clothes on.


Jan 17, 2025

Everyone from the front desk to Elaine with check out was pleasant and helpful.


Jan 10, 2025

Exceptional physician. Takes time to be sure you understand your test results and listens to any and all feedback. Up to date on any new developments regarding heart care.


Jan 9, 2025

I have always been fond of Dr. Fuentes and his ability to treat me through the years. He is always kind, positive, but very thorough. I am to see him again in six months. He did send me to the lab for blood work, even though he was aware that I had not been fasting. I had eaten a sweet roll from the cafeteria hospital and my results were not as good as before. Hopefully, the tests that will be scheduled before my return visit, will be better.


Jan 7, 2025

I love Dr. Fuentes. He's such a big, manic doctor. He knows what to tell you. He does it in such a nice way. He's a great doctor.


Jan 7, 2025

Dr. Fuentes is very knowledgeable and the personal is very helpful.


Jan 2, 2025

The physician was okay, that's why I put a 10, but the people in the front desk, they don't, it seems like they don't take time to look at the insurance and appointments and everything the way it's supposed to be done. So please call me back and I would be more specific about it.
