I always have a great experience with Dr. Fuentes and his staff.
Great job. Very pleased with doctor and staff. Discuss conditions and medical records.
Very professional and helpful. Good job dealing with my issues.
Wonderful experience with Dr. Fuentes and his staff.
Team is very warm positive and receptive. I feel better after each visit
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.
It was excellent.
Everything is fine.
great
Great, caring provider.
Check in had myself and associate separated by 2 computer monitors. I could only see/hear her through about a 1 inch space between the 2.
Everything was very good, it was very good.
Always a good experience when we have our appointments with Dr.Fuentes
Stellar treatment, all staff, Drs Best cardiologist and I highly recommend Dr Fuentes!
Dr. Fuentes and his entire staff and the residents are all very easy to talk to. They listen well and they explain stuff to you in terms that as a patient we can understand and they're all very considerate.
They were knowledgeable about my injury they were friendly, kind Great team .
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.
Everyone from the front desk to Elaine with check out was pleasant and helpful.
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.
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.
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.
Dr. Fuentes is very knowledgeable and the personal is very helpful.
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.
The staff and Dr Fuentes are wonderful people. The customer service is awesome
The staff are all very friendly, from the front desk to check out with Elaine (she is especially cheerful and pleasure to work with) the nursing staff are excellent and I love Dr. Fuentes. Thank you for all you do!
I like when I come that I don't wait a long time the staff is every nice
Looking forward to seeing how the new drugs and dosages will affect my muscle soreness. I have high hopes for a difference!
100% satisfied
I have already recommended Dr. Fuentes ans his associates to many people. The Doctor always takes time to answer all your questions, which is very reassuring. I appreciate the professionalism at each visit as well as the comprehensive care and kindness.
