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.


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.
