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.

Horrible!!!!
3 days of vomiting and nausea after he was informed. Couldn’t find a vein…I am vascular, poked me 3 times before finding one finally. Sloppy….marked me as a male when I am female. Indicated he dispensed medication I did not receive. Horrible bedside manner. Did not inform properly. My intuition should have said STOP I cannot proceed with this guy! I have had many surgeries under general I do have some issues with nausea but NEVER vomitng for 3 days. Thank goodness that my doctor is amazing and did beautiful breast implant replacement.

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Cardenas?
Worst anesthesiologist I have ever been exposed to, didn’t introduce himself, was rude and grumpy with me AND staff, DID NOT do what I requested ( go slow ) didn’t do pre op shot for elevated blood pressure and medicine burned the crap out of me when administering and totally ignored me. DO NOT USE THIS GUY, didn’t act like a doctor and he had an attitude. This reflects badly on the facility ( West Hills Surgery ctr .) Date 3-11-19.
