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.

Both Dr. Terando and Alex, PA, provide excellent care and services with a heartfelt approach and concern.

This was one of the most stressful events in my life and I was extremely anxious prior to my visit bc I saw 3 other surgeons who refused to listen to my personal concerns and treat me based on my medical history. Dr. Terando is a true blessing. Her warm energy and the fact that she listened to me and heard my concerns allowed my chest tightness disappear almost bringing me to tears of relief. I'm flat and proud and I have shared my experience to friends and have highly referred Dr. Alicia Terando to all for oncology needs. I'm forever grateful to her and PA for what they've done for me. Much love and immense gratitude.
