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.

Great communication, caring, excellent surgeon
Dr. Fonseca spent a long time with me going over treatment options, and patiently answered all my questions. It was a difficult operation, I came to her as a second opinion after I was told by another cancer doctor that it was unresectable. The operation was difficult but she was able to get it all out. She communicated every step of the way, through my recovery and even called to check on me at home between appointments. Excellent bedside manner, very thorough. If I have anything wrong with me in the future, I am definitely going back to her.

FANTASTIC SURGEON
I was referred to Dr. Fonseca due to a mass on left adrenal gland (kidney). First appt. was with one week, robotic surgery was appropriate 2 weeks later.Office staff is life non other, constantly calling and checking Dr Fonseca personally called and checked on me and reassured me on up coming surgery. If I ever have to have surgery again I will DEFINITELY choose Dr. Fonseca to take care of me
