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.

Office waiting time—minimal. His schedule is packed, don’t wait to make appt

My first visit was while I was a patient in the hospital, and thankfully I was able to continue to be followed by him over the next few difficult years. I am so great full to have been lucky enough I have had been a patient in his care.

Dr Rios is a concerned, "hands on" type of doctor, where in a day and age where people of all professions are in it for selfish gain, I feel at ease that Dr Rios serves his patients well! I highly recommend his services!
