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.

My family doctor insisted I go to the emergency room. It was a holiday weekend and she didn’t want me to be home alone Dr. Medina took excellent care of me diagnosed me with in a few hours and I was able to go home in the afternoon He couldn’t have been any nicer.

I ended up in the Saddleback ER after leaving an Urgent Care that did not have the ability to administer IV. I was extremely dehydrated from a stomach bug that knocked me off my feet. I expected the ER to be busy and folks to be grumpy, given it was Christmas Eve. Not the case, Dr Medina seemed truly concerned, ran a number of tests to rule out serious problems and knew I had to get home to my son. Got me feeing better and expedited my exit, very friendly, pleasant, knowledgeable and effective.

In a emergency visit He seemed concerned, focused on my problem. He Preformed Tests rather than just give me pills and say go see your Primary asap. Dr. Medina called, researched and directed me to outside future Dr. he had called and explained my problem after ER testing.
