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 Horrible place and Doctor
I have issues with hearing and my vision and my wife accompanies me to every dr appt because of said problems. Dr Pulido threw my wife out of the exam room and told her unless I have dementia, she is not allowed in with me. He called me a child, while I am a senior citizen in great amount of pain from a broken neck. He kept saying he does prescribe pills, he is not a pain management clinic although the website says he is. All he wanted to do was force me into agreeing to do neck injections and when I said I wanted to talk to my wife about it, he threw his hands in the air, said BYE and walked out the door. I waited 2 hours past my appt time to be seen and then disrespected by not only him but his office staff. I wasn’t even allowed to urinate without an audience and I was only there for a consultation. Many people came in sat down and within 5 minutes left with a prescription for pain meds without seeing a doctor.

Great pain care doctor
I have had chronic lower back pain and went through 3 disc fusion surgery that solved the underlying problems but created SI joint problem and some lower back pain. He performed the spinal cord stimulator that helped a lot but still had the SI joint problem. He then performed the Radio Frequency Abalation that solved all my back problems. He was very helpful in getting that done about two months ago.

It was straight forward, Dr Pulido and I discussed the issues I was experiencing in recovering from multiple ankle surgeries. He explained what treatments could be administered then laid out a specific pain treatment plan that he thought would most beneficial.
