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.

Dedicated for years.
Dr. Cardona has been my PCP since we moved to CA when I was about 11yrs old I am now turning 40 yrs old that alone should speak volumes. He has been our Family MD as well. Why? His care is from the heart and you feel it each visit. Dr. Cardona listens to get to the root of the problem and he is not a pill pusher. He monitors your condition closely, refers you out when needed. He is so full of knowledge and teaches well. His staff is very helpful as well. I never have a problem at appointments my family and I usually make appointments for when they first open at 7:00 A.M. All that being said I would recommend My Doctor to anyone.

They do not answer phone or call back if you leave a message. I have to drive down there to talk to them or change an appointment. I have passed by Dr Cardona in the office one time but have only ever been examined by a CNP. You have to be seen in order to refill prescriptions. Trying to get referrals is ridiculous. I have been attempting to get to a pulmonologist for 3 years and they keep messing up the paperwork, or give authorization to MDs who don't take my insurance any more.

Honest reviewer in Fresno, CA – Jul 19, 2018
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Cardona?
The sad thing about some doctor clinics is that they have horrible staff service. As a Public Health Major, emphasizing in Health Administration, (graduating this year at Fresno State), I feel that doctors need to hold themselves accountable for their poorly behaved staff. The front end office staff is extremely rude and unprofessional. No regards for the patients time/question and no customer services. We are paying for our care, treat us with some respect! We pay for your job as well!

During the 18 months Dr. Cardona was my PCP, I visited the office every month to pick my Rx. I saw the Dr. ZERO times. On 20 May 2016, after telling the Isabel Lee RN CNP, that I had gotten a Medical Marijuana ID (MMJID) Card, which is 100% Legal in the State of CA, I was discharged as a patients for not asking her "permission" prior to obtaining the aforementioned MMJID. Dr. Cardona works FOR my ex-husband's 501(c)3 so my ex has access to my Medical info hardcopy & digital w/out my permission

I wish I could give a negative star. Went to see Dr. Cardona about my chronic pain, had to get a Dr note. He didn't knowing I was still in the waiting room, he was talking about me. So unprofessional. Plus staff never answers the phone. Do yourself a favor and run! From this quack.

Absolutely horrible service. Level of communication is less than 1 star. They don't follow through, they order incorrect MRIs and then don't send them to the specialist, they never call you back, they never even answer the phone. Don't go to these clowns!
