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.

The worst doctor who ever treated me
I spent $50 because I have a pain in my left ear after reading the results of my hearing I GET CHARGED AS YOU LIKE, then you tell me that my problem is mental bone anxiety that I have to live with this problem for the rest of my life? He never looked for alternatives nor did he explain to me what I have in my ear. But the other doctor who was the one who did my hearing test saying that I have inflammation Gary didn't even tell me that's just 'mental'

Terrible terrible doctor
This could be the worse experience at a doctor’s office I’ve had in my life. He accepts pediatric patients but has no touch to deal with them. As soon as he saw my son he looked hesitant and even though he could not perform the cleaning, he was sure to charge my insurance and me the copayment. He didn’t even spend 5 minutes with us. I’ll make sure to file a claim against him.

Highly recommended for all ear, nose and throat problems. Very professional in patient doctor communications and problem solving. Should take a look if your in the San Juan Puerto Rico area and any complications arise this is the E.N.T. to go see.
