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.

knowleagble, friendly and highly efficient
He greeted me with respect and made me feel comfortable during the visit. He was straightforward but put me at ease after I had come into the office with anxiety about my condition. He is quite a gentleman and a specialist in one. I am so glad I came to see him. Thanks!

I'm a nurse and I needed to get my first routine screening colonoscopy. I really wasn't looking forward to it (does anyone?) Dr. Machicado is so personable, kind, knowledgeable and professional that it was a snap. I can't say that I'm looking forward to having another one but I certainly won't fear it in the future.
