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.

Of all my doctors, he is my favorite.
Dr. Bustos is the only doctor I have that doesn’t make me feel like he’s in a rush to move onto the next patient. He listens and includes me in the decision-making process. He makes me a part of the healing process. He’s quiet and patient. I love Dr. Bustos.

Don't Bother. Find another Doctor!
I left in more pain than when I got there. In tears. I pray that I can find a caring doctor that can help me with my pain. If I could give this person and his office a -5 I would.

Lazy as dogs....
Lazy office staff. With no other patients in the waiting room or an examining rooms. Still had to wait for close to an hour my medical transportation had already shown up so I had to leave. Without seeing the nurse practitioner no doctor on premises....

He appears to care and to intent to treat but in fact is ineffective and has no idea what his staff is doing. Went in for MRI results on a Friday, was told my rx would be called into pharmacy that day. Nothing to help me over a long holiday weekend with a crushed disc, in moderate to severe pain. This IS NOT a pain clinic, they could care less. I am 55 years old and really needed help. I didnt get it.

Dr. Bustos is the first doctor that understood that I did not want drugs as my only option for pain management. He listened and cared about what I had to say.
