Dr. Jose Villarreal, MD

Rude and degrading

SO FAR VERY GOOD AS I HAVE SEVERE PAIN FROM AN ACCIDENT TA PARKING LOT 3300 N YARBROUGH....

I’m a long time CCP (chronic pain patient) of Dr. Villarreal’s. I’ve always been treated with the utmost respect & courtesy by everyone in the office, even on my bad days when I’m not so respectful or courteous (shame on me). When other specialty doctors (Ortho/neuro/rheumatologist) kicked me to the curb, he and his staff picked me up and got to work on finding best treatments for me. It took some trial and error, about a year, but he and his PA’s outstanding care & concern enabled me to work an additional 17 years until my retirement. He also makes referrals to other specialist as needed to ensure any and all health issues are diagnosed properly and documented, checks my progression or regression (am I worse or better, are there new health issues) to ensure I am receiving the appropriate treatments for what is ailing me. I’ve literally never had a doctor like him before, whom actually listens, doesn’t assume, but actively pursues the answers/diagnosis so I’ll get the right care.

Dr. Villareal are an exceptional team of medical professionals who are kind, considerate, caring, and very knowledgeable in the field of pain management. I am forever grateful I chose to seek his help.

My personal physician referred Dr. Villarreal to me due to problems caused by issues in my cervical spine. I had heard from colleagues that getting an appointment with a pain management specialist could sometimes be a long wait. My request for an appointment was given for within a few days. The did all admission paperwork days before my appointment time. Once I arrived on my appointment date there was a very short wait in the office lobby before I was seen. Throughout my initial contact with the doctor and his support staff I was thoroughly pleased with the care and concern everyone showed me. On the date of my procedure I arrived one half hour before the appointed time. The doctor was running a little early so I was ushered in and the procedure started shortly thereafter. I was out and back at home before the anticipated 2 hours processing time. I could not be more satisfied with Dr. Villarreal and his office staff. My experience was totally positive from start to finish.

Dr. Villarreal is knowledgeable, professional and caring. On my initial visit, he listened attentively to my concerns and asked questions directly related to my specific pain and offered options for treatment. On the day of the procedure, the entire staff attended to my needs in a timely and professional manner. The doctor and staff were courteous at all times.

Dr Villareal doesn’t seem to have the patience best interest in mind. I have a St Jude’s Stimulator that is MRI compatible however it failed after only 5 months however he would not authorize for it to be removed and replaced because they were able to get it to function woot being MRI compatible or having all features. When I asked for it to be replaced he fired me as his patient. I would not recommend him to anyone.

He just fired me after being my doctor for years. I wasn't even given an explanation or a referral. I went into the office for an explanation and was told I would get a letter in 2-3 day. Still waiting for letter. I'm really disappointed.

If you are looking for a medical care that meet your health needs then contact Dr. Villareal . I have been seen Dr. Villareal and his nurse practitioner for sometime now. The first time I met them I was very pleased on how they explained to me in a clear language my health condition. When you are in so much pain you look for comfort and medical support. Both are always there to provide the medical support you need. In addition, the medical assistants and front-desk staff are friendly.

Dr. Villarreal just fired me after being my doctor for ten years. No explanation except a reference to a clause in something he said he gave me. If you have another choice, go elsewhere.

I didn't get far enough to make an appointment with the receptionist. She asked for my insurance card number and i said I would get it which took me 5 seconds but she said for me to call back once I had my card . I called back 5 seconds later and she put me on hold for 10 minutes. I called back and the same thing, I just gave up. Good way to lose business. She needs customer services training or another job.

I was in excruciating pain from spinal stenosis that was growing worse by the day. Dr Villareal performed two epidurals within a few days. The procedures went well and by the next morning the pain was totally gone. Dr Villareal is highly skilled and experienced. Outstanding staff as well! Sure beats surgery.

This company herds u thru like cattle. Not a caring atmosphere. I've only seen Doc. once, they then have nurses see you. He reduced my pain Rx to the point I'm in nearly constant pain. I live more than an hour away. Bad Dr. Try & find diff Dr to treat you.

I in fact put the wrong date for my very first appointment and when I called they re-scheduled me for a later time that same day. The staff was very professional and friendly and helpfull Dr. Villareal was caring and personable. He explained my condition to me in a way that was easy to understand and actually discussed several options with me. This hasn't happened before. I highly recommend this doctor and his staff! They are all to a person fantastic

Excellent experience. The staff was courteous and very professional. Facilities were clean, and wait was reasonable considering the number of patients. Dr. Villareal took his time with me and explained everything in detail. He answered all my questions and put me at ease. Would definitely use him again for back injections.

Everyone was extremely courteous. I had no problems getting an appointment, upon arrival I was met with friendly receptionist, which I find is not always the case. The wait time was shorter than I had expected. The nurses were gracious as I am always trying to cut up with them & sometimes they act like you are a bother, but they were kind enough to indulge me & even cut up with me. Dr. Villarreal was pleasant, answered my questions, gave me options then planned out the best course of action.

Waste of time. A lot of paperwork for nothing. He only assumes you want meds. He doesn't offer any suggestions or help. He wrote he suggested exercise and physical therapy to make himself look good. He never suggested any such thing. Complete Phony. I would not recommend to anyone nor would I trust his judgment. He doesn't even listen to you. His mind is elsewhere. It was very uncomfortable there, very hot place. We wasted 3 hours waiting, filling out paperwork etc.. for Nothing.

Listens well; very courteous and friendly; knowledgeable about issues of pain and treatment

Quick to assume you are pill seeking. I do not trust his opinion
