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.

I appreciate her
I can say she is very knowledgeable and does not pass judgement. She listens to natural approaches to problems and is open to alternative approaches alongside her medicinal advice. I appreciate bluntness, especially in the medical profession. That approach may not work for everyone but it aligns with how I receive information. I find her to be kind and I appreciate her non fake bedside manner. Her authenticity is refreshing in my opinion. And it makes me trust what she says more because I know she isn’t trying to appease my emotions but rather has my child’s best interest in mind. Because in the end, what matters is our children’s health and not our emotions. The appointment is for them, not to make us feel better. If I’m doing something wrong she will tell me and I am grateful for that.

Do not recommend
Dr. Laura Frontera did not take the time to fully review my daughter's symptoms to make a proper diagnosis. No tests were run because the lab was closed so she just prescribed my daughter antibiotics without having any idea whether her infection was bacterial or viral. She was extremely vague, unfriendly and I felt rushed. I took her to the ER so they could run tests. It turns out she had a viral infection all along and is on the way to recovery without the need of antibiotics. I do not recommend this doctor.

terrible bedside manner
We have had to see Dr. Frontera on occasion for sick visits when Dr. Rincon is not available (Dr. Rincon is an amazing compassionate doctor). Dr. Frontera does not take time to build rapport with kids or parents. She is blunt, no bedside manner, does not seem interested in listening or problem solving for children who are fearful of needles or procedures. I am not sure why she chose pediatrics as a profession because lacks empathy and the skill set to connect with children.

Got in because of a first time consultation and left with post traumatic stress for all the nonsense this "physician" said after 5 minutes of reviewing my child's screening. This lady has issues she should take care before, her bitterness shows she does not care about attending children, does not know how to address or explain a situations, and on top of all, her attitude and rudeness make parents uncomfortable and imposes her demanding to the point of feeling threatened.

The facility, office staff and nurses are great, but this specific physician is disrespectful and has a poor attitude. She clearly has a bias that truly reflects as unprofessional. Not at all what I would expect or want in a health care provider, especially for children and adolescents. In a doctoring profession, there is no excuse for this to be the legacy you leave in patient interactions. Perhaps she should consider research.

She is awful with kids, rude, and incompetent. I'm genuinely surprised someone like her even finished medical school. She clearly went into pediatrics for the money. I highly recommend you stay away from her.

I've seen Dr Frontera a few times when I needed to see the first available dr. Her bedside manner is terrible and she generally is not kid friendly. I have asked not to see her again as it was an unpleasant experience and I'd advise you do the same. On the contrary, Dr Villar is amazing!!! But she's always busy so you need to schedule an appointment well in advance.
