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.

Stay away
Ignored or disputed symptoms, doesn't believe women need yearly mammograms, despite medical guidelines. Staff was pleasant and helpful, but unless you like man-splaining and especially gaslighting, GO SOMEWHERE ELSE. Wish I could gave graded zero stars.

Very Decent Doctor
Dr. Cardentey is a caring doctor with some unorthodox ideas but who doesn't pressure you into treatments that are unnecessary. Trusted him more than any other doctor. Unfortunately, I moved but wanted to leave a review.

I like Dr Cardentey. His staff though? Horrible. 3 times in 12 months the girls who handle refills - have screwed it up. I literally have had to drive back to his office 3x to pick up a hard copy of a prescription, because his unorganized staff cant seem to get their act together and keep my medications filled on a consistent basis - without me having to be out of my meds for 2, sometimes 3 days at a time. Made the decision today to search for a new doctor. Millenium Health group is no better. When i called on Saturday to see if I could get my situation rectified, the CSR assured me that - "the doctor on call" was going to call me right back. No call back. Just me, suffering through 2 days of a medication withdrawl syndrome. If you rely on monthly medications as I do. Find another doctor. This office will drive you crazy.

They canceled my appt twice, then finally got to the place at 10:30 ( they said my appt was at 10:15) also said they called me yesterday (it was an automated message with no information) and when I called back I got to no one. Terrible service and organization

My 88 year old mother saw Dr Cardentey & had lab tests done at his office on a Wednesday. She was to call back on Friday for the results. The symptoms continued, she was in pain & wanted to speak to the Doctor about this & the lab results. She began calling early in the morning that Friday & was told to be patient, he’d call her back. She called again at 2 & was told someone would return the call. She called again at 4:45 assuming no one would be there after 5 PM to talk to & was told the doctor had left, if she was still having issues go to one of their walk in clinics. After further review of the diagnosis "hysteria" was listed by Dr Cardentey. They were dismissing her concerns! Within 2 days her situation deteriorated & she had to be admitted to the hospital for 4 days. This was NOT hysteria. Furthermore she was a nurse for almost 50 years & will not seek treatment unless it’s extremely dire. For a Doctor to be that dismissive about a serious medical issue is unforgivable.

i am Honored to be a new patient of Dr. Cardentey. He acquired my full attention with use of the words "Functional" and Preventative" preceding the word Medicine. He radiates passion for HEALTH and the excellence it will imbue into Life .

Wouldn't take my sick dog to him. I was diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma in August every time I asked him about dry patch of skin on my cheek he said it's from the Fibromyalgia pretty much any health issues he blamed Fibromyalgia needed knee surgery both knees he says Trust me I know it's Not torn meniscus but it was. Worst Doctor I have ever had. Treatment of my boyfriend after diagnosed with Diabetes was Ridiculous

Dr. Cardentey is great... no nonsense, knowledgeable, explains well, gives good advice and doesn't try to run up costs. I had an issue trying to get an appointment. but I was finally able to get a cancellation. Thank god, I was hurting. The Dr. made a quick, accurate diagnosis, wrote an Rx and cleared my problem up in a couple days.

He seems to be nice enough; however, i am quite displeased about how he seems to rush through my appts with him. He charged my medicare $400 for visit he did nothing extra in. He lso complained that i "made him work too hard" when i asked for a med easier to swallow, a renewal of a Rx and referral to a dr since prev one quit practice...really?????
