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.

Dr. Luna was very informative. He asked a lot of questions and listened and responded thoroughly to my questions.

Dr. Luna strikes the balance b/w professional & also a person (too hard for so many doctors). His concern & his professionalism are both authentic.

The NP I started my appointment with was amazing. However, I quickly realized that Dr. Luna was not going to listen to me. I had to fight for him to listen to me, and eventually, he ordered tests. He left out how much these tests would cost, so now I'm saddled with thousands of dollars in medical bills. I have no desire to see this doctor ever again because even after all of that he provided no discussion or suggestions on how to improve my health.

Luna has a very high regard of himself but a terribly low regard for the intelligence or the ability of comprehend anything by this patient! Very arrogant and rude. Basically it is "his way or the highway" When I asked a question regarding a recommendation he gave he immediately said "if I did not want to take his advice then I was wasting his time and I should leave"! I did not indicate I was not taking his advice, I simply asked a question which, after scolding me for 5 minuets, he did answer. He want on to tell me his patient rating was above all but 2 other doctors and he did not need me there as there were many other people which listened to him waiting for a cancellation so they could get an appointment. I have never met a Doctor like that in all my life.

Dr. Luna was seeing my Father for a while, Dr. Luna was very rude, and uncompassionate to him. He gave my Dad advice on his diet...which Dad followed as closely as he could, and when his blood pressure was taken at his last visit, the Dr. rudely implied that Dad hadn't followed his advice, and that's why his blood pressure was up. He told Dad that he needed to walk more, and I understand that, but when Dad said that it really hurts his hip to walk up hill, the Dr. acted frustrated with him, and

I HAVE BEEN PATIENT OF DR LUNA FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS. HE IS AN OUTSTANDING PHYSICIAN, HAS ALWAYS BEEN PROFESSIONAL, PROVIDES HELPFUL INFORMATION AND FOLLOWS MY HEALTH HISTORY CLOSELY. HE WELCOMES MY QUESTIONS, TAKES TIME TO LISTEN TO ANY CONCERNS THAT I HAVE AND ADDRESSES THEM IMMEDIATELY. I WOULD RECOMMEND HIM WITHOUT HESITATION TO EVERYONE.

Abrupt personality. 1st visit went very well ,was very pleased. Dr. Luna didn't explain instructions on care clearly the first visit, on the second visit his comments were "I am wasting my time here". Needless to say we are switching cardiologist.
