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.

Amazing!
love him!I went to ER because I had some chest pain, they run all kinds of tests and he came to tell me that my heart was great, and then he asked if he could check by back then pointed out I had a huge knot in my back that it was causing by pain, but which also gave me immediate relief. After a week I got a call from him to see how I was doing. which I think is really nice. He has excellent manners and just amazing!

love him!
had severe back pain and he calmly touched my neck area after getting permission and then pointed out i had a huge knot and right then and there started doing some pressing which was sorta painful (where he was pressing on) but which also gave me immediate relief (for the rest of my back). when i asked him how he knew how to do that, he just said he has a background in sports medicine. he has magic hands, impeccable bedside manners and just amazing!

Went to ER for extreme abdominal and back pain. Dr. Arce took his time, provided comfort and was very thorough ordering tests and explaining results, treatment and future care. I’m so thankful he was the Doctor that attended to me. This whole ordeal was very stressful being that this was my first ER experience. Thank you Sharp for Doctors like him.

My Guardian Angel with kind eyes!
Friday 7/7/23 I woke my husband at 2am telling him there was something seriously wrong…severe abdominal pn,left lower back pn, chills for the last 4 hrs. It was a 2 hr wait to get a bed, but in the meantime my blood was drawn and urinalysis was done. When Dr Arce walked in I knew immediately that everything was going to be okay. I felt God’s peace and comfort cover me. An abdominal CT scan was done then an ultrasound was needed to make my diagnosis.Dr Arce explained that surgery for me wasn’t needed at this time and explained my home care treatment. In 2 weeks I have an appointment with my OBGYN.Dr Arce’s kind eyes, kind voice and confident manner were a true blessing.Thank you so much for all your hard work. You are a true Guardian Angel to all of us patients who are in deep pain and need of care in our scariest hour of need.Thank you again from the bottom of my heart.(Side note I was the pt who returned from Portugal. Please visit Madeira, Portugal it is magical!)

Dr Arce is a very competent and calm ER physician. He cared for my husband at the Red Bluff hospital. Dr Arce treated my husband for ventricular tachycardia. I would highly recommend Dr. Arce and the ER team at the Red Bluff hospital.
