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 Goyeneche answered all my questions and provided the options available for my treatment. He was very courteous and kind and listened to my concerns.

My visit was very easy. Scheduling appointment was smooth and easy as well as next to no wait time to see the doctor. I find Dr. Goyeneche to explain everything in terms that are easy to understand.

Dr. Goyeneche is the first doctor to ever call me personally to check on me. I appreciate his caring demeanor, but I'm especially thankful that my shoulder no longer hurts and I don't need surgery.

Dr. Goyeneche is very knowledgeable and professional. He came highly recommended to my daughter for treatment due to a concussion. Dr. Goyeneche demonstrated good care, observation, and listening skill in performing various tests to evaluate my daughter's injury. She left the office feeling understood, reassured and well informed of what to expect, and the importance of "resting the brain" post concussion. I appreciated this very much. I super love my daughter's brain! Thank you, Doc.

I was recommended to Dr. Goyeneche by someone who had a similar issue (elbow pain). I thought Dr. Goyeneche was very thorough in his examination and that he correctly diagnosed the problem. He treated the pain with a steroid shot, using ultrasound to guide the injection. I was very impressed with his expertise. He was easy to talk with and communicated well. Overall I was very pleased with the visit and the outcome.

Quiet, reserved and did not share much. What he did share was very matter of fact. He was not too informative to me. Even though I knew his father (a neighbor) he did not open up to me and let me know what is goin on like other patients' reviews.
