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.

If you call the office, be prepared to be put on hold for 20 minutes or more. Once you arrive to the office, be prepared to sit in the lobby 15 minutes to a half an hour after your appointment time. Once you get in an exam room, be prepared to wait a half an hour to an hour to actually see Dr. Argueta. ?? just beware.

this guy is running a money making scheme. He asks patients to pay for a doctor's visit just to get their blood work results when other doctors discuss results and recommendations over the phone w/o asking the patient to pay more money for a visit. He only gives you a 3 month supply of prescriptions and, again, wants you to pay more money to extend the prescription every three months. Every other doctor I have consulted with, has given me a full year prescription.

My previous doctor had retired and a dear friend recommended Dr. Argueta to me. Without an appointment I immediately found the staff to be very professional. Dr. Argueta is very pleasant and easy to talk to, he listens very carefully to what you have to say, in my case, about allergies to medications, then goes out of his way to find one that will work. Very impressive. He found an anomaly my on my first check up and took care of it on my follow-up visit. Never felt better!

I have been going to Dr. Argueta for 4 years now and I am totally satisfied with our relationship. Not only is his professional knowledge at the highest level, the way he communicates to me makes the entire doctor/patient experience stress free. My wife and children also see Dr. Argueta and will continue to do so. In today's life in the fast lane paced environment, it is essential to stay as healthy as you can. I feel Dr. Argueta always has my best interest in mind when I see him.

I would HIGHLY refer Dr. Argueta to both my family and my friends. My son Jason and I have been visiting Dr. Argueta for 5 1/2 years at his private practice in Camarillo, CA. He spends as much time necessary and listens to me and my concerns. He always knows exactly what to prescribe and never too much and never too little. We have always been going to see him, always have, always will. The office wait time is little to none. We thank you so much for your cares and concerns. Thank you.

He always listenes and is thoughtful and kind. He is proffessional and conservative in his approach so you always feel that you are getting both patient and sound advice. He works harder and longer hours in order to make himself more available to his patients. You never leave without feeling like you have gotton all your questions answered and received the care or medicin you needed.

I compression fractured my t9 vertabrae, went to the ER first. I had run out of pain killers the day before my appointment. I had 600mg Ibuprofen left, but this did not relieve enough pain for me to sleep. I had made an appointment with an attached doctors note stating my issue. After vitals and waiting 5 minutes i spoke with Raphael. He asks me whats wrong and just refers me elsewhere. They couldve told me this before I paid. He also accused me of being a drug dealer.
