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.

Another doctor who doesn't listen
I saw Dr Macias a few times many years ago, and thought he was a good and attentive PCP. I got Pres insurance and went back to see him for some really unusual symptoms that had been lasting about 3 months. Initially he was attentive and helpful, and ran tests. But then he became increasingly obstructive, and unhelpful, and I literally had to beg him to test me for nucleocapsid COVID antibodies given that I have been presenting with many signs and symptoms similar to long covid. He insisted that the spike antibody test would be fine, even though this is factually incorrect information. According to the CDC, the COVID vaccines target the spike glycoprotein, thus the spike test would only show that I had vaccine antibodies. I needed the nucleocapsid antibody test. Even when I provided him with the CDC information he continued to say I was wrong. We already have enough doctors who engage in gaslighting. I do not recommend him.

BEST of the BEST!
Dr. Macias is my Primary Care Manager. I see him frequently, both virtually and in-office visits. Any time I need a referral to a specialist he takes care of it within minutes and has gone above and beyond to ensure my healthcare needs are met. Not only that, he is exceptionally professional, concerned, and open and approachable about your healthcare. He's a consummate doctor, but at the same time a person who explains to you the nature of any concerns and allows you to be involved in your health care. The review title says it all. If you're ever lucky enough to be seen by him, you won't go anywhere else. AMAZING!!!

Dr. Macias is very knowledgeable and personable. Has been the best primary doctor my husband and I have ever had and we have had several. We have been in to see him and then went to see a specialist and specialists agree with Dr. Macias primary diagnosis. Really good doctor.

My daughter and I have been seen by Dr. Macias for a few years now and I would not change him as my Primary Doctor for the world. He is very thorough and gives you all of his attention. Not once have I ever been misdiagnosed by Dr. Macias unlike doctors that I have seen at the same location in the past.
