The best! 100% recommend
Excellent care. Clean facilities. Friendly, respectful, and efficient staff.
I love everybody at this office. They’re very welcoming, I get top-notch care and I really believe everybody’s after a common goal which is the best interest of the patient.
Efficient and friendly staff. Very helpful, knowledgeable.
My husband and I have been going here for about 25 years. They are always friendly, on time and professional, from Mary Jo at the front desk to every single staff member. Dr Tostado is wonderful, knowledgeable with extreme attention to detail. He communicates every aspect of your care. He makes us feel comfortable Dr. Acuna gave me my numbing medicine on my last visit and I didn’t feel any discomfort during its administration and afterwards. She was excellent and was so gentle. They are upfront with all aspects of your care, very ethical and we have never been disappointed. The office is beautiful too, very calm and very clean. I would recommend this practice all the time.
