Verified patient
Very nice, she paid attention to all my needs. Very professional.
Incorrectly billed - still trying to sort out months later.
She was so patient and willing to explain everything.
Dr Molinares charges for services that were not requested. If she identifies a mark o issue in your annual physical, she will charge as extra consultation what it is supposed to be part of the physical in order to get more from insurance. But, you ended up paying what the insurance does not covered. I received my bill 8 months after the office visit. Some of the charges was billed as separate problem when it was supposed to be part of the annual physical. She tries to sell you products as part of patient medication plan to solve any health problem which makes you doubt of ther diagnostic.
Staff was great, nurse was very friendly and knowledgeable. Doctor was worth the wait to see spent plenty of time explaining a good game plan for me.

Dr. Molinares is one of the most compassionate and caring doctors that I have ever had. Her expertise, healthcare suggestions, alternative medicine ideas and bedside manner are all terrific. She is now my 10 year old's son primary doctor because we love her care so much. She is truly a wonderful and and insightful doctor. I recommend her to anyone looking for a new and gifted physician, because she is truly a wonderful FAMILY doctor.
Verified patient
I was looking for a new primary care physician and found Dr. Molinares on my insurance providers website. After my first visit (for an annual physical) I can honestly say that Dr. Molinares spent more time with me than any of my previous doctors had. She asked relevant questions and expressed genuine concern. These attributes are unfortunately disappearing in modern healthcare. Overall, I am very happy with how my first visit went. Also, being able to book an appointment online is a fantastic plus.
Very upbeat and personable. Very knowledgeable and answered all our questions. I highly recommend this amazing Doctor. :-) :-) :-)

I needed a new family doctor. I found Dr. Molinares on ZocDoc. I have a very hectic schedule at the moment and the office hours work well with my needs. Both the nurse and Dr. Molinares were very thorough, more so than my previous Doctor. Dr. Molinares let me talk about all my concerns and then she explained the process we would take to address them. I was unaware of how many medical services Dr. Molinares' practice offers when I made my appointment. I find services to be very convenient. I am very thankful I found her! I will gladly refer Dr. Molinares to my family and friends.

It was an amazing experience! The only problem is I needed to see a gynecologist and she was not one. She said that I was the second patient that thought that. Zocdoc needs to do a lot more research one the doctors (specialty, practice).
