Amazing bedside manner. Loved that I wasn’t rushed at all. Looking forward to my follow up appointment to discuss my lab work.
November 18, 2024Juventina O.Verified patient
Great experience, best first-time medical office visit ever. Extremely thorough. Dr. Arguedas took the time to make sure he was aware of all my history. He did the medical checks and made the recommendations that were appropriate in light of my age and health issues.
I have graduate business degrees, experience working in businesses, and teaching the subjects in universities after that. So I'm always aware of organizational issues. This office and practice have all the right ingredients: very competent and caring people, who very well-organized, quite nice offices, etc.

I can’t remember the last time a doctor spent as much time with me during an appointment. He answered all of my questions and explained the results of my tests in detail. I feel like I’m in great hands.

I’ve only been a patient of Dr. Arguedas for two years and have only visited for my annual physical. The two times I’ve been here, it appears the other patients are much older but the care and attention I receive is satisfactory and I will keep coming back.
September 20, 2023Steve O.Verified patient
I could not have been more happy with my first appointment.
My previous doctor retired and it has been a bit of a chore trying to find somebody new. So much so that I had missed out on my annual physical the last three years.
The reviews were good here so I decided to give it a try, and I’m glad I did.
It went beyond a standard physical and expanded to a conversation about my OTC allergy medicine not being the best thing for me.
A previous injury overshadowing me not realizing there was muscle atrophy below it.
To things surrounding my every day health, and how we can help ourselves live better healthier lives. ?

June 9, 2020Jason M.Verified patient
Dr Arguedas took his time answering my questions and looking at my overall health, not just what brought me in that day. He was very knowledgeable and explained my options. He recommended the most effective options but told me about expensive and frugal options. He also explained how changes in life style can help as well. I would recommend him to my friends and family.

My first visit with Dr. Arguedas was exceptional. There was a small wait time, but very reasonable. He was polite and really took time to get to know me and explain important things such as diet and exercise. Looking forward to keeping him as my primary for long term. Thank you Dr. Arguedas.
