“Wonderful Physician! I saw Dr. Valero for my yearly check-in, and self paid even though new practice doesn’t accept my insurance. That should tell you how much my peace of mind is worth to me. It’s hard to find Physicians like her these days. I’d rather pay the bill and keep my peace of mind intact. ”
