“Dr Arriola is excellent and I look forward to him being my go to doctor from now on. Getting to the office was tricky because the entrance to the clinic is on the back side of the building. Overall it was a very positive experience and I’m glad that I took the risk of switching to them as my primary practitioners. The office could do with some fresh paint and a bit of welcoming and comfortable decor. Still, a better office visit than my past practitioner offices that were better decorated and more elaborately equipped.”

Best primary care I’ve ever seen. Dr Arriola is extremely sharp and knowledgeable, as well as humble enough to admit when he is unfamiliar with something. There wasn’t any of that arrogant dismissiveness as he was happy to let go of the reigns and not just address, but really dive into the answers of any questions I had. He didn’t waste any time, yet he wasn’t doing the classic run out of the room, just pure efficiency while still being personable. He was also more than willing to order reasonable tests that I’d typically have to twist other doctor’s arms to even consider. He was also helpful in recommending that I omit certain low risk tests because realistically insurance probably wouldn’t cover them. I’m a believer that my health is in my hands and it’s my responsibility to understand and act on it, but Dr Arriola is one of only two doctors that I’ve ever felt I could actually trust to be both capable, willing, and honest enough to guide my health. Very encouraging, thank you
March 18, 2026James M.Verified patient
I had my first appointment with Dr. David Arriola, MD today and was thoroughly impressed. Transitions to a new primary care doctor can be stressful, but the entire process was seamless. The doctor took a comprehensive look at my medical history. I left feeling confident that I’ve found a great long-term physician.
December 20, 2025Md Reajul I.Verified patient
My first time at this office so pretty much what one might expect from a strip mall urgent care facility.
Staff was friendly and professional. My immediate needs were met to my expectations. Doctor Arriola quite qualified and reviewed my history beforehand so he had a strong grasp of my health picture.
I'm confident he will serve my primary care needs moving forward.
Aces!
