Extremely keen on personal attention and details as to one's health situation. Administrative side was a bit inefficient as ZOODOC forms don't align to the physician's requirements so although the office staff was more than accommodating with what was submitted on line there was a bit of confusion as to completed forms, and what needed to be filled out in the office. When it comes to one's health and professional caring sometimes we need to be more patient particularly when there's a hard working staff and a caring doctor. Not everything is in our control but I hope the feedback allows the office to address concerns. I know they were equally frustrated.

I found Dr. Contreras via online reviews. I must say the reviews were spot on. The nurse came right in and took vitals. The Doctor was only 10 minutes after the nurse. She took the time to actually discuss my situation with me and gave me an educated diagnosis. She is very thorough and ethical. I will recommend her to my friends.

I arrived late to my appointment, which is why the wait time was a bit longer. No complaints at all about the waiting!
Dr. Contreras and her staff are great! I had a wonderful experience, and will be using her as needed. Her bedside manner is compassionate which made me feel very comfortable.
April 1, 2015Andra H.Verified patient
Dr. Contreras was very understanding and compassionate when I told her about my husband being diagnosed with lymphoma cancer, and was quick to offer options concerning my anxiety and health concerns on how it was effecting me. It is very difficult to find a compassionate, caring Dr. in this day and age.
