Very thorough and informative.
August 21, 2025Roy T.Verified patient
Dr. Paez is so incredibly nice, friendly, and a great listener. I never once felt rushed through the consultation. He patiently listened to me talking about my health issues and concerns. I felt extremely reassured proceeding with a plan of action with him. Staff was very organized and friendly. I was able to book an initial consultation as well as future appointments with Dr. Paez within a very reasonable time frame.

Overall everything went super well. Office was nice and clean with lots of information to read while you wait. Doctor and nurse were very polite they greeted me with big smiles, which made me feel more at ease.

I had a great visit with Dr. Paez! He was incredibly friendly and made me feel very comfortable throughout my appointment. He took the time to explain everything clearly and mentioned that my procedure would take place just down the street, which I really appreciated.
However, when I checked out with the front office, I was surprised to learn that my insurance wasn’t accepted at the Orange County location, and I would need to go to the Riverside office instead—over an hour away with a 6:45 AM check-in time. Definitely a bit of a bummer, and I wish I had known this information earlier.
The office itself was clean and welcoming, but I did notice the front staff didn’t seem very cheerful. They looked tired and weren’t very engaging, which made the checkin/checkout process feel a bit impersonal.
Overall, Dr. Paez was wonderful, and I’m glad I had the chance to meet with him! I just hope future patients get all the insurance details upfront to avoid any last-minute surprises. ??

My experience at Dr. Paez's office was excellent: I arrived early and was seen early. He has an engaging manner while still being focused on the details of and motivation for the plan of care. I was able to schedule another appointment within a week: super-grateful for the efficiency of the staff as well. Although I had to drive some ways for the appointment, I think that, in the end (given what I read about other gastroenterology practices), choosing that route will probably save me time overall.

I had a great experience with Dr. Paez and his receptionist, Urelly. They were so welcoming and made me feel very comfortable. Dr. Paez answered all of my questions and really took time with me.
