I had two visits and both were excellent. Dr. Raphael Argueta took great care of me. I was feeling horrible and he addressed the concern and I am recovering without any issues. He is very kind and I would refer him to anyone who is looking for a Doctor who is kind and attentive.

I love Dr Argetta: He thinks outside the box and uses common sense. He listens and provides informed opinions I couldn’t recommend him any higher. This is “the” doc.

The doctor was nice, but his staff do not answer the phone then their voice mail box is always full & unable to leave a message & if able to leave a message no return follow up call then to obtain referrals was like pulling teeth also shared that the doctor wanted blood test went to the lab only to find out they never sent the order horrible office staff

Verified patient
The office is dirty. They play Fox News constantly. They don’t honor your appointment times and even when you are the first appointment of the day you will just sit and wait for at least 45 minutes. The doctor doesn’t listen and they don’t fill prescriptions timely or correctly
Verified patient
Worst appointment of my life.
Nicest staff and amazing Doc!

Was not greeted by front desk secretaries for 25 minutes. Waited over an hour just to get my weight and height taken. Only to be told they didn’t have the test I came in for. Horrible service

Verified patient
I truly appreciated Dr. Argueta's attentiveness, knowledge, and problem solving. He was informative and friendly in explaining that he searches for the root cause of problems rather than just a fix.
Verified patient
My visit was fine. But, I have been calling them for some blood tests queries since the day i visited and no one picks up the phone. There is no better way to contact them. Its annoying.

I did't even wait that long maybe 15 mins. The doctor was very pleasant and caring. He explained everything and I could understand him. He' breathe of fresh air. I liked him so much I dumped I'm previous doctor.
Verified patient
I HATE GOING TO THE DOCTORS BUT THIS WAS A VERY SMOOTH AND PLEASANT EXPERIENCE. I HOPE I DON'T NEED TO SEE HIM AGAIN VERY SOON, BUT I WOULD NOT HESITATE TO GO BACK IF I NEEDED TO.
Verified patient
Doctor and staff are outstanding. Dr. Arguetta is kind, takes the time to listen and is very thorough. The wonderful staff always make me feel comfortable. This was a busy day with walk ins and is not typical of the wait time. I've been coming for several months and the wait time is normally less than 30 minutes. Well organized and we'll run office that cares about my health. I highly recommend this caring doctor and staff.
Verified patient
Very good.
I've been here many times, I NEVER feel rushed. Everyone here is so kind. They always take time to explain everything. You feel like you are part of a family. Excellent care by ALL there.
