“I had the privilege of being under the care of Reynalda Hidalgo for both the delivery of my baby two years ago and another surgery afterward, and I truly cannot recommend her enough. She is an exceptional provider—kind, patient, and an incredibly attentive listener. During such important and sometimes stressful moments, she always made me feel heard, supported, and at ease. Her calm and reassuring presence helped ease my anxiety in a way that meant so much to me. Reynalda goes above and beyond for her patients. She takes the time to explain everything clearly and ensures you feel comfortable every step of the way. I am deeply grateful for the care I received from her and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a compassionate and skilled professional. I also want to mention that the staff at the Elston office are wonderful—friendly, welcoming, and always helpful. They made every visit a smooth and positive experience.”

wonderful
Great doctor!! Highly recommend!
First time at the gyno so I didn't quite know what to expect, but the doctor is very friendly and personable. She doesn't dawdle and she prioritizes your comfort. She made sure there would be no surprises and she let you know what was going on as she did the exam. I was quite relaxed with the appointment, and furthermore I would like to add that the speculum part was no more painful than removing a menstrual cup so if that's something you're concerned with then I'm hoping that getting a framework of the pain level from the perspective of a virgin should put your mind at ease, lol. I've had significantly worse pain just getting my x-rays done at the dentist; this was less painful than a needle stick, and I'm not even someone who dreads those (I donate blood). Anyway tl;dr friendly doctor, miniscule amount of pain.
Verified patient
The doctor is great! I just didn’t like the wait time. I was on time for my appointment and I wait over 45 minutes, that was my only issue. Dr. Hidalgo answers all of my questions and is an amazing doctor. Thank you!
Verified patient
My experience was great! I felt extremely nervous, but the doctor was very nice and helpful. I feel more at peace , educated, and less nervous about my appointment.
Verified patient
Love her. She delivered my niece, and my son. She is funny and very knowledgeable and she understand what your saying. Speaks to you and not down to you.
Verified patient
She made me feel like I mattered. She spend time discussing my concern. I went in thinking the worst and she reassured me that I was fine.
Verified patient
Great staff, communication, and atmosphere!
Verified patient
The staff was friendly and I didn't wait that long to get attended. I left feeling well informed and relieved to know there was a plan of action to help with my family planning. Thank you!
I waited over an hour to be seen and was time it would still be another 20 minutes before I was taken back. The receptionist and staff was very rude.
Verified patient
I've been seeing Dr. Hidalgo for many years; she's wonderful. If you're looking for a good OBGYN, I recommend her. She remembers even 'little' things about me/my life. She's accessible too.
Very friendly staff, quick examination (which was good because I gave very very bad anxiety when it comes to pelvic examinations) and listened thoroughly and empathetically.
Verified patient
It was my first time seeing Dr. Hidalgo but, I felt like I knew her for years! Very sweet, knowledgeable and a good listener! Highly recommend her.
