I would reconsider the appointment schedule...do the last schedule of the day for the sake of not loosing too much time off work.
Verified patient
Although the wait was a little bit long. It was well worth the wait. Dr. Peña is very professional and took his time. I did not feel rushed at all unlike other visits at other Dr.'s Offices. I will continue to visit Dr. Peña.

This man is awesome. Very thorough, easy to talk to, extremely knowledgeable. I only wish I could clone him so I could see him until the day I die.
He was a lovely doctor. My only issue was that I was not attended to alone but with one of his students. In addition, had to wait for over an hour.
El doctor muy bien, pero me toco esperar mucho, mi cita era 10y 45 y me atendieron 12y 30 eso fue lo q no me gusto, espero q esto mejore. Gracias
Verified patient
Excellent!!!!
The wait was long but once Dr. Pena came in it was worth it. He is very thorough with the exam. He is an old fashioned doctor. :-)
Verified patient
Very thorough. Excellent doctor.
I think I may have found my new primary doctor. Extremely thorough, very pleasant, and not arrogant. Only bad thing is that he's popular so you will wait 1.5-2 hours.
IT WAS GREAT,I LOVE HIM!
Verified patient
During the 1st 2 hours of wait time I considered leaving multiple times. Luckily I stayed and was FINALLY greeted by the Dr's assistant who ran a thorough preliminary including bloodwork (an added convenience). Dr Pena was apologetic about the delay and did not rush me. He heard my concerns, prescribed meds when appropriate, yet referred me to specialists when warranted. Dr Pena seems to care more for his patients than for his ego. That is refreshing to see especially when the bottom line generally trumps sound healthcare. I'm glad I waited those 2 hours. .
The doctor was excellent,
Staff very friendly and helpful
