In patients' words

"I love Dr. Salcido! She's very intuitive and caring. Takes my health and concerns very seriously and allows me to be a part of my care."

Patient review via rater8 for Martha Salcido, PA

"Doesn't listen to your concerns. Made rude comments about family members. If I could give less than one star, I would."

Patient review via Healthgrades for Dr. Marc Avent

"He is very rude and misdiagnosed what was wrong with me... he came in to the room that I was waiting to see him in and started yelling at me."

Patient review via Vitals for Dr. Lawrence B. Li
