I recently had Dr. Klingbeil perform a gallbladder removal surgery on me. I honestly cannot complain about her work ethic or the surgery procedure. When I asked her to give me some time to think if I wanted the surgery, she agreed with me and gave me a month. When I was curious about my insurance,...

Review for Dr. Klingbeil

Dr. Robinson did my high risk c section back in 2020. It was the best experience ever made me feel safe!! Definitely recommend!!

Review for Dr. Robinson

DR Spanier-Stiasny is excellent. She is thorough, professional, kind, soft spoken, and firm on issues that really matter. She has a pleasant manner, communicates well and she also took a long and careful effort to communicate with my wife following my surgery. I have been with her three years now...

AL Caldwell Mar 22 2024

Review for Dr. Spanier-Stiasny

She was my pediatrician in the late 90's and early 2000's. I was such an anxious kid, but her and the team of nurses were so patient with me. Dr. Ruiz is very committed in building relationships with her patients.

Lisette Munoz Mar 21 2024

Review for Dr. Ruiz

I’m so thankful I found her! She’s knowledgeable, considerate, honest - all of the things you want in a doctor. She actually listens to your concerns, she gives options, and she’s thorough. She’s not the one to push a medication on you and send you on your way. She’s the one!
