Patient Reviews
Apr 20, 2023
Dr. Cardenas is such a good dr. He removed a parathyroid, my thyroid and 2 lipomas on the back of my neck at one time. I got told by 3 other drs. They would have to remove the lipomas separately because I would have to be turned over. Dr. Cardenas made it happen and I'm so relived I didn't have to have separate surgeries. He's definitely an asset to the medical community and he's very knowledgeable. I would absolutely use him again!

What’s a board certification and why is it important that my provider has one?

A board certification represents a provider’s dedication to ongoing training in one or more specialties, including the completion of intensive exams. While not all specialties have board certifications, if your provider does have one they’ve taken the extra step to master their specialty and to keep up with the latest advancements in their field.
