Patient Reviews
Oct 02, 2024
I've been seeing Dr Puente for years. I couldn't have asked for a better Gastrologist. He puts you at ease, listens to you, explains your situation and finds a diagnosis. I went in to his office so sick just recently. He listened to me, set me up with test and followed with EGD Colonoscopy. He found bacteria in my lower intestines, which was the thing that made me so ill. He found some others things and has me on special food diet and prescription to help those things. But if it wasn't for him using his knowledge to know what test to run to find a solution to give me relieve I don't know what I would of done. I'm grateful for his knowledge and thoroughness on this situation. Highly recommend. Need more doctors like him. God bless.
