Patient Reviews
Apr 27, 2020
Dr. Hector Cardenas has been my doctor for 10 years. Dr. Cardenas provides a level of care and trust that makes me feel like he always places my health and welfare above all other factors. This experience of care begins with his staff. From the second I call I’m greeted with a caring voice and appointments are easy to schedule. Dr. Cardenas is always friendly, but more importantly he always takes the necessary time to diagnose my issue. He often asks follow up questions on what I consider minor facts that end up proving to be critical. Beyond that, Dr. Cardenas always goes into great detail explaining the reason for his diagnosis and prognoses with all the various alternative courses of action. After leaving an appointment, it often feels like I have taken a short course in medicine, replete with medical diagrams and anatomy models. Regardless of how minor the reason for my visit, Dr. Cardenas will call a couple days later to check on my progress. Dr. Cardenas is an excellent doctor!
