Patient Reviews
Nov 20, 2023
Dr. Urrutia and Sandra are caring professionals. I arrived at their clinic when other medical professionals failed to recognize my symptoms. My case had been described as “special” by others and the lack of treatment lead to unnecessary suffering. As a patient, I appreciate that Dr. Urrutia took charge right away and started looking for answers. He was very thorough with my screening, listened attentively, researched my condition, and started treatment that has been effective. I pray that we keep Dr. Urrutia as a practicing cardiologist for a long time; the whole RGV needs him as well as more professionals like him. His entire staff is very professional as well which demonstrates the respect they have for him as well as his leadership.
