Patient Reviews
Nov 16, 2023
I called in June and was scheduled for late August 2023. The office staff called an hour before, told me the doctor was not available, and rescheduled me for mid December. I kept checking the website and was able to reschedule myself for late September.Despite my difficulties in getting an appointment, I really like Dr. Peralta, and seeing him was worth the wait.
