Patient Reviews
Feb 06, 2024
At age 78 and having lived in more than 40 places in my life I've obviously been in the care of many different doctors.I am very happy that I found Dr Chavez andIchose him when I moved to Yuma a year ago because he was recommended by several friends.Unfortunately my health requires the regular and frequent care of a doctor so I've seen him for various things and he carefully responds to any needs such as tests or referrals to a specialist. That's another thing I'm grateful for, he is quick to refer me if the need is even a little outside of his expertise. Altho as an internist he has extensive knowledge and training .I HIGHLY recommend him to anyone who needs a doctor's care. There may be a person now and then that isn't comfortable with him but I believe that to be personality differences only. Se habla españolSincerely Robbi Tomsen
