Patient Reviews
May 19, 2016
Dr Bustillo was responsible for saving my spouse's life while we were on vacation in Las Vegas. As a member of the medical/nursing community for 40+years, I will personally attest to the fact, that Dr Bustillo is the most caring and compassionate surgeon that I have ever met. She has tremendous surgical skills, and knows when to ask for help. She was there every time she was needed, and communicated with family members on a regular basis. She was never too busy to answer questions.

What’s a board certification and why is it important that my provider has one?
