Caring, not rushed, takes time to listen to what I say

Care

12/17/2025

My appointment was for 11am. I was there 15 minutes prior. The staff was helpful and got me checked in and in the room on time. I sat there for over an hour and Dr Peña didn’t show up. The staff, let me know that, while Peña was in the office, there were 2 patients ahead of me. I made sure that I was on time for the appointment and while I understand there can be delays, over an hour is unacceptable when the Dr wasn’t called away for an emergency. I had to leave and reschedule the appointment. My time is just as important as Dr Peña’s.

12/17/2025

12/16/2025

He is smart and a good doctor but my only complaint is he is always late. I had a 11 am appointment. I arrived at 10:45 as instructed. Staff called me at 11:05 and took me to the examine room. I waited in the room alone until 12:00 pm doctor came in an hour late. This is the normal for doctor Pena and it is disappointing. He is very knowledgable and freindly but always late. needs to value my time also. I left at 12:45 pm after discharge

Spends a considerable amount of time with the patient communicating and providing important information.

05/19/2025

The doctor was very respectful and actually spent time asking me about things that were wrong and wasn't judgemental about some issues I have and didn't just jump straight two conclusions for the reasons I have not been well. First doctor to spend more than 5 minutes talking with me and actually listening.

05/16/2025

Would never recommend to a woman in childbearing years.
