I am caring for my 81 yr old Father who happens to be one of Dr. Bustillo’s patients. This Dr. office is horrible! Every time I try to call to speak with someone or make an appointment, no one ever answers the phone! I called to have my Dad’s prescription refilled and it was never done! I am disgusted with this office! I will be looking to change my Dad’s Doctor! The nurse is unprofessional as well!

Dr. Bustillo cares about his patients health! He is great Dr. for both my elderly father and brother! They became his patients after Dr. Rice passed who was a excellent Dr.

It's really hard to get in contact with Dr Bustillo and every time someone calls to the office, the staff are so rude and they don't try to help anyone. Also, to make an apt is so impossible. Then, if you have an appointment when you get to the office, there is no record of it, these people are not professional and they don't care at all. It's horrible.
