I saw Dr. Linda Puente as my primary doctor, she is entitled and out of touch to the common person. Her abilities to observe and help are inhibited by her airs. She is after all a doctor. After shelling out over three grand out of my pocket, for my test for my back. She refused to give me my medical file so I could get further testing, done,which I believe is against the law. I should have access to my medical records. Not sure where to report that. I would not recommend her.

Dr Puente has had a very short staff during this pandemia. However, she has managed to cover every angle and to continue her patients care. She has been there all the time. She has been helping for months in difficult conditions. On behalf of my mother and me Good Bless you doctorcita.

I’m a fairly new patient in Dr Puente office since I moved to Miami less than one year ago. I found Dr Puente such a natural, down to earth and connecting person. In minutes after meeting her I forgot I was in a scary medical office. I had a problem that I have been dragging for a while , she explained to me many things I didn’t know about that and she solved it diligently with no apparent effort. She listened to me serenely and made me feel embraced. Definitely, she is a no drama physician. I also appreciate how diverse is the population she takes care of. How she interacts with other patients of different backgrounds . How young fellows like me feel confident and relaxed with her. Without any doubt Dr Puente will be my doctor as long as I live in this town.

We are living a time of toxic wealthy and predatory corporate health businesses. Dr Puente is an island of pure breath . Thank you Lydia, on behalf of my family and myself and all that you have made for us. ( I know that you prefer to be called by your name).
