Excellent care from Dr. Puente who explained the surgery in great detail and did his best to put our minds at ease. Dr. Puente performed a complicated surgery on my husband, the result of which far exceeded our expectations. Dr. Puente is a brilliant surgeon, I can’t say enough about him.

Left some stiches behind on patients surgical area. I am very heart broken with Dr. Puente because I thought he was good. He seemed in a rush while removing stiches which he said we should had been there a week ago but yet we went on the day indicated by himself. Just be careful and pay attention if your getting surgery.

My name is Mickey Morales and I had a Hernia procedure done by Dr Puente. I would say this was approximately 2 plus years ago. I am happy to say I am fully recovered and have had no ill effects. You and your staff were very warm and welcoming and you addressed all my fears with patience. It was a very positive experience and I would recommend you and your talented staff to anyone interested in a quality experience. Thank you.

Dr Puentes your are the very best. I appreciate the time you and the anesthesiologist spent with me prior to the removal of the gall bladder last June. I recuperated very quickly with no ill effects from the anesthesia. Three of my family members had surgery performed by you! Once again Thank You....

I was very pleased and comforted by Dr Puente's explanation for the reason I needed surgery for my problem. Throughout the recovery, he was always concerned and was available to talk with me. His office staff is polite and helpful.
