My first visit to Dr Arrunategui was pleasant, I was 2 month pregnant, even thought he was in hurry I was happy with my ultrasound, my baby was ok, but after a few days I started to bleed, he told me my progesterone was low, so he send me a cream right away, but never stop bleeding, I went to see him as an emergency and he told me everything is fine that I worry for nothing and this was old blood to not pay attention that I freak out so easy, well it seen that my body kept a lot of Old Blood like he called it, anyway he never sent me on rest o anything like that I ask him he said there was not need for it, I lost my baby at 3 months. I only got a oh sorry to hear that things like this happens. Not what I wanted to heard. Would not recommend him.

I came to see this doctor because of the reviews I read about him. I have to say there are falls! Did not get answers to my questions and did not fix my problem definitely not knowledgeable about infertility. So with that being said I will never see him again nor recommend anyone to him!!

Dr Arrunatgui has been my doctor for several years and delivered my first child. He is always compassionate, patient and caring. He helped me through a very difficult delivery because he knew how badly I did not want a C-section. I was able to have my son without the C-section and I truly believe most other doctors would not have had his patience and endurance. Sadly, he does not take my insurance anymore and I am devastated to have to find another dr. The staff is great too - very polite and knowledgeable.

Office staff is VERY friendly. Office is Clean. Waiting is very minimal.Been going to this doctor since 2004 and can say I haven't waiting for that 15 min. in the lobby to be seen. I trust the the doctor's expertise and would recommend anyone to see him.
