I read the some of the reviews on here and I am honestly baffled. I don’t think we went to the same doctor. Dr. Pineda is wonderful!! He truly cares about each of his patients and wants to figure out what is wrong. I have been struggling for years with unknown problems with my thyroid. Several endocrinologists would just wave their hand at me. However, Dr. Pineda was not like that! He took time to speak with me and LISTEN to me. If it was not for him (and the help of the Lord) I don’t know what I would be doing right now. I finally am getting the help I need. Thank you Dr. Pineda. Also, for those of you who complain about the wait time. Maybe it is because he actually sits with the patients and speaks with them and Listens to them. If you are looking for “fast food” care then go somewhere else(:

I have been with Dr. Pineda for about 12 years now. I truly believe my level of care is the reason my cancer surgery was such a success. As with all doctor's office, there is sometimes a wait. That is life. My time is not any more valuable than anyone else's. If I had it to do all over again, I would once again pick this doctor to take care of me.

Been a patient of Dr. Pineda for nine years!! I drive an hour every month for my appointment. Well worth my time. He is the kindest, caring, most brilliant doctor I have ever known. He listens to his patients and will keep researching and testing till he gets answers. Great doctor and great staff!!

I have waited at least two hours for every appointment. The phone staff is consistently rude and the medical staff is fake nice. The office is out of date. Dr. Pineda is nice but, too many other problems with his staff and practice.

I have been seeing Dr. Pineda for almost 25 years. After having breast cancer, I was soooo fortunate to have "Dr. P" assigned to me at the hospital. Not only is he an excellent doctor, but he is a true 'gentle man' with a wonderful bedside manner. One of the best listeners I know. Since then, my husband, dad, mother and father-in-law and sister-in-law have been patients of his. Thanks Dr. P?? Jean C.

Talks to family members and friends without patients permission! BIG NO NO.... He is a nice person and he babies some of his patients. He tells the patients what they want to hear rather than actually being a doctor. If you really need a doctor to find out what's going on with your body and to actually treat your diagnosis he is not the doctor for you. If you have an appointment to see him make sure not to make any other plans. Because you will wait well over you appointment time. Plan to be there ALL DAY!
