First visit to the office. The staff was wonderfully kind and warm and caring!! The Doctor was was very straightforward. He was extremely knowledgeable and cared more about my health and the best possible solution rather than stretching it into an involved process. I truly appreciated his honesty and diagnosis. I highly recommend this group for future care!

My first visit w/Dr. Pulido regarding pain in my hip & leg. I suspected I need a hip replacement and he confirmed that I do. However, he was honest that there may be some pain I'm experiencing that the hip replacement may not help, it could be coming from my back. He was professional, friendly and took time to listen to me & explain everything. In addition, the entire staff was friendly and efficient. It was so nice to see so many happy people at their job.
