Dr. Diaz is a wonderful physician. I made the decision to begin seeing him after getting frustrated with the care at walk in clinics and I was pleasantly surprised with my experience. He took the time to listen to my concerns both before and after my examination as well as made an effort to understand me as a person, not just a patient. I would highly recommend him.

My family and I are patients of Dr. Diaz. From routine annual check-ups to sick visits, the same level of care is delivered without fail. All the staff we have encountered, including phone calls, checking in and out, lab work etc have all been courteous and prompt. It is so nice to be able to have lab work done at the office. We also utilize their patient portal for making some appointments and looking at lab work results. GIMP does respond to requests submitted through patient portal and posts lab results quickly. Dr. Diaz is thorough and genuinely listens to you during the visit. He takes the time to discuss and explain, and I have never felt rushed. I highly recommend Dr. Diaz and GIMP.

I have been a patient of Dr. Diaz for a number of years. He is knowledgable and personable. I feel I receive really good care from him. He explains things clearly and is always helpful. The support staff in his office are courteous and efficient. His nurse has always returned my calls and has on several occasions worked me in at the last minute when I had a problem. Everyone I have had contact with in his office seems dedicated to providing the patient with the best possible care. I would definitely recommend Dr. Diaz.

MY VISIT WENT VERY WELL, WAITING TIME WAS MINIMAL TO GET IN. THE DOCTOR EXPLAINED EVERYTHING TO ME, WHAT MIGHT BE THE PROBLEM, BUT ORDERED TESTS AND REFERRAL TO A SPECIALIST TO OFFER A DIAGNOSIS.
