Dr.Arias is extremely knowledgeable. She always takes her time with you because she sincerely cares. I am fortunate to have her as my primary care doctor. Her staff is always welcoming.

I have been a patient of Dr. Arias for about 2 years and although I can truly appreciate her skill and experience as a doctor the fact that every patient has at least a 2 hour wait every time is just ridiculous. This is disrespectful to the patients and they need to correct their scheduling issues. If it weren't for this I would certainly give her at least 4 stars if not 5.

Dr. Arias has been my primary care physician for over 7 years. Now days it is difficult to find a physician of such high caliber, she truly cares for her patients and it shows in the amount of time she spends listening to our medical issues. Dr. Arias provides excellent medical care with great bedside manners.

Ramona does not show any sort of kindness towards her clients. My father just recently died and my mom went to see Ramona and she did not have the heart in her to say to my mom "sorry for your loss". We are finding another doctor ASAp one who cares about people like their own family.
