    There was some discrepancy between how long the doctor told me to give my child her antibiotic, versus how long it was prescribed for. That was confusing, but otherwise I have no complaints. Dr. Moreno got us in for a same-day appointment for my daughter's ear infection, even though she is not our regular doctor. She was kind and thorough.

    Dr. Moreno is amazing. She did my IUD procedure and was incredibly kind and patient. She explained everything that would occur and her approach really eased my nerves. She also gives local anesthesia-something that not all practices do. I was really nervous but I felt like she actually cared that my experience was as positive as possible.
