September 2021

5. I met Dr Pinzon for the first time on 09/15/2021 I was feeling bloated, not sleeping well, my chest was tight, bilateral ankles, feet and legs were swollen. He did a thorough assessment and examination on me. He talked to me and my wife about the situation at hand. He suggested treatments to relieve my condition. I was very satisfied with his performance and concern about me. He prescribed medications and blood to be drawn for lab studies. He even discussed follow=up to our next visit. When we left the visit we followed his orders and got the ball rolling concerning the plan of care he laid out. I slept good last night and thankful for his knowledge.

November 2020

Was very pleased with the attention he paid to me and his staff was excellent, especially the lady who scheduled my upcoming procedure

Our Response:
We're very glad to hear it! Our commitment is to our patients well-being. We'll make sure that our team is recognised for their excellent service.
