Mar 2026Communication through the portal has been extremely helpful. When I've had questions about medications or complications, the staff has always replied to me within a couple of hours (usually an hour).Mar 2026Guadalupe de la Fuente, MD is an outstanding surgeon with an exceptional bedside manner. Early on in my treatment, he was honest about potential negative outcomes, but never let me give up hope for positive ones. He's knowledgeable about his specialty and has always seemed genuinely concerned about me as a patient.Mar 2026They listed and were very kind.Mar 2026Dr. Is the best ever. Staff unbelievably friendlyMar 2026Dr de la Fuentes is truly answer to prayers spoken in ER. I was unsure about surgery. He came to room twice to explain, answer questions, concerns, he gave multiple surgery times. Once agreed day and 1/2 later, he had been to my room, he didn't quit me, he quickly gave nurses instruction would get me in that evening last surgery. He didn't have to do that. Tearfully grateful for his kindness, goodness, and excellence in seeing me thru. I will forever be grateful for that. He is all and more a patient could pray or ask for.Feb 2026Dr. De La Fuente really cares for his patients. He was most definitely made to be a doctor.Jan 2026Great team, everyone helped me with my needs.Jan 2026Great care provider, all staff members are very helpful.Jan 2026It's been a year since my surgery and have found through my experience throughout, that I was very fortunate to have been treated by this Orthopedic Team. From the time the EMT dropped me off at the Emergency room until my final checkup a year later, it has been much better than would have thought. I feel lucky to have the Team that treated me and could not be more impressed with where I'm at today with the injuries. Thank you so much for that.Jan 2026Dr. De La Fuente is a rockstar surgeon who can also explain procedures and outcomes in laymen's terms very well.Dec 2025Dr De La Fuente is an outstanding surgeon.
