Patient Feedback
“Dr. Pablo is always a professional. Extremely caring, extremely thorough. Hands down my favorite healthcare provider. He truly is a Healer, office staff is very pleasant never a long wait.”
“Love this practice. Only come for GYN appointments with Dr. Arango-Longo and she’s awesome. She’s very knowledgeable, easy to talk to, and down to earth. Makes the uncomfortable process of getting a pap effortless. Her nurse is super sweet and the front desk is as well. Very peaceful environment. I go to the Miami Lakes office.”
“Recently had my first appointment as a new patient. Needed a practice closer to home and this one was recommended by a friend. Saw Sarduy and was very happy with him. Very friendly and made the exam quick and easy.”
“Dr. Pablo is the absolute most amazing doctor! Always makes you feel that you are his only patient. He truly provides patient-family-centered care. He makes time for your concerns, questions, feedback and always follows up. Dr. Pablo is very professional, kind, and advocate for women’s health”
“Dr. Sarduy is an amazing physician who truly cares for his patients. He is incredibly knowledgeable and he makes you feel at ease. The office in Miami Lakes is my favorite. Staff is friendly and have been with him for many years.”
“Doctor Anamar Aponte was very professional. She took the time to answer all my questions. The office is very well organized I had an appointment at 3:15 pm and was out by 4:30 pm Amazing experience for a doctor’s office.”
