Ten of ten

As I previously stated Dr. Hidalgo is a rare find in these times. His concern for the patient is real and has that old school manner of doctors of the old days. he followed up with all my other doctors to ensure that I was getting the proper attention to my health issues.

05/27/2026

Well pleased with the visit.

05/18/2026

I didn't get the name of the nurse who was there on the 18th, but I liked her.

05/07/2026

His office is so tiny. He deserves a bigger exam room.

05/06/2026

While recovering from life-support, several of my doctor's urged me to get a new cardiologist, especially to diagnose and treat unexplained severe hypertension. Dr Hidalgo did not disappoint. He reviewed my medical history, records on life support, approached my hypertension with a new pair of eyes, tried several approaches and in less than 3 months, we have that under control. I feel very safe in his care going forward and appreciate him welcoming me as a new patient. My other doctors are very happy with the type of advice and care he has given me. Thank you.

05/04/2026

the nurse was excellent but in a hurry to complete the exam. even though it was a rescheduled appointment the doctor had to use his lunch hour to fit me in.

Dr. Hidalgo appears to truly care about my health and clearly answered my questions. I was treated with upmost respect.

02/27/2026

My doctor ordered a diagnostic test. I completed the test in December, and it had abnormal bad results. Immediate action should have been taken. Instead, the test results were not reviewed by the medical team until more than 2 months after the results were available.
