Reviews
I was satisfied with the attention and care of Dr. Puente and all his staff, thank you very much
The staff was very professional and I was seen promptly. Dr Puente is very knowledgeable and I was glad to have seen him since he dispelled some doubts I had about my GI health and answered my question in a very kind manner.
First time visit to establish myself with Dr Puente. He has a great bedside manner. Was aware of my history by doing research with my past gastroenterologist notes. Would highly recommend him to someone who needs a gastroenterologist.
Dr. Puente is very easy to communicate with. He takes time to evaluate the patient, understand the problem, and respond to any concerns the patient might have.
Very professional and with excellent attention. I have been treated by Dr. Puentes for several years and he always meets my expectations.
