I was able to review & discuss my current situation with Dr.Remolina.

4 out of 5 Reviewed on 2026-04-15

He was very rushed, said he palpated my R back where I was having pain, but actually he did not. Before I can remind him that he did not do the palpation, he rushed out to just check my urine dipstick & said it was neg for UTI. His MA should have had that result ready In the room, since there was plenty of time even before he went into the room. Instead of the MD spending time to find it, he could have easily done the palpation. I still have that same R sided pain now.

Dr. Remolina had reviewed all the records in my medical chart added since my last visit with him. One thing that makes Dr. Remolina's care so beneficial is that he asks questions, listens, repeats my response so that we are both of the same understanding. Listening is a virtue. He also performs a physical examination during each visit.
