On my first visit to Dr. Lai's office, he told me that I was a candidate for surgery. My left knee was giving me a lot of problems because I wasn't able to walk without a walker and was in pain most of the time. Getting my surgery done with Dr. Lai was the best decision I made in years. I'm glad he was my surgeon. I honestly recommend Dr. Lai to anybody who needs orthopedic treatment. Thank you so much Dr. Lai and Staff members.

Terrible doctor and office! My mom is barely able to walk with terrible knee pain from arthritis…read more First the office staff could not locate the paperwork from the SDI that had been mailed to them. When they finally found it the paper had been sitting in their office for almost a month. Finally she is able to go to the appointment and when we're there they tell us that it had to be cancelled because they could not locate other paperwork from SDI. When she is finally able to see the doctor he does not even exam her just looks at her and says ok we'll complete the report. After we find out he reported she was fine and could return to work when she legitimately is barely able to walk! Again terrible terrible experience from the office staff to the doctor but from the looks of other comments, this is not an isolated experience.

Dr Ramona is absolutely the best. I was VERY skeptical…read moreabout going here first because of the location and that they are they only endocrinologist within the 100 mile radius. However, I took a leap of faith and found Dr Ramona via my insurance portal. I called the office and they said they would prioritize me due to my pregnancy. Never have I ever thought I'd have a health issue that requires me to see a endocrinologist in my 20s. But things happen, and I was lucky enough to have been diagnosed early in my pregnancy. Dr Ramona's visits are all via telephone( thank goodness) and her assistants were able to work with my busy schedule, which I greatly appreciate. I have dealt with many different staff members and dr Ramona herself. Everyone treated me with professionalism and respect. They assured me everything was going to be okay and sure enough, one month of taking the medication Dr Ramona proscribed, my levels went down and I felt so much better, despite the articles I've read online. Everyone is so organized and helpful. I would recommend this place to anyone that needs to see a endocrinologist.

Delia, the girl that answers phones is absolutely horrible and rude, therefore, I will drive out of…read moreImperial Valley to find a new doctor. I was told by my rheumatologist that a fax was sent over and I need to call the endocrinologist and make an appointment. I call and Delia answers and says, "why are you being referred? We didn't get a fax." I call the rheum back and they re fax so I call her back and she doesn't let me speak, just says "I will have to call you if a fax comes in." The whole day went by and I didn't receive a call. Today I call an hour before they close and she asked my name. She then started yelling at me that she received my fax but I need to give her time and she will call me sometime next week. If a Dr is okay with having this jerk work with her patients then she isn't worth going to. This one tops the list of all time worst service and rude people ever.

After he prescribed medications, and following through with them, I am hopeful and pain free. I am forever grateful.

Typically take my children to SD for all care when possible…read more Recently had a new baby, called the office to set up a 24 hour appointment or 48 hour appointment (not sure what is needed). I think my son is tongue tie and it has been affecting his nursing. I have an older son who had the same issue at birth. I am a stay at home mother of 5. Long story short my husband and myself have been going to San Diego for all prenatal care and hired a birth team of four midwives to come to our home, for a home birth. This was a personal informed medical choice we both decided upon. Paid out of pocket and also purchased private insurance specially for my prenatal care and our soon to be newborn. Anyhow baby is born happy and healthy but tongue tied. We decided to seek a pediatrician in town rather than drive to San Diego.... call this office on advice from a family friend. Immediately as I explained how I'd like to have my son examined and check to see if he is tongue tied and if he needs a snip like my older son...the receptionist asks how old baby is...I explain he's 1 day old. And that I have all paper work ultra sounds and birth record info on what he was given ect..then her tone switches and she asks when I was discharged from the hospital. I explaine how we had a home birth with a birth team of four midwives from San diego...the lady again gets almost snarky! "Oh i.dont think we see home birth patients, I'll need to give a message to the doctor and call you back. You can shop around with other pediatricians. I don't think we will see you. We do one week visit then two week visit and manditory vaccinations" aside from her snarky tone and note seeing home birth patients sounded like a great office...getting all the care and vaccinations here vs driving to sd.... This lady was extreemly judgmental sounding. As if she couldnt be bothered. She takes my number and calls me back shortly to inform me that just as she suspected this doctor does not see home birthed children. My jaw really did hit the floor. My husband and myself are two educated people, my family is extreemly active in the Brawley community...we earn our living pay extra out of pocket for a higher quality insurance on top of paying in full out of pocket for all medical care..including prenatal...heck we even drive 2.5 hours away because brawley and el centro are low in come cities making the quality of care lower than sd!!! To be told a practice didn't accept a home birthed child floored me. In fact disgusted me. I am all about the freedom of making informed medical choices...what kind of world is it when you can abort a baby but God forbid you birth that child at home. Also I'm sure this pediatrician accepts illegals who are on state funded medical insurance because that is how most lower income cities close to the boarder function. Really peeves me! Disappointed and disgusted that any practice would have such regulations. Looks like Suarez and Amani win again. Also not to debate home birth but USA has one of the highest csection rates and it's climbing..most other similar countries(such as uk, Australia ect) advise home birth for low risk mothers as well as the acog states this should be an option for families making informed medical decisions...and the largest four year homebirth Study was just published stating homebirth for low risk mothers is as safe as a hospital birth..there was no higher death or serious injury with home birth as there was in a hospital setting... Aside from my stance on home birth I really am shocked... does this pediatrician see illegals or are those other clients he won't see...what about same sex or no he doesn't take those either? How about white patients or does this pediatrician only take specific races! Where does this pediatrician draw the line on clients. I truly am disgusted. One star because the Receptionist called me back to inform me they wouldn't see my kind in their office. This was written with my cell so please excuse the grammar mistakes. -Christina

It hurts me to have to give Dr. Buenaflor's office only 3 stars, but for me, the pros outweigh the…read morecons. PROS: - Caring, super nice doctor - Wonderful back office staff, mostly nice front office staff. - Comfortable waiting room. - Dr. does not over prescribe antibiotics, and will listen to your concerns and treat you with respect. CONS: - It's hard to get an appointment when the kids are sick. It's usually at least 4 days out. - Answering service is on almost every time I call in the morning (during open office hours), and they know NOTHING. The only thing they will tell you is that you can ask for a call back that will take forever or take your kid to the ER. - Long wait times. I have never had an appointment that took less than 1-2.5 hours - No separate waiting rooms for sick/well kids. During those wait times guess what your "well" kid is being exposed to. - The seating in the office is covered in a velvety cloth, and it grosses me out because it is obviously not wipe down-able. If you live in Brawley, you might be able to overlook some of these things. Personally, I am switching to a group with more doctors and separate waiting rooms so my kids can be seen in a reasonable amount of time without being contaminated by sick kids when they are well. I'll miss Dr. Buenaflor and his staff, but there is another well-liked choice closer to me.
