    I am happy she was the doctor available for my surgery. I feel confident the care I am getting is superior and that she actually cares about my recovery.

    Dr Tinajero saw me through a very concerning biopsy which had been tried before by another physician who had not been able to complete it. Dr Tinajero succeeded in getting a biopsy and in the video visit was able to interpret the (good) results for me and to recommend how to proceed in future monitoring and in future discussions with providers.

    I had a painful and vulnerable procedure performed during this visit. Dr Tinajero could not have done a better job! I am so grateful to have had such a skilled and compassionate doctor for this procedure.

    Overall the visit went well. However, the provider told me she would come back to me to propose a date for the surgery. She said it was quite urgent, and should probably done in the first half of April. It has been more than a week and she has not come back to me...Good experience: visitBad experience: follow up - the provider probably doesn't care that much about my health

    Dr. Tinajero had a kind, professional, and upbeat, bedside manner. I've been experiencing some difficult complications with my pregnancy and she was very empathetic about it, but also made me feel confident that she was there to help me with whatever would come next.
