We are so fortunate to have Dr Prieto as our doctor. He always takes time to listen to us and answer all of our questions. We never feel rushed, and we always leave his office with a smile on our face, knowing we are in good hands.

04/15/2026

Dr.Prieto took care of me very quickly and answered all my questions. Very professional and explained everything so I could understand.

04/02/2026

Excellent doctor. Takes the time to listen to me about my questions and concerns.Explains things to me in a way that is clear to me. I feel very confident being in his care.

04/01/2026

I thought the nurse said he was going to do an EKG, but they did not.

04/01/2026

I’m looking forward to my next appointment on May 7

04/01/2026

excellent/no complaints

03/30/2026

Apparently my deficiencies did not require much as to advice on how I could improve my situation. Another appointment was suggested for next year.

03/30/2026

Excellent physician - very knowledgeable with excellent communication skills

03/30/2026

I am grateful that he was overseeing the Watchman surgery. Nalini Ramanathan and Huseein Kwaja think highly of him.

03/26/2026

He is very thorough and professional . I like him. Dr Prieto and his team got me out of a very scary situation. I thank them for that. So far so good. God bless

03/26/2026

From the front end staff, to the medical tech and Dr Prieto the visit is a 10.

03/26/2026

Other than seeing him briefly for my actual cardioversion, this was really the first interaction I had with Dr. Pietro. He was friendly, efficient and answered our questions even before my wife and I could ask them. Very personable, made us feel at ease. Only minor quibble I could have was the appointment seemed slightly rushed. He had come in the exam room while his nurse assistant was doing her thing in taking my BP and O2, unhooking the EKG leads. Made for a bit of a cramped conversation for us.

03/26/2026

Dr. Prieto is an outstanding physician.

Getting a timely appointment with Dr. Prieto is difficult because he is such a good physician. However, unless it's an emergency I would prefer to wait some. Dr. Prieto has the full package and gives the patient significant confidence in his decisions and recommendations.

I was very happy to see that although this was my first office visit with him, he had thoroughly reviewed my file and gave an honest opinion about what needed to happen going forward. Though not the doctor's fault, it did take longer than I had hoped to get this initial consultation with him.
