Patient Comments
Dr Mario Naranjo Tovar is very courtesy, respectful and thorough. He takes care of my siblings as well-to continue the family health care
Excellent Doctor
Very knowledgeable and thorough and cared for my case and my well being.
Dr. Tovar was outstanding in his care, expertise and in developing a wonderful rapport and relationship with me very quickly. He was thoroughly prepared for our visit despite the appointment being made just the day before and he called me twice the following week to check in and share test results. I couldn't have asked for or imagined more complete and effective care.
Dr Tovar was so gracious and pleasant-he reviewed all his findings and what procedures will be next
