I promised I'd write a review on Google, so here goes. To start with I hate going to the Hospital,…read moreI dislike everything to do with Hospitals. But given that I'll be 80 this year I guess it's just a given that you'll find me there more offen. If you have to go to the Hospital and your in Imperial County only go Pioneer Hospital in Brawley. There the only game in town. I wouldn't go to El Centro Reginal Hospital if they bought me a new car. I made that mistake once and almost didn't live to give this review. I'm being very dramatic but you get the point. The 2 Hospitals are as different as night and day. My stay of 3 days at Pioneer was great even with me pretty sick. They got me through the ER asap and to my room very fast. The LVNs and RNs were all very friendly and very kind. They took care of my many requests and actually acted like they really cared. It was a breathe of fresh air. They cared they really cared. Special shout outs to Claudia, night shift Hilda and Melissa. I wish I could remember all the names of all the ladies that helped me get through this very trying time. My respect to all of you, you all deserve a monthly bonus. You must feel very proud when you go home and think of how many people you helped get better. Regards too all the staff may 2025 be a banner year for you all. Michael

Turned out I had a raptured appendix!! My PA was wonderful. He kept me informed and made sure I got pain meds right away My surgeon was Dr White. He's thorough and performed a successful surgery. The nurse who assisted in the ER and the anesthesiologist were both so nice when I was taken to the operating room(sorry I don't remember your names, but definitely have not forgotten how kind you were). Paola and the staff who prepped me for surgery were also very kind. Paula was with me after surgery and took such good care of me. Thank you I was rolled into my room after midnight. Jasmine and her nursing assistant were wonderful. I felt like they spent a long while with me and checked on me throughout the night. My day nurse Karla and her nursing assistant Cecy have been equally wonderful I think I have to stay one more night and am very grateful they are not rushing me out. Thank you, Dr White My husband and I are very grateful to the whole team

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.
