Like most in healthcare, her staff and she are overworked, underpaid and very busy. Look past the administrative crap and you'll find the best medical care in the area.

Dr. Bodon has been my doctor for many years, and I truly appreciate her knowledge, care, and the…read moreway she listens to her patients. She is the main reason I continue to come back, and I trust her medical judgment. That said, the front desk and overall follow-up still need improvement. While phone answering has gotten better compared to the past, there is still a lack of urgency. I left 2-3 voicemails regarding a culture I had done with Biocor and waited about two weeks without a callback. During that time, I called the office multiple times just trying to get an update. Eventually, I went in person, and suddenly the results were available and the prescription was sent to the pharmacy. Unfortunately, I had to go through my symptoms for over 9 days longer than necessary, which was very frustrating. Dr. Bodon herself is great, but better communication, follow-up, and urgency from the front desk and assistants would make a big difference in the overall patient experience.

It is a pleasure to write this letter of recommendation for Dr De La Peña…read more She has been my Dr for Five years. She is easy to talk to, listens and is an excellent Dr. I have had 2 occasions that required additional testing and referrals to specialists. Dr De La Peña makes those referrals. Those Drs have been excellent. These situations also require yearly follow ups. Dr De La Peña goes through the blood work and lab reports with me. She answers my questions and I have complete confidence in her. Whether it is my regular yearly visits or an unexpected virus she is there for me and that makes all the difference!

My wife and I inherited Dr. De La Pena when our physician changed to being a concierge provider…read more While we liked our previous physician, we like Doctor De LA Pena even more! We have even moved our adult children over to her. Combined with the 365 program, we feel as though we are receiving true concierge care. My 90+ year-old parents had expensive concierge care, and the care and attention that we receive from Dr. De La Pena is just as good, From the routine to crisis care, the attention and quality of care are outstanding. One example. I was regularly seeing two different podiatrists for problematic feet. I called Dr. De La Pena to complain about pain in my foot. She had me come in THE SAME DAY and helped pave the path to surgery that I ended up having two weeks later. Without her immediate care, I literally would have lost a foot. That was just one example of many. Great Doc!

I went to Dr. Gorman for a year. It took a long time to get an appointment. Even though he was on…read moreinsurance as my doctor of record, they would not schedule an appointment until I had a little plastic card. My appointment was thorough. He made a good suggestion to move the time I take my blood pressure meds to avoid fatigue. That was a good suggestion. In December, I started receiving calls that I needed to pay $1500 per year to have care in his practice. I needed several referrals at my appointment. The one for imagining and bone density was fine. Dermatology was done incorrectly. When you call, you leave a message. By the time the Dematology referral was fixed, I was leaving on a trip. The sleep study to diagnose sleep apnea was never properly completed. The referral to cardiology was fine. 50% seemed too low to pay $1500 for services. I moved to Eisenhower 365. My new doc reviewed the same scan Dr. Gorman saw as fine. He deemed it not all fine and is sending me for a biopsy for cancer screening. If I in fact have cancer, it would have been nice to know a year ago. It could explain the fatigue. I pray the outcome is ok. I guess he did me a favor by chasing me away to get better services.

We were devastated when he left the Optum group to open his own concierge practice. We simply can't 'afford' to not use our insurance and pay out of pocket (like so many desert winter people CAN afford to do.). We wish him well but we will admit, we have struggled to find another doctor like him and it's been 18 months... hopefully we will find someone as good...All good things come to an end I guess.

Dr. Bender literally goes through your ENTIRE medical history. Diet, labs, medications... everything. Took awhile to get an appointment (as a new patient) but I now understand why (they take the time to request all your records and then actually read them?!) and she is SO worth the wait. I've never had an appointment where my list of issues and questions were so completely and throughly answered. Printouts... homework and goals set. Very nice, clean and organized office. Frank, (the office manager/medical assistant when needed) was a pleasure to speak/work with. I think I'm still a little in shock over my appointment. Seriously. It was that amazing.
