Merced Testimonials
"The office is so quick to see you and will have you in and out in a jiffy! Hector is personable, explained my condition clearly, and gave me options for treatment and recommended starting slow and easy. Even when I was having an allergic reaction, I left a message with the office on a Friday! Hector called me the same day to advise next steps for me. I’ve been really happy with the practice’s care for me, and you will be too."
"Staff is efficient, friendly, and professional. Wait times are minimal. The facility is clean and comfortable. Dr. Lucero is extremely caring and compassionate. She goes beyond and above for her patients. I wish all doctors were like her. She’s awesome! I recommend her with the highest respect!"
"I've been seeing Dr. Pilkington for at least 15 years, maybe longer. He always catches every little spot. He's very friendly and accommodating and has a great bedside manner. He was recommended by a coworker, and I've never regretted going to him. He's the best in Merced. And I would recommend him 100%."
