Jarava Abelardo, MD

Amazing doctor and person. Very knowledgable, great listener, and wonderful person. He never seems rushed or upset. Has a great bed-​side manner.

I too have been going to Dr. Jarava’s office for a really long time, please be aware that he is a family practitioner and he deals with minor cases, if you have a target problem I suggest seek a speacialist. He is a good doctor and will cure your problems and will do tests to see if there are any real problems like visible problems or if blood results show significant changes. You have a flu or cold, see him, you have scoliosis or migranes see a specialist. True the wait is long but then if you really cant wait, come in to the office as the doors open, sign in and wait, but it is a private office and the doctor must first visit his patients at hospitals so you wont be seen until arounf 10 am, but yet you still have to come in early to sign in. Hes good so if you have a minor problem see him.

Love this Dr. hes been doc. since I was toddler now I’m 27, he always been understanding and respectful towards me. Yes it latino clinic but who cares they have English speaking ladies that work here if want to visit this Dr. He always tried to find solution to your problem or give prescription to cure your sympotoms if needed. I try to bring list of medical concerns so I get my money worth. If your concern is outta hes hands then, referres you to a specialist. The reason I didnt give him 4 stars is wait is bit long at times depending on what time of yr. it is if back to school usually long wait cause all kids are getting there shots I had to wait last time almost an hr. I got tired reading magazines there. Otherwise ttly recommend him~!

Don’t be fooled by what you read in the previous review, Dr Jarava is a very good doctor, he is very compassionate and helped me a ton with my medical problems. I saw a couple of doctors in the past, but he is just amazing, he dedicates all the time needed for you regardless of your medical insurance status. If you are ever in need give him a try =D

I felt dizzy all day, and had more, um, personal symptoms, so I called my insurance to find a doctor quickly. I was refered to Dr Jarava at the Ashland Medical Clinic, and was thrilled that I could get in immediately. When I showed up, it was clear that it was a Spanish speaking clinic, which is fine, except i don’t speak it. There was a bit of a language barrier, but they did speak English and got me in quickly. A medical student (who was very friendly) interviewed me before I saw the doctor… however they seem to have a pretty «open door» policy, even when dealing with private matters. Dr Jarava didn’t listen very well, and seemed totally confused with my symptoms. He kept talking about my birth control and how he didn’t know much about it and it could make me infertile, even though my visit was totally unrelated. The student (who stayed with me the whole time) and I kept trying to explain my method, but he kept arguing until I, as nicely as possible, said i didn’t care and wanted to talk about the reason I was there. I told him I have scoliosis and was in physical therapy and he argued before even examining me that I probably didnt need it and everyone had spine curvatures. He never put me in a gown and just lifted my shirt (without warning me first) above my bra and had me just move my clothes around to examine me. He said the dizziness was probably from moving my head too much. He finally had blood work done, and came in during to tell me he doesn’t like my insurance because they always give him a hard time (what does he want me to do about it?). Overall I had a terrible experience, and as I left, immediately called my insurance to find a new doctor.
