Amalia Armenta, MD

I love her! She advocates health and nutrition, and yet when a problem is presented knows exactly how to resolve it and give you the correct handling.

As many others have stated, DO NOT choose this woman as your doctor. I initially chose her because she was in my network and her office was near my home. I gave her and her office many opportunities to show me that they are professional (I had her as my primary care physician for about a year). Unfortunately, from the very first visit until the last I was given the same poor service. Initially I went in for an issue with my leg. I paid $ 30 for her to come into the office, NOT CHECK MY LEG, and just write me a prescription for physical therapy. When I began to ask her another question, she told me I would have to make a separate appointment to have anything else done for me! I literally saw her for less than 5 minutes. I was shocked and now understand that she must assume that because she is a doctor she can just make things up and us lowly non-​doctors will just take her word for it.
On top of her horrible attitude and service, every single time that I went in and paid with my credit card, I would then be sent a bill saying I never paid. I wasted so much time on the phone arguing and sending in credit card statements to show that I had paid. It’s been over a year since my last visit and I am still dealing with them and their lack of organization with regards to payments. It is incredibly frustrating and I hope that enough of these poor reviews some how get back to Dr. Amalia. Hopefully she will take some time to reevaluate her practice, or just quit all together.

I have been seeing Dr. Armenta for years. She listens to me well, we have detailed discussions about my health and family health history, and she remembers me so that I can get good long term care. Not only that, but she is friendly and a pleasure to see.

I’m finally changing her as my primary. I find her practices to be lazy. She doesn’t listen or help you much. I’m done with her. I actually avoided my last check up just to not see her.

DO NOT GO SEE HER. Dr. Armenta never remembers her patients and asks the exact same questions every time. She doesn’t look at you when she talks, but instead stares at her computer. Dr. Armenta is very forgetful and overlooks things. She doesn’t listen and you often have to tell her things multiple times in the same appointment. She is kind of aloof and I will definitely be switching doctors. the only reason I saw her multiple times was because it’s easy to make an appointment.

i had my 1^st visit with Dr Armenta last week and i was so happy of my experience that i felt compelled to write a review of it I hadn’t seen a doctor for a long time and my friend who is her current patient had referred me to see her. Her office was so nice clean and modern. Her staff were really attentive, helpful and understanding to my needs. I felt very welcomed. Dr Armenta gave me all her attention and listened to all my concerns. After looking at my health history. She came up with a comprehensive treatment plan which is helping me recover and i’m feeling better each day. I will be definitely be referring to all my family and friends to see her.

I don’t understand why Dr. Armenta is getting bad reviews on Unilocal.I have had the most wonderful experience with her and her office staff. She takes the time to listen to my concerns and does her job as a physician competently. Dr. Armenta correctly diagnosed me with the condition that afflicted me and not the diagnosis I think or I wish I had. She takes her time to explain things and offers «a pill» when it is indicated. After all, if I didn’t want a prescription for my illness, I would have sought a holistic practitioner instead; whom, by the way, are not doctors. I am realistic and understand that doctors do not have much time to see patients especially if they are enrolled in HMOs. I understand, you get what you pay for, and even so the quality of care I revive at Dr. Armenta’s office is much better than what is out there. I’ve been to other physicians’ offices where I never see anyone besides the PA or NP. I know that there are other alternatives out there such as concierge medicine, however, I do not think it’s worth the price.

Dr. Armenta just wants to get you in & out as quickly as possible. She does not want to take the time to answer your questions; in fact, she really does not want to listen to you at all. If she can throw a pill at your situation, she will, rather than recommending a non-​pharma approach. I just came from her office & am not going back.

I am never going back to Dr. Armenta ever again. I should have seen the red flag when I found out she didn’t catch CANCER in my mom’s friend (they did blood tests and Dr Armenta NEVER READ THEM), but stupidly, I was enticed by the nice, new office and her initial friendly demeanor. I told her I’ve been suffering from migraine-​like symptoms, and after about five minutes at most, she told me that I did not have migraines, completely dismissed my saying that I have headaches every single day, and just prescribed me a 1000mg/​day dose of Naproxen. That’s ALEVE, people. In any case, I came back to get some referrals to an allergist and an ENT as I suspect the headaches are sinus-​related, and she practically refused me, and after LESS than five minutes, practically ran out of the room and closed the door behind her WHILE I WAS STILL TALKING.
The absolute worst doctor I have ever met, and it’s frightening to know she has a continuing active practice.
