Hector O. Pacheco's Online Review Report Card

I DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW THERE ARE REVIEWS FOR THIS DOCTOR FOR PEOPLE IN CA AND IN EL PASO, DURING THE SAME YEARS. ARE THEY TALKING ABOUT THE SAME DR? HE WAS AN EXCELLENT DR. TO ME IN EL PASO, 2000, BROKEN NECK IN CAR ACCIDENT.

It’s so hard to get a hold of anyone there. Phone always goes straight to message center. Doctors show little empathy or compassion. When I told the doctor my father could no longer work with the amount of pain he’s been in with his knee, he told us my dad would just have to find a job he can do.

H had two back surgeries by another doctor and I got worse with each surgery. Before my surgery with Dr Pacheco I couldn't stand over 10 minutes, or walk over 50ft before bending over like I was looking for something on the ground. Every 50ft I would be looking for a place to set, or lean on before I could move another 50ft. I was in the hospital four days. Since leaving I have not taken any pain medication. I was walking 200ft the first week after surgery. I flew home and when we don't have snow I walk over a half mile daily. Today 4 & a half months after my surgery I walked over a mile in 40 degree weather. Dr Peachco cares about each patient as if you were the only one (How I felt) and wants to help patients become their best. I strongly recommend Dr. Pacheco to anyone with back problems !

Poor bedside manner!

Hidden gem in Murietta! Dr. Pacheco recently moved to So Cal, and he will take difficult back surgery cases that most doctors are afraid to take on. He patiently answered all of our questions before surgery and post op. My family member had two previous back surgeries with extremely poor results (lots of pain and extremely limited mobility). After doctors across the country refused help, Dr. Pacheco agreed to take on his difficult case and perform the spine surgery he believed would have a better outcome. This is the most calm, humble, kind surgeon you will find, and we are ecstatic with the fabulous results - pain is eliminated and mobility is greatly improved and continues to get better. Thank you, thank you Dr. Pacheco! You are a blessing to our family!

I recently had to have a major back surgery. I was in extreme pain 24/7. When I met Dr. Pacheco I was immediately impressed by his calm methodical personality.He was upfront, caring, professional and confident that he could fix me. He made me feel extremely comfortable going into a surgery that was very scary for me. Surgery was a complete success. Thank you Dr. Pacheco for a new life. God Bless. Stephen H.

I LOVE DR. PACHECO! If he hadn't married while he cared for my 93 year old mother when she broke her lemur, I would of married him! He was the best doctor ever! (And my Mom had 5 doctors at the time) The day he operated on my mother, he had already done 27 surgeries at Providence Hospital and had to drive to do my Mom's emergency surgery at another hospital. She was the last one on his list for that day, it was 8:30 p.m. when he came to perform the surgery. After working all day, he was very alert, professional, and skilled. The surgery was a success, my mother is 95 years old now. He is an excellent doctor! I can't say enough good things about him, and the excellent follow-up care he continued to provide for my mother! He was gentle, kind, and respectful to my mother at every appointment. I LOVE YOU DR. PACHECO!

Very poor bedside manner. Doesn't listen to patient's concerns. Interrupted me many times. Elitist doctor who when I complained about not being able to walk told me I should get a desk job. I'm in my sixties and have never had a desk job. I don't own a cell phone and I don't see myself behind a desk. I've worked outside all my life. This physician was only concerned with my spine and I need a hip replacement. Switched physicians and now getting the surgery I need and hopefully I will be back at work in a few months (not at a desk job).

Over the past 29 years I have been a patient Of almost all the Dr’s in this office. I have always been extremely happy with the care & treatment I hav received. Very recently I was a patient of Dr Pacheco. He was also fantastic. I also have to say how good the staff is too. They got me in for an appointment quickly. Thank you to all of the Dr’s there as well as the entire staff????

Hi saved my son's leg!!! Hi is an excellent dr!!! god bless you dr pacheco.
