The provider was great! My significant other came with me. After my visit, he mentioned how unprofessional one of the registration members was. He said they tried to flirt while I was in the back.

First meeting with Dr. Botero. Very happy with him. Took the time to explain everything and the plan of treatment. Would definitely recommend him.

I have no suggestions as I feel the visit was a 10/10 experience from start to finish
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 3/6/2026
I can offer nothing that would provide improvement of care. However I did appreciate the care with which the doctor listened to me and the fact that the nurse was able to take my blood pressure using a manual cup rather than an electronic one. That makes a definitive difference in the numbers provided. I appreciate that she had that expertise. Many I have encountered do not. Thank you

I felt very supported. I trusted my service provider. I felt respected and I felt emotionally and physically safe. I don't think that there's anything that could have improved my experience any further because it was an excellent experience.

It was a great experience. I cannot think of another way to improve.

No complaints here! This has actually been one of the best providers I've come across. He definitely listened and cared. He was very knowledgeable and trustworthy. They don't make too many providers like this anymore! Great provider

As always, Prisma experience was excellent from start to finish. I can't think of any way to improve the experience.

By hiring more medical staff we great bedside manners. Dr. Botero is always ready to listen and documentation his is great . Can be contact as available via my chart. Nursing and receptionists seem to be right to the point, stress and unfriendly. It was the last appointment of the day and they were probably tired. Positive experience overall. Thanks!

There was no hand sink in the exam room for staff to wash their hands, which was strange to be lacking, to me.

Dr. Botero, is very knowledgeable about his job. He shows respect, understanding and integrity. He goes beyond his call of duty to help you understand your diabetes. He is the only doctor I have met that explains what you are dealing with and how to manage it long term. He is a great advocate for diabetes management.

Medicare requires 90 days between visits for them to pay for insulin. The practice is so busy I can't book next appointment within 90 days.

I don't like Lab Corp's service. This is now the end of the second day since I had blood drawn. Still don't have CBC results. Not been happy with them before. The lab tech was great!

Yes, I haven't talked to them all yet. I got an appointment to go get something done from the local doctor at Medical Park 256, I think. Is this what you're calling me about? I got to come and get ready. I haven't gotten ready yet. Thank you for coming back.

Dr. B. Carlos, I was impressed with his knowledge of my condition. He is very trustworthy, secure, caring and explained how you can improve your condition. I have never had a doctor in today's society who took the time to treat you as a human being rather then. a number. I would not hesitate in referring someone to him. He is an exceptional doctor.
