I waited for an hour after we signed in because the receptionist forgot to 'Check us in'. No worries, it happens. I was pleased with Doc Fuentes knowledge and approach to my urology problem. He was easy to talk to and have a dialoShow moreg with. He was aggressive, but not pushy. I liked that he took notes rather than typed on his computer. He was methodical in his investigation and explained his reasons for his decisions. He outlined the tests he wanted to do and said the test would determine the treatment. He did give me what procedures would likely be required to fix the problem based on the paperwork I filled out and our conversation. I felt he addressed the problem, outlined the tests to provide data for making a final decision. The first test was scheduled I left that day. He told me what procedures he thought would probably be required to fix my problem. I asked him if those procedures could be done at Corwin in Pueblo, and he said he is there one day a month or so. I had to cancel that first test because I wasn't feeling god that morning. I called the office number and got scheduling at a call center I think. They said I needed to cancel the test 24 hours in advanced or I would be charged $250. Then they tried to reschedule me for another office appointment with Doc Fuentes. I said that I needed to reschedule the test, not the appointment, They said they could schedule me an appointment sooner with another Doctor. I finally said, just get me back to the doctors office. Janean answered, and rescheduled me, no problem. I know there is a learning curve with outsourcing, and I am sure it will get better.
Dr. Fuentes was tied up in a surgery so was unable to make my appointment but one of the other doctors filled in and did a great job with my procedure. The appointment took a little more time than I expected because of the switchShow more off to the other doctor, so kudos to Carlo, the PA, who was very friendly, very experienced and obviously very knowledgeable. We had time to chat a bit, which put me at ease as he was doing his thing getting me ready for the Dr., who also did a great job explaining things, answering questions and checking on how I was doing throughout the procedure. All of the staff I interacted with were very personable, answered my questions and explained thoroughly what was going to happen and what I could expect. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Highly recommended!
Dr. Fuentes grew up in Texas, and after September 11th he joined the United States Navy where he served six years aboard a nuclear submarine with two deployments overseas. Afterward he went back to school to finish his Bachelor’s of Science in Microbiology at the University of Texas at Austin, graduating with High Honors.

He was extensively trained in advanced endoscopy, single site laparoscopy, and robotics and tries to utilize these approaches whenever possible to ease recovery from surgery. Dr. Fuentes finds it important to not only treat his patients but educate them on their disease process so that they can learn ways to prevent future urologic illnesses such as recurring kidney stones.

Reviews
This was my first meeting with Dr Fuentes and I found him to be approachable and attentive. I expect to receive professional and attentive service in the future.
Excellent and most professional and caring.
Great listener and good at asking questions to help you define your physical issue, options for treatment, and hopeful resolution. Very clear with medical information in layman wording. Pleasant and easy with whom to relate.
Excellent doctor he's terrific!
Very good
Very professional and very personal in listening and understanding and dealing with concerns.
Dr Fuentes has been very informative about my prostate procedure and recovery. Even with a last minute equipment failure at the first scheduled hospital. They got me in at another one the same day and time.
This problem might be the Medical Company Dr. /Staff work for. TERRIBLE COMUNICATION! Every prescription have problems with getting anything filled because Doctor office do not return calls to Pharmacy. I thought it was the Pharmacy's fault. Changed Pharmacy provider.. Still a problem Changed Doctor thinking it was the office Still a problem Don't understand.. I can never reach a live person on phone and perscriptions is usually called in wrong.. Now Pharmacy is complaining they never recieve a return call from Doc office. Understaffed from Corporate?
I am confident it Dr. Fuentes ability to take care of my existing problem. I feel comfortable in has ability to perform this procedure.
Super customer service and got me in quickly and very knowledgeable team.
Dr. Fuentes goes above and beyond! Dr. Fuentes called Before we left The parking lot and brought some paper work to me that was needed before we returned to Alamosa which was much appreciated. His care has been nothing but Steller and I am a Nurse, so I am very aware of what can be done for the patient/Doctor relationship!
Dr. Fuentes is consistently engaged in a positive patient-provider relationship. He listens to our concerns, offers suggestions toward a plan of care without pressure. He is compassionate and professional. I do often have issues getting through to his office.
he takes time to l isten to my problem. He was straight before surgery that treatment minght have only 10 - 20% chance of sucess. But some chance seemed bettere to me than not trying the treatment. He has been patient with me.
Smart, comprehensive, active listening and developed a plan including next steps.
He was attentive and informative. He payed attention to me and explained each step in the future.
Explained procedures and options very well. Enjoyed meeting him
Dr Fuentes has excellent attitude as a doctor. Staff very helpful.
I don't recommend doctors, but I would break my rule and highly recommend Dr. Fuentes. He listens, he's a great doctor and a very nice person.
I took the time off from work. It is a 40min to get to his office. I wait in the room to be informed that the doctor is late. He was in surgery and not even in the building. The staff said he was running behind with surgery. The staff should have had the courtesy and consideration to have called me to cancel the appointment. I was not even seen by the doctor that day. I missed half a day of work for a no show appointment that was frustrating and a disappointment.

Good
Dr. Fuentes is very personable and makes you feel comfortable. He discussed many options and seems to really care about his patients.
Dr Fuentes is friendly and funny. That helps considering the reason I am seeing him. He is highly knowledgeable and thoroughly explains all my options. He asked me what me expectations and needs were and recommended an appropriate course of treatment.
so far they’re doing a good job! we’ll see how things go!
