What Our Community Says

"When I started seeing Dr. Reyes, my diabetes was in very poor condition. My HbA1c was over 8, and in just 4 months it has dropped to 5. I am progressing very well little by little with Dr. Reyes’ help. She has taught me how to eat better and has given me the right medication to support my improvement, and I no longer have to take insulin. Thank you, Dr. Reyes, for your help, especially given my financial situation."

First of all, I want to thank Dr. Priscilla Reyes for helping me start the process of getting healthy. I am currently uninsured, and had been feeling horrible for months before I saw her. I was suffering and experiencing  horrible headaches, dizziness, and fatigue.

I went to see Dr. Reyes in May of 2025, and she took me in quickly and ran some tests and blood work. My diagnosis was diabetes and my A1C was 9.5.  Dr. Reyes quickly prescribed Libre Free Sensor, Metformin, and Berberine to help me control my blood sugar. She explained thoroughly each medication and diets to follow. I have been following her instructions to get healthy. 

Dr. Reyes ordered blood again in early August, and my results read that my A1C came down to 5.5. I will keep following her instructions  and advice to get healthier. I appreciate the time and support Dr. Reyes showed  me and my journey to a healthy life."
