Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I saw Dr K for about 3 years. Communication was always difficult. Lab results would go to the portal with no phone call. So if you’re not going in the portal all the time you’re not getting your health information on time. There’s little follow-up when you email concerns through the portal. Billing problems pretty much every time I went. No coordination with the ER if I ended up there (allergic reactions to a medication she prescribed), but the most alarming part of my experience is her lack of understanding of the impact of mental health (like anxiety) on other underlying health conditions. And she lacks compassion in that regard. Just complete disregard. Ended up being the work medical experience of my life.

I’ve seen Dr. Kakimoto as my general physician for 7 years. She’s personable, remembers details of my care, and very thorough. I can always count on her to give me an honest assessment. She doesn’t just look at numbers and test results, she evaluates you as a whole person. I trust her with anything from a work out injury to managing asthma. If I can’t get in touch with her, one of her assistants always responds back to me by the end of the day. I highly recommend Dr. Kakimoto.

Dr. Kakimoto is unlike any other doctor I have had in my 54 years on the planet. Not only is she brilliant, which of course we all hope for in our physician, but she is also kind, thoughtful, engaged and invested.Dr. Kakimoto takes her time and never leaves me feeling rushed. I always feel valued and cared for when I see Dr. Kakimoto. She walked me though a complicated year of breast cancer treatment and I couldn't have done it without her. I would recommend her to anyone near and dear to me.
