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 Remember When…
My husband Chris & I moved from Santa Cruz to Cambria, CA about 15 yrs. ago. Dr. Kashino had been our family doctor for about 20 yrs. at that time & we bemoaned the fact that we’d have to find a new GP because Dr. K. had been so warm-hearted & competent. One day, when C. had an app’t., he walked into his office & sat down to a packed waiting room. Suddenly an irate, rude patient could be heard insulting him in an horrendous manner. As C. was being walked to a treatment room he saw how frustrated & upset Dr. K was, so he stopped & asked him if he needed a break. Dr. K said he had many more patients to see, so that wasn’t possible. C. said his app’t. wasn’t crucial & that he’d be happy to re-schedule it. An expression of relief appeared on his face & he said “thank you”, then walked into his office for a much-deserved break. Afterward, C. & I marveled at how rare it is to find a Dr. who is both extremely skilled, but unafraid to express his human side. We still miss him so much!

Dr. Kashino is a terrific Dr. He is thorough, patient, and his office is very well. managed. Nothing is rushed. He is by far the best physician I have ever consulted. I have no reservations about being his patient.

Dr Kashino took care of my mother for years but as she declined Dr Kashino & his staff treated me and my mother with deep compassion I have never experienced in the medical setting.. He’s the Doctor we were taught to respect. He lives up to his reputation as one of the best doctors out there.

I have been seeing Dean Kashino for 30 years. He is our family doctor and delivered both of my children. I have always been pleased with his treatment, concern and availability. In that time period he has been at 3 different locations. Presently he is with Dominican which is more impersonal than when he had his own practice. I have recommended him to many other families.
