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.

Dr Okimoto will always give you all the time you need to communicate about your concerns. Our family has known him and has been seeing him for years. We always return because he is a most excellent, caring and competent doctor!

Dr Okimoto is very thourough and attentive with my family’s care. We have been going to him for many years. We have friends that have been going to him for years as well. He is a brilliant doctor and diagnosed me right away when other doctors missed it! And you can tell he really cares about people.

our family has been patients of Dr. Okimoto for many years. The office has declined rapidly over the past few years. Sick appointments are non-existent and the gals that answer the phones are very non-professional. My husband called right at 8am and they said no sick appointments available for 5 weeks. Upon discussion and said ok this evening you can come but only have 10 min in exam room. The following week called for our daughter and nothing for 3 1/2 months with no exceptions.

Bonjour Tout le Monde: My mother and my sister, for more than a decade, are under the care of the Honorable Dr. Dean Okimito. Dr Okimoto saved both of their precious Lives, and if they are alive today it is because of his care, expertise, and knowledge. He is dedicated to his Profession, and his patients. He works long hours, and his staff are so dedicated and kind too. We adore him, and every day we are sending our blessings towards him and his lovely staff. Que Le Bon Dieu Vous Bénisse tous.

We have been with Dr.Okimoto for many years as or primary doctor. He is great. Recently my wife has had medical issues with her back ..his assistant Kristy has been NOTHING BUT HARD TO DEAL WITH.....BECAUSE OF HER I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND Dr.Okimoto because of the issues with her. She is rude, unhelpfuL and NOT compassionate or patient friendly in ANY sense of the word....She is NOT an assist to St. Jude or Dr. Okimoto. Completely rude, as to even hang up on my wife..she also takes DAYS TO CALL BAC
