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've been visiting with Dr. Otaka for about 20 years now. He is one of the few that actually listen and not only wants to treat your ailments, but get to the root cause. He won't prescribe meds unless absolutely necessary. Some extremely rare qualities in this Doc.

Yes I would recommend Dr. Dean Otaka to my family and friends. I have been going to him for years. He always showed me respect. If it wasn't for his treatments and knowledge. I honestly believe I would not be alive today. Every time I leave his office I feel great. He listen to me and, and know how to treat me. He will be my doctor as long as I live. God Bless Him.

Dr. Otaka is one of those old style doctors that actually care about their paitents. They don't make them like that anymore. I. I'm lucky I started seeing him before others found out how good he was.
