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 was told by another doctor for Lens Crafters that I was blind in my left eye due to a detached retina... when sent by DMV to opthamologist- Dr. Sakamoto was the only one taking appointments- and after an exam told me that I had a bad cataract but that I am NOT blind in that eye and will need surgery soon- that was almost 2 year ago.

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Sakamoto?
I have always taken my family here, I used to take my grandma to his father. I take my dad here now, however the receptionist is extremely rude, mere mentioning that my dad is having trouble driving set her off. Being a doctor myself I would never stand for my staff speaking to patients in such a curt and rude manner. Hearing your patient out is not what should be considered angering. And responding to them suggesting you don't have time to take note of their chief complaint is unacceptable.
