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.

The front desk staff is amazing and thorough. Dr Ko has zero personality and horrible demeanor. He answers the phone to his office and just says, “Hello”. No into, no this is Dr Ko, so strange and unprofessional. Very weird experience overall.

This doctor charges $25 for every paper work that needs to be filled out or signed. He charges no matter if you are senior or low income. "Money hunger" is the word to use for this doctor. I don't think this is the right thing to do for circumstances like this. This doctor should not be charging people for paper work that needs to be filled out or renew. Some patient come here is because they are senior citizens or have low income wages. They are not able to afford this kind of payment. This doctor called his pt to come into clinic to renew her annual paperwork during this pandemic and charges for pt coming in to clinic for an office visit. This is not right! Pt who needs renew paper is a senior citizen and disabled, they are not suppose to come out at this time. For her to come out to see the doctor is wrong. The doctor not care able patient, one care about how to charge people from their insurance.
