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 became Diabetic TYPE 1 in 1984, In 1988 I as referred by Dr Kevin Huntsman to ENDO Dr Rhie. I was a Brittle & Unaware Diabetic with highs and lows and frequent hospitalization monthly. Dr RHIE recommended to my insurance that I be placed on the Disetronic Insulin Infusion Pump. My hospitalizations dramatically decreased as did the Highs & Lows. After he left to work on computer entry medical records I was assigned to Dr MAYEDA with whom I was well taken care of with my health a priority. Very satisfied with treatment from these doctors and St Joseph's.

Seemed confused while taking my health history, had to go over things more than a few times. I printed out test reports that he didn't have on my second visit. Didn't see anything in my test results, even though my testosterone is a few points above low on two tests, basically said I need counseling, there is nothing wrong with me and said I could leave. An endo where you can get an appt within a week and accepts HMO, not a good sign of a doctor in demand. Sink in his exam room was filthy.
