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 can't imagine a more kind, respectful, caring, and knowledgeable care team. I feel blessed to be in their care.

Dr. Imatani has been treating me for over 20 years. From my first visit I have been found him to be a very skilled and thorough professional who is also a very caring, warm human, interested in my health and well being, and me as a person. His office is always operating as a top-notch team and I can tell he treats his people with respect and support. I have been treated by many wonderful health care professionals in my life and yet Dr. Imatani is among the best.
