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.

Great Doctor for surgery and treatment
I have been seeing Dr. John Kao for around 5 years. He is a good listener, is very knowledgable about a number of possible issues that I was dealing with. He takes a conservative approach and at the same time is ready to reccommend surgery if need be. I truly could go on and on about my great experiences. Instead of a knee replacement at this time he did an orthoscopic surgery and it has been fantastic!! Great staff too.
