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.

Best, caring doctor around.
Been with her since 2003, worse health year of my life. She called me , checking on me, many times. So very caring, more than any doctor I have had in my 77 years. I see her every two years. She kept my family informed when I wasn't able too. In my eyes she saved my life.

Still waiting the doc to review biopsy results
Colonoscopy on 5/22, told to call for results in one week - It's now been two weeks and the office staff say they've left her three urgent messages to review my results. Now they tell me she will probably get back to me by the end of this week- which would be June 9. In what world is this acceptable? I am assuming that when her staff says that I need to speak with her, that this is not going to be good.

This was my first visit with Dr Misawa. What an amazing woman! Never in all my long years have I felt totally comfortable and confident with this precious woman. I’m delighted! I mentioned to her that I would be a curious case and challenge. She bounced on it. I am so grateful.

Dr. Misawa is such a wonderful and caring individual. She is extremely concerned about her patients to the point that she will call on a Sunday night at 10:00 at night just to follow up with something she was thinking about your condition. I love her practice in general. Most other doctors, you have to constantly follow up with them to get test results or to schedule follow up appointments. Her office calls US when blood work is due and then they call US when test results are in.

My wife and I both changed Doctors over 8 years ago and never had a most enjoyable relationship than with Dr Misawa. We have told friends about her and they made appointments with her and were very happy that they did.
