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.

We waited for over 2 hours and the nurse ran one test and then told us we could go. We had to beg to speak to Dr Akashi. He then proved to scribble the name of an over the counter cold medicine on the back of an alcohol wipe. Horrible service and treatment.

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Akashi?
I am so glad that my son is seeing Dr. Akashi. We first came to him because the pediatrician my son used to see was not available that day, and he was able to fit us into his schedule on a short notice. Both my son and I were really happy about our office visit with him, and we have been going back to see him ever since. We trust his care and advice (both medical and parenting). I am expecting a girl in a few months, and we will be taking her to see him for sure.

He takes his time answering questions and concerns. If he doesn't understand what I say he asks again. Took me over a year to find doctor here that I'm happy with..
