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.

Highly recommend!!!!!!
Dr Kakish has been the primary caregiver, over the past couple of decades, for my parents well into their nineties. He is largely responsible for them being relatively healthy and comfortable without unnecessary interventions. Dr Kakish is also my primary doctor and I am confident in his background, knowledge and overall care. I recommend Dr Kakish without hesitation.

Wonderful doctor. Offers ways to help you before prescribing meds. He also suggests a healthy diet and exercise. He is willing to write letters and such to help you with insurance issues. He really cares. Do not hesitate to see him.

He is an excellent doctor. He is very knowledgeable about so much and knows exactly what is needed. He listens very well and our family always believes he is genuinely caring about questions that we have. He is the best internal medicine physician we have ever been to.
