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.

Absolutely my favorite doctor
Dr. Onishi works in Lompoc, CA out of the local Sansum clinic. Sansum is a very respected company. The local office is very easy to locate and access, with a spacious, clean parking lot next to the building (free, too). The staff is slightly slow and I think they could be a little friendlier, but overall they do ok. Dr. Onishi himself is a wonderful doctor-friendly, understanding and very encouraging. He always has the time to talk about my health, both physically and emotionally. He gives great advice in a low-key, gentle manner and I appreciate his good advice!

I wasnt asked to write about Dr. Onishi, we often only hear negative things, complaints when someone hasn't treated us how we think we should have been treated. Now that he's leaving Sansum for something new I wanted to pass on my apreciation for a job well done. Onishi has been my primary for many years, I wanted to say he was great. Always had a smile, asked about my lifestyle to make sure I was staying on track to live long, and was always quick, no waiting. He never seemed to worry about m
