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.

Very Knowledgeable Great Listener
He took all my concerns in stride and answered all my questions. When I returned three months later for a follow up, I was impressed by Dr Yamamoto's knowledgeable staff and appointment time management. I wouldn't go anywhere else for Dermatology.
