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.

During COVID when no other doctor was willing to see me for my serious Psoriasis issue, Dr. Arakaki gave me an urgent appointment. Since then he has treated me for my condition and has managed the condition is utmost care.

He is super rude and doesn't care much about what his patients have to say. The day I saw him, he was in a hurry to get the visit over with. I was quite disappointed and am not going to see him again. Waste of time and money. Avoid this doctor.
