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 compassionate and knowledgeable.
I've been with Dr. T since the 90's. Never had a bad experience. He was always caring and took the time to talk and answer any questions I had.

Dr Tatsuno is an excellent internist who treats all patients with care and dignity. He is well versed in his profession and spends the time explaining to patients their state of health and what can be done to improve their well being. He is very supportive but strict when when he needs to make a point. I recommend him very highly.
