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.

Simply the Best
Fantastic. Dr. Oka was fantastic. As soon as he walked into my hospital room I was immediately at ease. He is compassionate, understanding and when he explained what he thought was our best option he explained it in terms we could understand and was thorough in explaining options.

Excellent surgical team and postop care. Performed a successful quadruple bypass for my father, answering all our questions in a very timely manner.

Lack of concern
Dr Oka performed an ablation on my heart, aside from the introductory appointment I never saw him pre-operation, in the operating room or at any time during my 3 days in the hospital. One of his care team took out the drains but could not answer any questions since they were not in the OR another team doctor showed up to release me from the hospital but he was also not in the OR.2 weeks later I messaged his care team that I was having some chest pain issues to no avail and no response, at 3 weeks I was having breathing issues and again messaged the Team with no response.After coming highly recommended, by a physician I trust, I am totally disappointed by this doctors lack of concern.
