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.

Worst Cardiologist office
The entire office from front to back to the doctor himself. The fish always rots from the head down, so I am not surprised that his staff and nurses are the exact same reflection of him as a doctor.They are rude, phones never get answered and when I showed up in person to try to get an apt, or just a response, the nurses decided to gossip about how upset they were that I couldn’t just leave a voicemail. Keep in mind I had already left 4, also saying that I didn’t leave a call back number. But I've worked for a doctors office and I know how to leave a full msg. Then Dr. Hattori sees my mom weeks later after surgery and has the audacity to be upset that my mom didn’t have her surgery at Centinela closer to him He patched up an IV wound she had on her arm with no gauze, opening the blister again. And then claimed he couldn’t order her post op, cardiology related, labs. Now that my mom had her surgery I am 100 percent changing her doctor. This office sees patients as numbers not humans.

He's EXCELLENT, His front office staff is not!
EXCELLENT! But his appointment and front office staff are sloppy. They told me this morning that they don't take my insurance, whereas the insurance website says that they do!

Out of all the doctors I've gone to he is the only one that was concerned about my health, giving me tests to see why I was having severe chest pain I have much respect for him.
