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.

Phillip Inouye showed no interest in hearing my thoughts or concerns about my diagnosis and treatment.He showed no interest in including me in decisions about my care. He, in fact, argued and lectured me in a condescending matter, when I shared my concerns about treatment options.

I felt dismissed and as if my concerns were not taken seriously or considered valid. I was made to feel like I was seeking a cure when I had at multiple times stated I was looking for counseling on how to manage the issue.

I gave fair for these answers only due to the nature of "professional to client" the provider has. Attention on device not on explaining my device, it's brokenness and what about how I gauge the cost of moving forward. "It is broken. It happens." This provider has audiology knowledge, just not a client interaction that sends me away saying, "Ok, that was helpful."

I have never had this procedure done before so was kinda scared but the provider explained everything as he went. I would most seriously recommend the care provider to my friends and family.

I went to see him for sudden hearing loss. This person should NOT be an audiologist. He wasn't listening and seemed to be staring at the wall. No help at all. I had to look up where he got his degree, because I could not believe he was an audiologist (University of the Pacific, not a good school). I wish I had read the other reviews about him not being interested in helping patients. I would suggest finding someone else.
