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.

The best doctor
My family and I have been seeing doctor Nip for many many years since she first opened her practice. She is very thorough, caring and professional. I would highly recommend her to everyone. A plus all the way!! Keep up the great work.

I have been seeing Dr Nip Sakamoto for over 10 years. I was told she was the best. As time went on I realized that wasn’t the case. She is for sure a very pleasant person but the quality of care is far less. She has overcome too many patience’s which suffers her ability to know you personally. You have to wait several months before you can even get a appointment even though you have had skin cancer. The office staff is not very friendly and they give you the impression of not a caring atmosphere. My son also went to see her with issuer with cyst that formed in his ear lobes and she just drained them. It wasn’t till he went to the mainland when they actually removed the whole thing so it wouldn’t grow back. I don’t even want to get into the family issue but my daughter who had lipomas on her abdomen and literally left caps in her stomach which is clearly visible. This Dr Nip has no bed side manners and displayed anger on staff and patience along with parents. It is sad to say that Dr.’s display no interest and have ANY personal patience relationship skills. I no longer go to DR Nip Sakamoto for these reason and have found someone who takes you in when need be and listens to your concerns.
