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.

Dr. Kono is always the BEST!!!!He is very knowledgeable and answer all our questions

Dr Kono is always the best and whichever medical students get to train with him are lucky to be getting the best. The medical student was wonderful as well. Very thorough.

I would not recommend
Suffocating. If you care about your health and breathing, do not go to this clinic. They don't listen to the patient. They make you wear masks even though you have a medical reason not to. They are rude and intimidating. Also, I was told that I had to fill out new patient paperwork for one of my kids who had been a patient of theirs since birth. They gave a bogus reason.

Amazing Pediatrician!
Both of my children have seen Dr Kono since they were born. I wish we could have taken him when we moved out of state. He is kind, understanding, and knowledgable. He is the best!!

Dr. Kono is AWESOME! My kids love him. He's super friendly, silly, and fun! Like a big kid, but with a medical degree, ya know?! ;) In all seriousness, my kids used to hate going to the doctor. But not anymore. Dr. Kono makes it an enjoyable experience

I am very pleased and happy with all the care that Dr Kono brought to both my boys. He is outgoing and always knows how to make my kids feel comfortable. My son gets excited when we go in for our check up. Any concern he is always so helpful. The staff is amazing too, we get called in very fast. Thank you for all the amazing work!

Dr Kono is very kind, super kid-friendly, thorough, professional, clear, and helpful. I've taken my son and former foster children to him for over ten years. He is terrific at putting the kids at ease. The staff is always very helpful and friendly and accommodating... My visits with THREE little ones ages 4mos, 13mos, and 23mos (one with special needs) were actually made easy!! I'm so happy he is nearby... if he ever moved, I would travel an hour to keep him for my son's pediatrician!
