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.

Terrible physician. Will tell you that certain symptoms don’t matter or that it isn’t important. Slams the door when entering and leaving the room. He also looks down on female physicians and thinks they’re quite incompetent. I would avoid this guy at all cost. You will come out of the visit feeling even more terrible about yourself.

Came with a long running hernia issue to urgent care, he suggested I go promptly to the ER for imaging just to make sure it wasn't appendicitis. Thank god I did. We had what they call an "incidental find" of Kidney cancer and which I was able to have removed within a little over a month of planning and procedures. Thank you Dr. Takeuchi!

Terrible bedside manners. Walks in through the door, makes no eye contact, not patient-centered.
