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.

My first appointment with Dr. Hakas was about 15 months ago. Nephrologists who I had seen on previous occasions were not optimistic about my CKD and I made the switch immediately after my first appointment with Dr. Hakas. He is caring, available and made suggestions that hopefully have given me more quality years. I would recommend him to anyone with similar issues (and have actually recommended him to a few of my friends). Great doctor.
