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. Ishimaru is the 5gh OB/Gun that I've seen in my 85 yrs. She Is very busy, but she is patient and listened to my concerns about my US, conditions, and reasons for my visit. She will follow me annually. Her explanations and consideration is are greatly appreciated. I'm glad that she has accepted me as a patient.

Dr Ishimaru is an amazing doctor and out of all the physicians I've been to during my pregnancy, she is the most thorough, caring and respectful. I feel that I get the best care from her and her team at the Redondo Beach office.

Love talking to. MY OB-GYNECOLOGIST. One thing that I'm having a hard time is to get a schedule for her, she's always fully booked a year ahead, so the receptionist just said that I will call to the clinic mid Dec 2024 so I can have an appointment with her nxyr, 2o25. Hopefully, I can get one. That's the only issues I have with her, it's hard to get an appointment but over all GOOD JOB..I don't want to change my OB-GYN, I love my Doctor, Denise Ishimaru, MDGod Bless!

I had an issue with my early pregnancy. I was glad that I was able to make an appointment with Dr. Ishimaru on the next day I called in. I was very worried but she explained for me to understand easily and ease mine and my husband worries.
