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 son has seen Dr. Nakashima (as well as his partner) since shortly after he was born. He is now 16. Dr. Nakashima has provided fantastic care both in everyday and emergency situations. He is calm, charming, and attentive in office visits, putting patients quickly at ease and speaking to children with respect and real interest. We never feel rushed, as he takes time to answer questions and offer advice. He also has recognized urgent issues quickly and quite literally saved our son's life.

I am taking my 18-year-old daughter in for her last visit to Dr George before she goes to college. He has been a phenomenal pediatrician. He doesn't over medicate, he is knowledgeable about anything your child may encounter, and he has a great sense of humor to make the kids feel at ease. He even understands dance and sports injuries. Most importantly, he gives every patient plenty of time to talk about concerns and symptoms. I have always been very confident that my child is in the best hands.

They ignore to notify you that they don't accept the insurance they used to accept, and I was being billed with a large medical fee that I thought it is cover by my insurance. Extremely frustrating, feeling being robbed.
