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.

The Yuba City office is unprofessional and unorganized. I felt uncared for and ignored when I had legit concerns about my procedure. Will not be returning.

I had a most horrible experience with this doctor. I'm in my sixties and have COPD. I wasn't seeing this doctor for that, but for a spot on my face I wanted removed. It was near my nose so I couldn't wear a mask. This doctor, much to my shock and dismay took his mask off and I didn't have the nerve to tell him to put it back on. He was hovering over me for the entire appointment, not far from my face. I felt very unsafe. After I left I thought, "If he takes his mask off with other patients that may also need a procedure on their bare face, I am now exposed to them, and any one of them could be carrying the virus." I've been very proactive in my health, being very careful so that I don't contract Covid19. If I should come down with the coronavirus I blame this doctor completely. And to think that I have to pay a bill for a very distressing appointment angers me. I also found this doctor's communication and bedside manners lacking. I will never go back to him again.

Dr. Hodari communicated with me about my situation in a professional and friendly way and took care of the issues that needed treatment. His office staff is helpful and made me feel comfortable. The office is clean and lovely. I would recommend him without reservation.

Nice people but poor service and ridiculous billing practices. Not thorough and sent a bill for over $600 after. Called to ask about the charges and was basically told they can't do anything about it and that disclosing the cost of their medical services is not their responsibility

Dr. Hodari seems to be focused on the cosmetic side of his practice. I became his patient late 2015 and I initially found him to be respectful and interested in hearing what I had to say about a chronic skin condition that I have been struggling with for more than a year. As time passed, I saw him about once a month and he became less and less interested in hearing what I had to say and in taking my questions and concerns seriously. I did not get a proper diagnosis.
