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.

Great bedside manner and made me very comfortable with my treatment plan

The doc told me I would have "homework", but until I read all the info when I got home I did not realize all I needed to do. I didn't feel that was explained well at the appointment.

Honestly, I was very nervous because I did have a few concerns about the procedures, but as soon as Dr Kobashi walked into the room, I felt very peaceful. Her positive vibe and kind smile made me very comfortable, and I think I am with the right caregiver. She has a very positive ora and a professional way of explaining the subject's content. Thank you, Dr Kobashi, for just being yourself. God bless,

Arrogant - spends most of appointment looking at computer and typing as you’re talking rather than engaging with you.

I had two surgeries with Dr. Kathleen Kobashi. The first one was in April 2014 and the second one in Oct. 2018. Both surgeries fixed my urologic problems In addition, Dr. Kobashi's bedside manner and her supporting staff are both excellent.
