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 Kao and his staff surpass any possible rating system. Dr Kao was extremely caring and attentive to all my concerns. He was very detailed in explaining his diagnosis. He provides notes for you to take explaining his plans of action. My visit was a first class experience and superior to any other provider. His staff is very punctual, caring, and efficient. Hands down Dr Kao is the best and has my highest recommendation.

Amazing provider. Listens carefully. Choses course of actions carefully as far as testing methods and treatments. Attentive to patient's needs. Great with children: explains in a precise and understandable manner to parents and the child. Very helpful with providing the support young Anaphylaxis patients need with notes and communications with school and school districts. We feel fortunate for our child to be under his care. His office is equally wonderful.

Dr. Kao has seen me on two different occasions, for hives that no other doctors could figure out. He came up with a game plan to make sure the hives would not show up any more and make my day to day living better. Great allergist who cares for his clients!
