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.

Love Dr Sakata. She did my sleeve surgery last year at Blossom Bariatrics. She is extremely friendly and personable. She is extremely knowledgeable and experienced so she definitely understands things and is able/willing to explain things and/or make suggestions. She takes the time to review current and past bloodwork. She listens and answers all questions. She is always positive and encouraging. She is always on time and never rushes the patient. She goes above and beyond thru the entire process. Would recommend her to everyone.
