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 doctor makes me feel like I am her only patient. That is a great way to be with patients.

Dr. Kai's nurse was also pleasant, cheerful and helpful. She told me her name and told me my pulse rate and blood pressure. I saw her for a short time, but she was great. Also, Dr. Kai always writes good, clear notes that I can read on MyChart which I really appreciate.
