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. Sakai -A plus

Dr. Sakai is amazing
Dr.Sakai has taken the best care of me. I had my deviant septum repaired in March. I experienced NO PAIN postoperative. I had pain medication available and I didn’t need to take any of it. I healed up really quickly. A week postoperative Dr.Sakai removed bilateral nose splints. He was so gentle, once again & I experienced no pain. I formed a few adhesions in the following months that Dr. Sakai gently removed in his office. Dr. Sakai previously was a bomb disposal expert so he has a very delicate touch. I can not express how thankful I am that Dr Sakai was my surgeon. I am a OR RN so I have seen a lot of surgeries and I have worked with a lot of surgeons. Dr Sakai is a class act!
