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. Tofoya is a nice man, however his receptionist up front was another story. This young haole girl has an attitude big time. Us local girls would have slapped her silly but did not. Everyone else was nice and kind and very understanding. After talking to the doctor about his requirements for pictures for his files I understood. But this young haole girl should learn some manners and respect for everyone, especially with us older local girls before she gets slapped silly one day.

Long wait times, over 2 hours. Majority of staff not friendly. Overcrowded waiting room with insufficient seating, so many need to stand for long periods. Exam rooms cluttered and ceilings are leaking.

I have been an RN nurse educator for over 50 years on the mainland and I highly recommend Dr. Toyfoya for retinal or any significant eye complication. I have complete confidence in this physician he is amazing and staff are highly trained. I recommend him to everyone facing ophthalmic problems.
