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.

Excellent Dr. I have been going to Dr. Yamase since he started practice in Clackamas and then went to Canby. My husband has been going after his Dr retired years ago. We have many friends that go to him and everyone loves him. Anytime I have had to go to a specialist, surgeon etc and they see Dr Yamase name, they say “patients rave about him”. Very caring Doctor and looking forward to seeing him this month for our annual appointments. Lee
