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.

I will not question any positive reviews of Nathan Shishido; however, I will provide an awful experience with him following a fractured ankle injury I sustained during the arrest of a combative male subject. As a result, I was appointed to Shishido for the treatment of the fracture. It was immediately evident Shishido had some bias connected to me being a peace officer, and he was deliberately rude and demeaning. Shishido became so verbally abusive on the second visit, that my wife insisted we leave immediately. We did so. I was assigned another orthopedic doctor, who very satisfactorily treated my injury. I’d give him less than “1” if it were possible. Circa 1998.
