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.

Very hood at getting information. Friendly, competent and overall a good Dr. Very pleased with her service thus far.

Absolutely incapable of dealing with patients with the diagnoses that she is supposed to treat. People with any mental health concern should be handled with care. She is rude and has no empathy whatsoever and gets frustrated with her patients who are already there to be seen for their own mental issues.

While Dr. Kakumani is clearly very intelligent, she comes off as very condescending. Just because a patient didn't go to medical school, does not mean that we are not intelligent. Another review noted her lack of eye contact and apparent disregard for the patient as a person, and I would tend to agree with that statement

I have never met an individual in her position that lacked any and all people skills. She never once made eye contact, and made me feel like I was another insignificant number. Not one time did she ever attempt to get to know anything about me as a patient. She got offended when I wanted to discontinue service and her main concern was filling my prescriptions, not what was best for my overall health.
