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.

The staff have treated me so wrong this is the worst place I’ve ever been to it’s sad to say Maria is very disrespectful they continuously lie to have the doctor discharge patients because they’re very disrespectful I am very sick and because this lady has disrespected me this doctor has discharged me for no reason I have only seen his face maybe once talk to him a few times but never disrespected him or any staff but because I reported her to IEHP for disrespecting me they discharge me in the middle of a pandemic

I've only had one initial visit with this doctor but he seemed very competent and knowledgeable. Not rude or dismissive at all like some other reviews have said. He gave me a neurology referral and prescriptions, and asked me to follow up in a month. I'm feeling hopeful that I will finally get some answers after almost 20 years of pain.

Everything wrong with medicine today, embodied. Horrible "doctor". Does not provide individualized care. No eye contact, constantly checking his watch after being late 50 minutes to our initial appointment. This man has no business being in the medical field.

I saw Dr kanu today for the first time. HE is with inland Pain Medicine in Beaumont, Colton and 3 other locations here in Southern California. The doctor I met today did not fit the description I read in two other reviews. I will write again after more visits. I have chronic pain and Dr Kanu is the first Doctor in years to try a different medication. This gives me hopes for improved pain management. Staff at the Beaumont office are friendly and pleasant. Office is clean.
