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.

Found a good one.

Dr. Taniguchi was kind to me during our virtual visit. He seemed very knowledgeable and answered my questions. His staff and nurse were very patient and kind. Did everything they could to help.

Dr. Taniguchi has been my doctor since early 2013, I have Reflux disease and had to have an Endoscopy to check on the symptoms I was experiencing. He spent a lot of time taking my history and explaining the procedure. He really put my mind at ease. The procedure went well. My husband sees him for his every 5-year colonoscopies and really likes him. Dr. Taniguchi is professional, caring , not pushy- gives you many options and spends quality time answering your questions. Highly recommended!

Worst doctor ever. Was suffering from chronic nausea, rapid unexplained weight gain, other problems from a bad b/c pill. He did two invasive tests, confirmed diagnosis, and then proceeded to berate me for being "fat". He said "calories in, calories out, that's all there is," and "I guess we could check your gallbladder but we won't find anything because you're just a hypochondriac". Have since been diagnosed with low cortisol and adrenal fatigue, low thyroid. And gallbladder was removed. Awful.

Do not see this man. The epitome of incompetence. Prescribed a 100-200mg dose of a medicine that is intended to be taken at 10-20mg dose. Did not notify me, only the pharmacy when I attempted to refill it.
