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.

Great experience. Warm and friendly front office staff. No wait time. He is caring and listens and pays attention to your concerns. Makes you feel at ease to discuss embarrassing conditions ( if you have it, you know what I mean)

My 19 year old son had unusual symptoms and Dr. Yamini diagnosed it at the first visit. He took a very thorough history and all the time he needed. He scheduled the studies he needed to verify his diagnosis of a relatively esoteric, rare condition. And he was correct. Completely professional but still very real and friendly. Toni, his office manager, is superb as well. She makes everything so easy and her follow up is perfect. Couldn't have asked for a better experience.
