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.

Will Never Use this Doc Again
Such a long story but basically he performed a procedure I knew nothing about. When I began waking up, I remember him glancing over at me. I was in so much pain from the procedure and I woke up with a horrible migraine. Days later it still hurt but his nurse said he “never’ gives anything for pain. I even reported this to the patient advocate but knew I was hitting a dead end. The doctors notes in Mychart made it sound like everything went perfectly. After reading these reviews, I at least know I’m not alone. What a horrible human.

Dr Mach has no bedside manner. Cold as a dead fis
Took 2 minutes. Chastised my use of medical Marijuana. This guy is a total Joke, If your GP recommends him, say no. 38 years in practice and he hasn’t learned a thing.

An excellent specialist who truly cares. A very responsive, on-top-of-scheduling-and-billing staff. Overall - a very positive experience.

I called Dr M. in distress during the week via his answering service. When Dr. M. announced that he was on the phone, "Dr. Machiko!" I said, "Good evening doctor, how are you?" He responded with, "I'm busy, what do you want?" After seeing and trusting him for going on twenty-five (25) years, I held in what I wanted to say in response as I KNOW THIS MAN AND HIS WAY. I contained myself and told him what was up and was abruptly told that, "We're NOT doing any elective scopes!" I told him the CT SCAN shows that I have an impaction and "I KNOW THIS IS AN EMERGENCY!" His response was, "Call my office in three (3) days! To that I say, "WOW man? You're a pompous a** and you've seen my a** for the last time!" Who in God's name needs a doctor like that? If you hate your job THAT much, change your career already.

I would give him negative starts, but that's not an option. Rude, arrogant, and uncaring. After going to an educated, caring Gastro doctor, I believe his demeanor is due to his lack of knowledge. Can't answer a question if you don't know the answer.

The rudest man I have ever come in contact with let alone a doctor. Lacks professionalism. Talks down to patients. Insults patients just for asking more about a medical conditions. See the patient about 1 month after test and tells the patient the complete opposite of what he told their family member the day of the test. Complains that the hospital gets all the money from the insurance and tells the patient of right your are insurance dependent.

Dr Machiko has a very low tolerance for questions about the health issues, procedures or care that you see him for. There is a condescending aspect to his manner that is uncomfortable. And after you go through that, you realize that he is unreliable too. I prefer not to write details, but trust me. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS DOCTOR.

I liked Dr Machiko from the first visit-a bit abrupt, but so competent. After my Endoscopy at the hospital, my husband was led to a room with a desk & 3 chairs. But, Dr didn't sit, he poked his head in, told him two sentences about my prognosis and said the nurses could answer the rest. I could have still liked Dr M, until I called his office today. His nurse was BEYOND UNPROFFESSIONAL- a nightmare. It's ok if your doc is busy, it means he's good. But if staff is bad, no communication- not good.
