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.

he seems ok, sometimes not a good listener and appointments can seem rushed.

If I had a dog I wouldn't recommend him to Takei for surgery. He might be a good surgeon, and that is up for debate, but everything that he does involving that surgery is suspect. He has absolutely no beside manners. He is very abrupt and his ego gets in the way of him doing a good job. He REFUSED to answer questions because it would just upset the patient. He blamed an infection that my wife got on the hospital. After the surgery we discovered that he is not very well thought of by doctors and

He was extremely rude to myself and my parents when explaining my procedure just before going into surgery. He was just as rude for my follow-up appointment. Talks to you and leaves as quickly as possible. He scowls at you when you ask questions, as if you're an annoyance to him. He talks to you in a condescending I don't wan to be here/lets get this over with/I'm too smart for you sort of way.

I came to him a total basket case due to shameful non-care from another surgeon. My six inch abdominal incision had split open, spewing yucky discharge. Dr. Takei has stayed on top of every change, every set back, every improvement over the past several months. This type of wound can take a year or more to heal. Unfortunately, a set back requires surgery next week, but I trust he'll do what's necessary to get me back on the healing trail again.
