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.

Dr. Tomooka has been both of our boys' primary care pediatrician for over 9 years. We are also pleased with the care and concern he has during our visit. He quickly sent us to the ER when our youngest son showed signs of appendicitis. His diagnosis was absolutely correct. We couldn't be more grateful to have a doctor like him.

My family loves Doctor Tomooka! We have two children who get wonderful care from him. With our first who has a rare condition, he was honest in his knowledge about the condition and did his research to help us the best he could. He coordinates well with the other doctors our daughter sees and calls us at home with any information he receives. He is a great doctor, takes his time with his patients. The office staff and MA's are wonderful and we always leave feeling great.

Dr. Tamooka was referred by a few people, when our pediatrician closed his private practice. Mind you we had just had our second child and he was in the middle of his vaccine boosters. It was a stressful time for us, and Dr. made the transition very smooth. I would even go as far as saying the change was a blessing in disguise. I feel with Dr. Tamooka that the services we are getting are more advanced, and the care is genuine!
