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.

Doctor Mekai-Vekima is the greatest doctor I have!
This Review is for the service I have received from Doctor Margaret Mekai-Vekima over the past 20 years as her patient. As a Type One Diabetic, I have been able to have earnest conversations with her. This includes my self care successes, as well as at times, my failures to do things I should! She has never judged me, but rather appealed to my need to protect myself, in order to protect my family! I love her personality, her advice, and her care!

My mother is a patient of Dr. Mekai‘s. She lives in an assisted living facility and is seen by Dr. Mekai‘s physician’s assistant. Despite several attempts, I have never been able to speak to Dr. Mekai. Despite being placed in hospice care, a visit to the hospital, and the coronavirus, Dr. Mekai does not feel the need to reach out to her patients. I have never in two years been able to speak with her regarding my 92-year-old mother’s care.Unconscionable.

Dr. Mekai is a great doctor and very caring and knowledgeable professional! I am a senior patient and felt very comfortable from the very beginning to the end of my appt. She answered all of of my questions and addressed all of my concerns. So glad I decided to go in and see her. As a patient, it means a lot to have some one take care of you that has a natural, genuine care and compassion for what they do. It means so much!!

Excellent. Have seen her for 8 years now, was recommended by a Dr at hospital when I was inpatient. Even though I have moved to a different city, I still drive to see her and would hate to ever have to change Drs.

The wait is extremely long, and then Dr. Mekai didn't spend long with me or ask questions about the health concerns I mentioned. They wouldn't renew my perscriptions without seeing me every three months, even though I have been taking them for years and they had no concerns about them. Also they charge a fee for filling out simple paperwork for the insurance, and they didn't bother to call me with the results of my blood work even though I asked them to, specifically.
