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 Kita is the best!

Mariko is my favorite doctor, EVER! She immediately make me feel safe and secure while talking about my worsening MS issues. She listens carefully, has suggestions to help and calms me. I wouldn't be where I am (in my degenerate disease) without her. She calms my soul.

Dr. Kita is spectacular. She is everything you'd hope for in a neurologist: smart, knowledgeable, and experienced at her work, able to explain complex things clearly, very kind and compassionate when talking about life-changing diagnoses, and responsive to my questions and concerns. I've been her patient for 11 years, and am grateful for her excellent care.

care philosophy

'I believe people with MS should have an active role in directing their care. As such, my most important role as a physician is to provide information and choices to my patients. Because every person with MS has different needs, we believe in individualizing therapies using a multidisciplinary approach to patient care.'
