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 Yamanaka saw me for 8 months when I experienced shortness of breath, fatigue, rapid pulse, headache, and incessant coughing. During that time, my symptoms kept getting worse, but Dr Yamanaka dismissed them during each office visit - he'd roll his eyes and smirk when I asked for specific tests and claimed I just needed to use a neti pot. I switched to another doctor who made an immediate diagnosis and started treated, resulting in a full recovery. I do not recommend Dr Yamanaka

Dr. Yamanaka never takes his nose out of his computer. The entire appointment is watching him type. He listens to the lungs and goes back to his computer. You sit for 10 to 15 minutes while he types in silence. He answers you in two words and if you don't ask questions, he has nothing to say.There is no connection here. I'm tired of ongoing appointments and the only thing that gets done is if I ask for it. I'm not the doctor!!

If there were a -5 stars, it would be too high a rating. Proceeded to provide a diagnosis of an inoperable and terminal tumor after performing a biopsy. It is important to note that he even admitted to not being a surgeon or an oncologist while giving this diagnosis. His arrogance and cruelty are astounding.
