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. Kittaka was very professional and extremely knowledgeable. Doctor Kittaka listened to my questions patiently and answered all of them. I was very impressed by how he presented himself, he was so polite and considerate, he came to the visit with my test reports and discussed all of them with me. I left his office confident that he was interested in my health issues and he would help me. I most certainly would recommend him to people I know.

A Caring, Careful Physician
Dr Kittaka carefully watches and reviews test results and implications, explores possible causes for abnormal results, including medication interaction and side effects. He shows caring and concern for all conditions and their bearing on his area of treatment, as well as recalling personal aspects of interest of the patient.

A 6 month check up follow up Dr Kittaka is the best, he listens and replies or gets back to you if he does not have a response. I will be sorry the day he retires.

The person at the reception area was fully informed about the reason for my visit. She politely requested additional information that would be helpful to the Doctor. The intake nurse was professional and thoughtful. She put me at ease. I felt comfortable enough that my blood pressure measurement was normal instead of many points higher as it sometimes is when measured at an appointment. Dr. Kittaka was great - as usual. He patiently and in non-medical terms explained my medical status and suggested some habit changes I could make to improve things. I know I was in good hands with him as he carefully examined me. The whole experience was a textbook example of how a medical office and and an appointment should be. First rate!
