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.

Always
Love Dr. Kyaw and his whole staff…..been going for years he is the Best!!

Waste of time
I understand that there is waiting times but 1.5 hours to be called back into a room and then another hour in there to wait for the doctor to see you is not okay. What is the point of an “appointment” and coming the 15 minutes early they request you to be if you won’t be seen until almost 2 hours later

UNBELIEVABLE!
The system of making appointments, understanding what is expected of them and always misleading, are factors that this office, staff and nurses all need to work on! Out dated EKG equipment.Appointment: scheduled and office was closed when I came for my set appointment.Expectations: what they say and what they do on many occasions are VERY different.

Dr Kyaw is an excellent doctor. I'm not completely satisfied with some of his staff.

Pay attention to everything the people above said. The office is a train wreck. I've been trying to get a report on a test I took a month ago. No luck. Stay away.

I give 0 star if I could ... Worst experience ever ... They don't return calls ... They charge services that I didn't get .... Long waiting time (over 1 hour) even with appointment several times ... The office staff is very nice, but inefficient, doesn't know what they are doing.

Dr.Kyaw seems to be a referral specialist. The back office is HORRIBLE!! I Can't get meds renewed in a timely manner, wait days upon days for a call back. Then they get it wrong or keep asking for the same info. I hope I NEVER have to depend on these people again.
