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.

Great Doc, Painful IV
Dr. Kao is friendly and professional. This is a good place to go for a colonoscopy, which is not a fun thing but an important thing. Scheduling and prep was unpleasant but very clear and well communicated.My only gripe was that the prep nurse (who was cheerful and professional) honestly did a lousy job with the IV prep. Two days later I still have bruises on my arm from the failed insertions. Extremely painful! She was complementing me on my vein structure as she 'fished around'. Yikes.Overall would definitely recommend this place for an otherwise unpleasant procedure as they are very professional and well-run. The doctor is great.

I have suffered with IBS for over 50 years. I found out that being GLuten Free helped me considerably. I was still frustrated. I was ready to look at having the problem removed. My wife found Dr Kao on the Internet. We made the appointment and drove 4 hours to see him. I wish I had known him years ago. He changed my life. If you are having trouble with IBS stop going to doctors that don't understand. Dr Kao really cares. Make your appointment today. You will be glad you did!!!!
