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.

Doctor Chihara is the best! Very professional! Very knowledgeable! Thank you so much!

All of my doctors have been excellent! The care and compassion of all professionals during my care have been unsurpassed. I would not seek treatment at any other facility.

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Chihara?
I visited this doctor in 2019 due to recurring infection that would not go away, and would return unexplainably after being treated successfully. Instead of trying to figure out the reason for this, Dr Chihara went into explicit, unnecessary details about previous STD results from years prior that had no relation to the reason for my visit, to which he also acknowledged as well. He questioned my answers almost as if he was investigating my personal history rather than interested in my overall health and the issue I visited for. He made me feel extremely uncomfortable with his line of questions and was of absolutely no help resolving the issue. I would never recommend this doctor nor see him myself again, and would hope he works on his bedside manners.
