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.

The Best!
My kids actually enjoy their visits with Dr. Nishiyama. He listens to the parents and takes the parents concerns seriously.

Dr. Nishiyama is an excellent doctor, who has both incredibe medical competency and a wonderful way with children/ young adults. My children ( 25-17) have been under his care for 17 years and at every age, he knows exactly how to relate and chat with them about all aspects of their health. He is an amazing, kind doctor. I highly recommend him.
