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. Funahashi caused my arm to become about 50% disabled. After about 2 years he convinced me to have 6 cortisone shots instead of 3 because the MRI does not show any tear in my shoulder. Before I go for the 6th shot the pain was so much that I went for the surgery. The tear was so big that he was almost going for an open surgery. After about a year when I got a copy of my medical records, he had noted that MRI showed some tears/Rotator cuffs. I hope he pays for his lies and making me suffer.

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Funahashi?
Dr. Funahashi and his ego ignored my concerns completely and forgot to give me a note for the next 6 weeks I need off from work. He cancelled my appointment and pushed me back about 1 week. He was also surprisingly rude to me. I will be seeing another orthopedic doctor from now on. It was a very bad experience.
