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.

He use to be the best however he let's the staff treat you horribly and bill incorrectly ! If you question anything they are insulting and a once caring dr is no longer that. Wondering what is going on there that a Dr. would change so drastically and allow what is happening over there continue! They over billed even the insurance company sent letters stating this is the amount they could bill and they still over billed by hundreds ,we paid because of our credit and his staff saying the the most rudest of things. Yes I am certainly considering to report the office to the medical board.

The Drs. in this office are very good; however, the office staff, especially Patrice, are unkind, rude and passive aggressive. How sad they work in a helping field being mean and cold hearted. Also, the staff neglected to return my numerous messages regarding innacurate billing. Fortunatley, Dr. Travis, a partner of Dr. Kobayashi, is an excellent doctor, performing superb surgery on my extremely torn planter’s fasciitis. I am grateful as I can now resume dancing, biking and power walking.

Dr. Kobayashi is a wonderful skilled Physician however, his lack of regard and concern for how is office is functioning is extremely disappointing. The Huntington Beach office is staffed with rude, unprofessional assistants most especially, Claire & Alyssa. In comparison to other offices, the employees run the show instead of the Dr, who doesn't seem to care about providing excellent service in addition to quality of care. Neither employee has respect or regard for their job or patients.

Dr. Kobayashi came across as friendly and knowledgable about the bunionectomy procedure I had scheduled with him. Unfortunately I've had recurring pain for the last 1 1/2 years since the surgery. He said he couldn't figure out why so I got a 2nd opinion. The new Dr. said that during the original surgery a nerve was severed which caused nerve damage and the bunion has also returned because the toe was under corrected. If I could turn back time I wouldn't have had this done!
