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 Nishikubo combines a warmth and care for each patient with being an excellent doctor of medicine. A patient couldn't ask for more.

She's great. I'm sorry she will be retiring at the end of this year. She has been my cancer doctor and she's excellent. She will be retiring at the end of the year and I will have to find another physician who is a cancer specialist.

I've always had good experiences with this provider. She is not my primary care provider but my followup oncologist after my first oncologist retired. I received the sad news that she will be retiring at the end of this year. I will stay with her co-worker for checkups next year.,
