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 Chika Kuwama has been our family doctor for years. She always spends good enough time with me and answers my endless questions! She is a doctor who tries to solve the issues with minimal medication and I have always gotten good advice from her on healthy eating and preventive care. Overall, she has met my expectations.

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Kuwama?
My husband and I both saw Dr. Kuwama on several occasions because of her proximity to our home. We had hoped she would be a good fit for our family. I found Dr. Kuwama to lack bedside manner. She came across to me as dismissive of my concerns. However, I did find her staff and office to be professional. I will not return to be her patient again.

Dr. Kuwama takes patients' claims too light and mostly dismisses by attributing to general and/or natural ailments. After I decided to switch to another doctor, the receptionist's attitude was totally mean and nasty. I would not recommend Dr. Kuwama to my friends.
