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.

Definitely i would recommend Dr. Tanaka to family and friends. He has been a caring & knowledgeable Doctor for over 35 years for me. I know because of him, he made me healthier and stronger and I'm in my mid sixties. I appreciate how friendly and thorough his receptionist/nurse is and I'm fortunate to have him as my Physician

I am filing a RICOH and AMA complaint. The receptionist is rude and appears unstable. She told me to go to the ER and when my insurance called her to confirm she told me to go she denied it. Now i am stuck with a bill. I can never get an appointment. I did miss one appointment. And another time i calked her to tell her my back went iut and i had no ride for the next days appoubtment. She yelled at me and lectured me about being responsible.
