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 HAS A GAWD COMPLEX I RECOMMEND YOU RUN FROM HIM
Dr I-Feng Kao shows zero concern for patients. He gave me TYL3N0L for severe pain. Refusing stronger narcotics despite my cancer history. I explained his suggestion makes my stomach bleed internally every since my cancer surgery in 2020. I only asked for one pain free day but he ignored me and walked away. In the end I asked for a referral to a chiropractor since my insurance covers it. Yet again, he refused. I said fine, I just need to see that you add your protocol answer into your EPIC records system, as a side note. He said yes but 45 minutes later it still wasn't added. Another 25 minutes to add the note that stated, 'he didn't recommend a chiropractor for a lumbar radiculopathy.' Guys, Google it. That is a totally Google suggestion to help with that. This doctor is unprofessional. He must of passed his medical exam by one point. All he saw in the test were do$$ar bills. Request another one of you get this one.
