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 Hori is thorough about my medical problem and answers all my questions. He does speaks very softly so it is a bit hard to hear him times, Staff seems to change often, His MA Jasmine is very polite and pretty much runs the office by herself and does a a great job doing it.Would recommend to a friend

I didnt even want to leave 1 star thats how unprofessional this office is. Dr. Hori and his staff are unprofessional and rude. You cant question any procedure or they get defensive and start treating you differently. If you dont agree with them and God forbid you have to cancel and appt. they start shunning you. Won't call you back, wont follow up with appts. and flat out LIE. Ive never experienced such behavior from a Dr.s office. I will never refer anyone to this office of horrors.
