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.

I had an appt on a Friday. I waited there 45 min. Then the office lady came out and said he wasn't there but would be here shortly. She said there were 7 people in front of me. I decided to re-schedule. The next Friday I go at the same time. I wait 30 min. and she says he's not there. I couldn't believe it. She said he was on his way and I was #3. When he got there he came in like a bat out of ---. He talked for 5 min. He said I had a bruise. HA!!! I have a rotator cuff tear. He said exercise would fix it. Again HA! I was there for a second opinion. I got it. Stay with my regular Ortho. I wouldn't go to this dr. for a million dollars. He's conceited and a know it all.

Go See Another Doctor Now If You’re Reading This Review . My Herniated Disc Surgery Was A Failure . I’m Disabled Now . He Never Spent More Than Five Minutes In The Exam Room With Me As A Doctor . I Spent More Time With His Assistant And Office Staff . . My Schools District Ended Up Sending A Nurse To Go With Me To My Appointments Investigating This Doctor . I Was Discharged With No Future Medical Treatments Physical Therapy , Prescription Refills Etc . I Had To Find Myself A New Doctor . It’s Been Five Years Since My Surgery Now My Scar Tissues Are Infused With My Nerves . The Last Thing This Doctor Told Me Was Not To Have Any New Surgery Because He Knows He Failed With Mine .

I went to Dr. Yoshida because my co-workers recommended him to me. I had a bulging disk that was touching a nerve and causing numbness in my leg. Dr. Yoshida did not believe that the disk was touching the nerve and basically called me a liar. Because it was a workers comp case I was sent to an AME to verify the condition. The AME ordered new MRI which showed several bulging disks and a pinched nerve. A basic reflex test also showed that I had no reflex in one leg. The worst Dr. I’ve ever seen.

He LIED about knowing my condition after I Finally went to Another Doctor to get checked out! He said he Already knew about this much more Serious diagnosis! He Lied to my face! The other diagnosis confirmed my fears &also validated the level or my pain. Dr Yoshida offered me No relief, but the other doctor gave me cortisone shots in his office &my 1 Year of pain disappeared! He Also said that there were No operations available.Not true. I had been a patent for years.I'm not going back to him.
