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.

Very Caring, Prompt & Takes Time With You
He's prompt about returning calls or picking up when I call him. I have supreme confidence that I can call him anytime I need him. He's caring and kind. He offers holistic choices as well as traditional ones when treating you. His wife offers a fine line of skin care only available thru physicians AND we get a discount as a MDVIP member. He's close to my home which is huge plus. Being a MDVIP member is well worth the price because I can get in to see him the same day or the next day. Otherwise, I'd wait 1-2 weeks to see a regular PCP and there's usually a long wait in the waiting room. Some of my other doctors are hard to get a hold of. I have to go thru layers of people before I can talk that doctor's staff. With Dr. Okamoto, I can speak to him directly or his staff with no hold times. His staff is very friendly and treat you with courtesy and respect. He informs me about cutting-edge new medical procedures and tests that are optional but that I can consider now or in the future.

Annual Wellness Check Up
Patient and thorough in explaining things, gives great information and guidance. Went over prior years numbers against the most recent and made recommendations on how I can improve. Great doctor!

I can talk to my doctor about anything
That's what sums it up, Dr. Okamoto is easy to talk to and gives you the time (about an hour if needed) to discuss your healthcare issues. What other doctor will do that? In the past, I've had doctors that make you wait a half hour in the waiting room and then see you for 5 minutes. A MDVIP doctor like Dr. Okamoto will do a complete examination of your medical condition and take the time to make sure you're in the best of health.
