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.

Retired
Dr. K was our family doctor for around 20 years. Glad he could retire, but I miss him very much.

Dr. Kanatani is the best Family Practice doctor I've ever had. And the staff is excellent. My medical concerns are always dealt with completely in an environment that is not rushed. My questions and concerns are always responded to completely and in a way that I understand. It is a comfortable place to go and one that inspires confidence.

I would recommend Dr. Kanatani to anyone. . Dr. K spends time with his patients and actively listens to what the patient has to say. When you have an appointment you are almost always taken back at your appointment time.
