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.

The quality of professionalism.
I've been visiting Dr. Watanabe for 6 years, the care she put into her patients is amazing. I feel confident with the treatment and information I receive From Dr. Watanabe is informative and give me a better understanding of my issues. without a doubt I would recommend anyone who ask me where's a good podiatrist.

Dr. Watanabe is a wonderful podiatrist! I've been to her 3 times thus far for some issues with my feet. Not only is she superb with treatment, her bedside manner is remarkable. She's friendly, remembers things that we conversed about from previous visits, shows compassion & genuinely cares about her patients all around well being. I'd definitely recommend her services :)

She is excellent. She carefully diagnosed my issue with my left foot. She then offered solutions; treated the area and relieved the pain. I have followed her recommendation. Today my foot is greatly improved. I am no longer Limping and the pain is down. It was a pleasure to have Dr. Watanabe treat my sore foot.
