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.

Direct and professional with a caring approach. Takes time to explain and fully understand the person behind the patient and their medical history.

Dr. Mark Takata is an extremely skilled surgeon! He has done two surgeries on me both laparoscopic which was a much easier and less expensive procedures. Dr. Takata is confident and his I can do it attitude is exactly who you want when going into your body! Recently, I was very sick from an infected Gallbladder and luckily got a second opinion from Dr. Takata. He removed my Gallbladder and sent me home the same day. I feel fantastic!!! After two wrong diagnosis thank goodness I went to Dr. Takata! He possibly saved my life since I only have one kidney and had I gone septic, It could have been much worse. He cares very much about his patients and does such a great job of putting them at ease. He is a wonderful surgeon!!!
