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.

Terrible doctor! He operated and completely botched up a relatively easy hernia surgery causing a lifetime of pain. Had to have the whole surgery redone and had complete abdominal reconstruction by another northwestern doctor. Toyama was inattentive, completely lacked concern, had terrible bedside manner; he had zero follow up, had no PA or nurse who calls after surgery; ended up in emergency room several times. Look for other doctors before you choose this one.

I waited until six months after my surgery to write this review just to make sure it was as successful as I thought. I had a double inguinal hernia repair with mesh done by Dr Toyama and am still in a little bit of awe about how smoothly everything went. Never had to take a pain pill, had very little discomfort even the night of the surgery and was back to full activities six weeks out. Also his office assistant Connie is a gem of a human being and you can tell she really cares.
