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.

Dr. Mutinga has been caring for my mother (Rosalie Dean) for approximately 2 years and evaluating her need to begin dialysis. She is truly one of the most compassionate, personable physicians I have ever met! In addition she clinically has been very thorough in evaluating her care and pursing any necessary treatment

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Mutinga?
Visited Dr. Mutinga for my first time today and am extremely satisfied with her knowledge, patient communication, and time spent. Her level of expertise is at the top and I am looking forward to being her patient and fully expect my problem(s) to be identified and rectified (as best possible) in a very quick time. Give her a top score and she deserves more stars if that were possible.
