Dr. Satoko Miyamoto, DO

She’s a horrible doctor. Doesn’t care about the patient. Doesn’t listen, impatient, rude and disrespectful. There are so many good doctors, so don’t waste your time on this one.

We saw her because we were desperate to find a psychiatrist for our son after his amazing doctor retired and she was our last resort. We stopped seeing her after 2 appointments. She made my son (11) very uncomfortable by asking personal questions about his body and if he’s interested in girls. (Autistic ADHD) She made me feel horrible and made my anxiety worse. She told me everything I was doing was wrong. And scolded me for our way of life. I’ve never been to a therapy appointment for my son where I ended it crying and thinking all hope was lost for him. We found a MUCH better doctor. But it opened my eyes to realize there are awful doctors out there. If you aren’t comfortable with a doctor, you don’t have to settle!

Possibly the worst doctor ever. Impatient, discriminatory (judged me harshly for my outward appearance). Seem like to me, she is highly biased based on her overseas background (she was raised in Japan, asian culture is not lenient about anxiety/depression). She does not even try to build rapport. She just sits there and demand answers from you and come up with HER own conclusions without working with you as a patient. Never explain her methods, theories or discuss with me about her treatment plan. Assume the worst of you and is highly suspicious of others for "taking advantage of the system". She seem to think highly of herself and is overly judgemental. Please seek care elsewhere. I removed myself from this office after my second visit. Her office visit was making my anxiety symptoms worse and I wouldn't want any of this experience for anyone else. If you are desperate because your on Medi-Cal, I can assure you there are plenty of other empathetic psychiatrist that you can go to!

This doctor is the worst I have ever seen. She does not care about her patients. She only meets with you 10 minutes and whenever you have issues to talk about she does want to listen. I understand seeing a therapist but as a pshycologist you should be understanding, patient and caring. she does not have any of these traits. please stay far far away from her. Telling me that I missed to many appointments and that I am fired as a patient. No compassion at all.
