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.

I would NEVER recommend him to anyone. He is more interested in putting info in his computer, than listening to you. He doesn't pay attention to you as a patient. There was a problem with my blood work, and the office said everything was fine, and he had signed off on it. Fortunately, I later cked my own results, and found issues needed a chg. in medication. I wouldn't have known this had I not checked my results online a few weeks later. A lot of people don't chk their own online. BAD

Dr Oyakawa I've been seeing Dr Oyakawa since 2005. You're just not going to find a better M.D. anywhere. Friendly, professional, and he never leaves any stone un-turned. He wears many hats helping people with anything from infections, pneumonia, diabetes, pleurisy and everything in between. You couldn't pay me to switch Doctors. He's the best around. Surrounded by a great staff you're in great hands with Dr. O.

I have no hesitation to recommend Dr. Oyakawa to my friends and family and others. He is professional, very knowledgeable, always completely answers my questions - and he is kind. That is important to me, also.

Had good experience with Dr. Oyakawa. His office staff -- specifically Kathy G. -- is nice but borderline incompetent. Very poor experience with the office staff. Would go elsewhere.

Very compassionate and understanding. He actually makes you feel he is listening to you and doesn't come across agitated or shrug you off. He makes you feel like an equal and it's easy to talk to him because of this.
