Patient Reviews
Jan 20, 2023
I can’t say enough about this office, the staff & Dr. Kahatsu herself. Would i recommend? Absolutely without a doubt! This office entirely has been life changing for myself. They’ve also been incredible assisting and helping with my elderly mothernlaw. I’m so shocked and saddened to see previous negative reviews on this page, I have to assume maybe they are reviewing the wrong doctor. I’m so confident when referring this office, and everyone Ive ever referred has loved them as well.
