    The ratings and comments seen on provider profiles are gathered from patient surveys, which are conducted by an independent patient satisfaction organization called Press Ganey. Star ratings are only displayed for surveyed Overlake providers who have accumulated 30 or more survey responses in outpatient clinical settings. While we are committed to publishing both positive and negative comments, we also maintain a rigorous process to review and remove comments that are profane, libelous, unrelated to the provider, or violate patient privacy.

      Dr. Thomas Takayama was extremely helpful, concerned about my care, explained what was happening, went out of his way to make me as comfortable as possible under the circumstances. I am grateful for his professionalism, expertise and highly trained and experienced skill set! I have already recommended him to somebody I know. I would be eager to recommend Dr. Takayama and his urology clinic in the future.

      Usually *Dr. Takayama has enough time to go over my issues. This day he didn't have as much time as I would have liked. He did however get me in touch with a dr. that could address my hemorrhoid issue.
