That is the rudest office staff I ever spoke with. Called to get information on the referral sent to the wrong place. The office employee was mean to me and kept interrupting me. They sent a referral to wrong facility and refused to correct it and send it to the facility we go to. They just said to deal with it.

Extremely disappointing experience. I called about my husband’s severe back issues and was told the clinic only accepts patients by referral. I explained that he doesn’t currently have a primary care provider and politely asked if they could recommend what steps we should take instead.

I question why Kobiyashi chose medicine as a career. Compassion wasn't shown to me. He said, "I don't do necks. Get a referral from your PCP!" I shared I had paresthesia in my lower leg. His response was, "It's not bad enough. Just deal with it." He also voiced why he didn't agree with the radiologists interpretation. I'm a retired P M & R nurse. I was extremely disappointed in this provider.

I like Dr.Kobayashi. I have been seeing him for neck issues. He takes time to understand the issue, doesn't rush to suggest an invasive solution, discusses options and helps us decide how we want to proceed. While my chronic neck issue is not fully resolved, it is making progress and I am comfortable that Dr.Kobayashi is my best option. Only negative is that it is hard get an appointment and the appointment has been rescheduled a couple of times.
