SHC Patient, Sep 2015
dr morioka- best doctor i've ever had!
SHC Patient, Aug 2015
Dr. Nancy Morioka-Douglas is an excellent provider.
SHC Patient, Aug 2015
Dr. Morioka-Douglas is hands down the BEST doctor I have ever found. All of the above questions should be given even higher than the "very good" option. She is engaged, informative, friendly, unrushed, talks in understandable terms, provides tons of information, genuinely caring, etc. Absolutely the best doctor.
SHC Patient, Aug 2015
I have been seeing Dr. Morioka as my Primary Care Physician since 1994 and I have always felt confident that she had my best interest as her focus. I have seen her mature as an MD service provider who has allowed for many ways to define, understand and provide what will meet my individual Medical needs from a physical, emotional, spiritual,and professional perspective as she has taken the time to know me as a whole person and care about me with compassion by helping to facilitate more integrated, holistic solutions to support my health care needs. This approach has kept me coming back to see her even after I retired from Silicon Valley and went to Paso Robles to live my retirement dream.
SHC Patient, Jul 2015
Fantastic family practitioner. So happy to be her patient again.
SHC Patient, Jul 2015
Dr. Morioka-Douglas' care is always excellent.
SHC Patient, Jul 2015
Was nearly given an inoculation I was allergic to. It was in MyHealth record but doc didn't know! THIS IS SERIOUS!!
SHC Patient, Jun 2015
I have been seeing Dr. Morioka for 20 years. She is, without a doubt, the best medical provider I have ever had. She is patient, listens well, explains clearly and is a caring, wonderful person.
SHC Patient, Apr 2015
dr Morioka-Douglas is great! She is so thorough, caring and super knowledgable. she is always good about answering my emails.
SHC Patient, Apr 2015
Dr. Morika-Douglas always takes extra time to look at my entire medical chart and go over each individual medication I take on a daily basis. She confers with Dr. Sklarin on my thyroid medication and we always discusses my iron regime since I am anemic. Dr. Morika-Douglas is a thorough doctor!
SHC Patient, Mar 2015
I have not heard from Dr.Morioka since my xrays.
SHC Patient, Mar 2015
Dr. Morioka-Douglas is absolutely the most caring and knowledgeable physician that I know. I've been going to her for over 20 years and I would never want to go to someone else as long as she's practicing.
SHC Patient, Mar 2015
My care provider has always given me excellent care and always spends time listening to my concerns if I have them.
SHC Patient, Mar 2015
Dr. Morioka is the best!
SHC Patient, Mar 2015
I was fortunate to find Dr. Morioka about 23 years ago. She is the first doctor who remembered me on a return visit and seemed to truly care about my health. Over the years, she keeps up with changes in my life and somehow remembers details about my family and my experiences. She is amazing. I have seen other doctors, even in the Stanford Family practice, who I refuse to see again. Once I experienced the quality care that she provides, I no longer wanted to tolerate the attitude and impatience of the other doctor with whom I had a poor experiences. (She was my obgyn during my first pregnancy) Dr. Morioka is the best doctor for me, and I drive the extra distance to see her on the das that she is in the office.
SHC Patient, Feb 2015
I have already recommended Dr. Morioka-Douglas to family & friends. They are now patients of her.
SHC Patient, Nov 2014
I saw this doctor twice. Both time she is in a rush & rush through the whole exam. My questions seems to annoy her.
SHC Patient, Oct 2014
Dr. Morioka is much more than a provider... she is a friend, a counselor...
SHC Patient, Sep 2014
It's helpful to use the internet to communicate with my provider.
SHC Patient, Sep 2014
Dr. was rushed ended appointment before all my concerns/questions were addressed (I was asking her questions as she walked out the door) AND she didn't follow up/even after reminding her via My Health") on referrals.
SHC Patient, Sep 2014
Dr. Morioka is very knowledgeable & displayed concerns for both physical & mental well being of the patient. However, I feel at times she seemed dismissive of possibility of problems based on a excellent health history (patients).
SHC Patient, Jul 2014
The doctor didn't treat me and referred me to 3 specialists I got cured at home without going to any specialist.
SHC Patient, Jun 2014
She was gentle, smiling & caring though I met my doctor for the first time.
SHC Patient, May 2014
This provider was outstanding! Her recommendations were evidence-based and practical.
SHC Patient, May 2014
