He seems very confident that he can help me, and I believe him. His staff is he best too! They are all so patient, kind, and helpful!

I saw a recurring add for "Double Chin Rescue" for $37 on Instagram. I'm getting old and can…read moreabsolutely use a little lifting, tightening and improvement to my jawline contour. These are the advertised benefits for this service. I made an appointment and paid a deposit of $17 to make the appointment. Strangely, I received numerous confirmation text messages and phone calls. Upon arrival, I was asked to fill in forms unlike those I have seen in any other doctor's office. This was my second clue that something was fishy. The forms were not written by a lawyer or anyone who knows how to write HIPAA-compliant patient intake forms. They were slanted towards marketing and threats that they had a choice as to whether or not to take me as a client; I had to prove that I needed their services. They asked for confidential health information but said they would not provide any confidentiality and could use information about me and my photos for marketing. I was wondering why a legitimate doctor would not hire or could not afford a lawyer to write these forms correctly, and would not follow the laws about patient privacy. Next, I was moved to small closet/room where I was forced to watch commercials about the services provided at this clinic. These were "conversations" with local talk-show hosts where they spoke with Dr. Oda. They repeatedly called him doctor, although it turns out that he has no medical licenses or education. After being shut in there for 15-20 minutes. He came in to talk to me. He told me that the services I wanted will cost $4000 for 4 treatments, but he was willing to give them to me for $2000. When I asked about the ad that I responded to, he told me that didn't always work the first time. But I was allowed to try it. He spent a minute attempting to explain the layers of skin and mentioning something about stem cells. He didn't really seem to understand it. He asked if I could afford the treatments. He didn't ask about health conditions or in any way appear to care about me, it was all about the money. Basically, that meeting felt like a shakedown and an up-sell to try to get me to use other services for weight loss. I was willing to consider the 4 treatments, if the first one had any results. I decided to try it. For $37 it seems like a good way to find out if it was worth making the bigger investment. For approx. 15 minutes I laid on a bed with something placed on my neck. Afterwards, I was returned to the small room and he immediately asked if I would pay $2000. I was not provided a mirror until I asked whether the treatment had any effect. He said it didn't always work and later treatments could be turned higher. Finally, he gave me a mirror and my neck was exactly the same. I explained that it did not make sense to pay $2000 for treatments that did not appear to work. He kept trying to get me to pay $2000. He said there was a different secret type of laser that only he has that he could use. At this point I almost laughed at the idea that there could be a secret laser that no other plastic surgeons or even med spas would have, that was effective, and only used and known by Dr. Oda. I asked him if he went to medical school. He said he did not. I asked him if he had any medical license in the state of Hawaii. He said he did not. I asked him if it was legal to practice medicine like this without any license. He said that the nurses are licensed and he works under their licenses. He said that he went to Palmer chiropractic school in San Jose, CA. Curious about whether this was true, I looked at the list of graduates of Palmer Chiropractic College in San Jose who work in Hawaii, Dr. Oda is not on the list. I searched the state of California database of licensed chiropractors to see if he was ever licensed there. He was not. There was one Doctor Oda who is now 75 years old and has a Los Angeles address. His license expired and was cancelled in 2012. Basically, it appears that this man is not a doctor of any sort. If he went to chiropractic school, he didn't graduate and was never licensed to practice in California. He is not licensed in Hawaii. Nurses are not supposed to have other people working under their license. They are supposed to be supervised, not supervise fake doctors. Ive read the other reviews where people get benefits from the lasers at this clinic. I am not saying that it is not possible that they work in some cases. I just find this guy and this business very sketchy. I told him that I do not trust him. And I am sharing this story so that other people do not get coerced by his hard-selling techniques to buy services at very high prices.

I like THIS nurse and THIS doctor. 5 stars. Now, his daughter in law and son have joined his practice recently. And just so you know, they both have backgrounds in western medicine and they're learning holistic medicine, which is trust me, a VERY different experience. They're fine but if you're looking for a holistic doctor, I'd recommend Dr Pritam Tapryal. This would be a 5 star review but it's hard when the western medicinal docs are in the room recommending western options and you constantly have to explain that's not what you want. It makes your whole experience kind of annoying. I prefer him only for now or at least until they've fully embraced holistic medicine. At this point they still recommend western options and that's not why I go to this office.

Accessibility: Poor. Attention to Patient Needs: Poor…read more Bedside Manner: Poor. Initially friendly, but quickly impatient. Interrupts, does not allow the patient to communicate. Assumes rather than inquires. Lectures rather than listens. Knowledge Base: Questionable, remedial. My Experiences: Dr. Behling was physically absent at 2 of 3 in-office appointments, unprepared at 3rd visit. At my initial assessment, the MA took my vitals, led me to an exam room, and then after a long wait brought in an iPad with Dr. Behling on a video chat app. If you work in healthcare, you know all initial assessments are performed in-person. This also happened at my third visit. It is frustrating to drive 35 minutes to an office and sit there for an hour only to discover that the doctor is on a ship in the middle of the ocean, using satellite internet with unreliable service. Dr. Behling's impatience, assumptiveness, and proclivity to jump to incorrect conclusions impeded effective communication and appropriate delivery of care. A healthcare assessment starts with the physician asking questions and listening to the patient's answers. Not only did Dr. Behling not ask the questions, but when given a small amount of information he immediately jumped to wrong conclusions and did not allow the opportunity to communicate further. When I called to report a problem, Dr. Behling refused to take or return my phone call and instead instructed his staff to set up a telephone visit a couple weeks later. This resulted in me seeking medical advice elsewhere, but Dr. Behling did not bother to ask that question either. Testosterone Pellet Placement: Dr. Behling did not demonstrate expertise with this procedure and would benefit from further education. He placed the pellets in the middle of the gluteals instead of more towards the hip. Every time I sat down, such as to drive home, the pressure of sitting made it feel that the pellets would be pushed out. I was constantly checking for correct placement. This area was very sore for 2 weeks and I now have a noticeable scar in a once beautiful area. I'm sad to say I experienced very poor delivery of care. Before writing this review, I attempted to communicate these issues to both Dr. Behling and his office staff; however, his office manager/wife was more interested in defending him than listening, resulting in her outright contradicting her own husband's medical instructions.

Since then we have been doing nutritional IVs, and supplements as well as specific herbs to target the infection.
