Dr. Inouye always explains things clearly and in a way a lay person can understand.
Dr Inouye found my issue right away after several doctors told me nothing was wrong he listened and was very caring and I sending me to his colleague in the expertise I need
Great appointment. No problem Dr was great explained and answered My questions about My medical problem. The office was exceptionally clean and in order Staff was polite Would recommend this office and doctor
It's very difficult to make an appointment with a doctor. Nobody answers the phone and also when we were there during the last visit, we waited over an hour. The receptionist was not there and nobody took care of us. And nobody tried to find out, are you waiting? Nothing. This is not the first time. Last time was the same thing. The receptionist was not there and was not really helpful. Basically, it's hard to make an appointment and the receptionist are not helpful. That's all. Thank you.
Knows his stuff and what he is doing.
Dr INOUYE is a very professional and respectful doctor. I've been going to him for many years. Please do something about the parking situation! It is terrible!
Dr Inouye was very knowledgeable, examined me thoroughly, prescribed meds that are improving my condition, and advised me wisely!
I waited for 1 hour to see the doctor. This is unacceptable.
Smart, caring, knowledgeable! So happy I found this provider!
The staff I found to be very, very pleasant, very efficient, and the doctor is an all-around grade A doctor. I love Dr. Masayuki and he was very, very good. Thank you.
Dr. Inouye is by far one of the best doctors I have in my group that I go to. I've been going to him for years and I recommend him to many people already. They've all been very happy and satisfied and thanked me for doing that. Thank you.
I don't think you need any improvement. Dr. Inouye was absolutely perfect. He explained everything in detail, left out nothing. I was very, very happy and satisfied with my visit.
Dr. Inouye is incredibly warm and knowledgeable and gentle. He's an extraordinary listener and seems to quickly get to the heart of the issue. He has been my surgeon and continues to be my doctor, and I feel so grateful to have met him.
Dr Inouye was very kind and answered all of my questions. He took his time and did not rush the visit. He was very supportive as well.
The wait to see the doctor was long, as it often is at this office. The doctor did apologize for the wait.
I think Dr. Inouye is the best and I wouldn't give him up on anything and I would recommend him to anyone who wants a doctor like Dr. Inouye. He's a wonderful man. I enjoy going there and he's very gentle. I recommend him highly. Thank you.
The doctor was great but I had a hearing test with the audiologist right after, it was a little uncomfortable because she smelled really bad, like she needed a shower
I trust Dr. Inouye completely. He understands my concerns and limitations and mixes professionalism and empathy with humor.
Great thank you.
It was a very good experience
The office staff was very pleasant from the smiling front desk staff to the medical assistant that took my history. Everyone was very friendly and welcoming i was very comfortable in this office. The doctor explained everything in great detail and I felt very confident in his knowledge regarding my current issue. I would highly recommend this office. Very special people!!
Very knowledgeable and helpful provider.
I felt very comfortable with this doctor and plan to see him in the future. Thank you.
God Bless Dr. Inouye and his team!
Staff was very pleasant
Service was excellent. Very caring.
Yes, in a way I think it's very efficient, very thorough, and very easy to understand. I recommend it to anybody.
He has trouble listening. He'll listen just enough to make a diagnoses before performing an actual evaluation and then rushes you out. When I spoke up and described the rest of my symptoms, naturally it was all in my head. Nothing he can do. The nurse was more capable, helpful & listened. At least the doctor performing the hearing test was professional.
Yes, the doctor was very nice and listened to me. But the phone call, if I had any questions, nobody answered the phone. I had to try like half a day, even the office was open, nobody picked up the phone. So they need to address that. Thank you.
Dr. Inouye is an exceptional doctor. I would recommend him very highly. He's very knowledgeable. He has good relationships with patients, with me, and I was very fortunate in having him as my physician. Thank you. Goodbye.
Excellent professionalism and teamwork, attention, respect, kindness, empathy, professionalism, and hygiene. Exceptional, 100%, for the doctor and his staff.
I tried to call back about my prescription, but got no response from the main desk.
You can have more doctors on call, more doctors there when you need them.
Dr. Inouye is very knowledgeable and professional. Very happy with him.
Efficient and professional--everyone !
I am constantly impressed with Dr Inouye and his staff. Everyone is kind, courteous, patient, respectful and has a great attitude. The office is immaculate and tidy. Dr Inouye is very knowledgeable and pleasant. I highly recommend going to his office for treatment.
Dr. Inouye is exceptional with his knowledge and expertise.
It's not the doctors, it's the place. It's just a difficult place to get to. Parking the car is a big problem and we give them the car and still it takes forever to get it back. It's just going to the place that's so difficult for me because I'm old and I'm handicapped. But as far as the doctor's concerned, they're fine.
Professional, informed, willing to listen.
Everyone at the hospital is very, very professional, and they are very, very nice people. Everyone that I came across, the nursing staff, the doctors, everyone. I definitely would recommend anyone to come to your hospital. It's definitely top-notch, and it's just an amazing place. I would recommend my whole family there.
The provider was excellent, his people were very helpful. The wait time was a little long, but that's somebody who services so well and cares about his patients so well. It's very acceptable. I really appreciate the visit. It's a good experience.
I visited the provider with 2 concerns and he addressed them both. I will be back for future appointments and would recommend to friends and family.
It's only an annual visit to get wax cleared out of my ears but it always goes smoothly.
Still waiting for a prescription for 2 nasal sprays
Great physician Amazing "bed side manners" Able to intelligently interpret pertinent results and provide a treatment plan of care
Provider seems wonderful. Staff is horrible.
Great experience
His ability to correctly diagnose my issue changed my life
I am very pleased with the medical care , attention and understanding of my medical needs
I received excellent response from the entire staff during my visit with Dr. Inouye. I am so pleased that Dr. Inouye was recommended to me and I am now able to be under his care.
I have been a patient for years. He always answers all of my questions and concerns in a manner that I am able to understand. He takes the time to look at my history and advised me accordingly. He is very personable and patient.
Except for being seen later than the appointed time Dr. Inouye is excellent!
Dr. Inouye is an excellent doctor. It's just unfortunate that you generally have to wait at least one hour from the time of your appointment to see him.
I have seeing this doctor for about 25 years. He is pleasant and. Knowledgeable.
The parking at Hackensack hospital is horrendous and is a factor in my looking for a different care provider in a better location.
Dr Inouye as always very compassionate. Ive stopped seeing him for a while because of insurance change, when i came back yesterday of another problem my thyroid , he was still very concerned about the care of my ear. This means a lot , i felt so secured and confident under his care as i always been eversince , i started seeing him 10 years ago. I strongly recommend Dr Inouye , aside from his expertise in his field , his compassion I truly appreciate. Furthermore the staff are polite and very helpful .
The doctor was more than 45 minutes late seeing me when I was on time, and he seemed a little bit disconnected with my situation. He just didn't seem like he was totally present.
Parking lot for hospital was a challenge
I waited an 1-hour & 1/2 for doctor. We were not informed of any delays. I felt rushed & not all of my concerns were addressed. Hopefully this does not happen again. Was not a good start.
The experience was Terrific and my concerns answered and alleviated .
Dr. Inouye is a great doctor but having to wait almost two hours is totally unacceptable.
Felt confident after I left
Excellent doctor. Knowledgeable.
I am so upset about waiting time, I waited one hour twenty minutes which is so annoying, front desk should really need to work on this.
He listened to my concerns and provided me with information on how to proceed with my treatment. I would most definitely recommend him !!
He was very professional and made me feel very comfortable. One of my problems I have is vertigo. He showed me how we could eliminate it and gave me an exercise to do daily. It was good to know that we could possibly get rid of it. again I think he was excellent.
I felt like this was the first time since I had COVID that someone had understanding and empathy for long COVID.
Dr.is very nice.
The parking garage is horrendous and makes it impossible to schedule future appointments.
The staff was very welcoming and the doctor very compassionate. A 10 thru and thru.
I was made to believe that I was going in for a biopsy, not a consult before a biopsy. After confirming they had the paperwork/data that was needed, I was given a phone number to call and schedule a biopsy. When I called, I was told that I had to hand deliver a cd before I could even schedule the biopsy, even though the provider had said they had everything and the number was just to schedule the biopsy. If I had known, I would have brought it with me to my appointment, as I live about an hour away and work full time. It feels like there is no communication, and since the doctor made it seem like my nodule is somewhat of a big deal and should be removed on the sooner side, this feels like prolonging anxiety.
The office staff was great
Very pleasant interaction. He answered all of my questions and gave me useful advice. Overall, a very positive expericence.
Dr. Inouye was excellent!!! He is always professional, knowledgeable and friendly. If you can please only charge 5 dollars for the valet parking fee.
Staff is very friendly
Wonderful staff, didn't have to wait. Doctor was personable, which is very important to me! He had to scope through my nose and it's the first time that procedure wasn't excruciating for me. Answered questions thoroughly and I feel I could reach out if necessary anytime in the future.
Dr masayuki inouye was friendly. Did a great job helping my mother. I would recommend him to anybody. The staff was also friendly.
I wish the wait time was not so long, but my appointments are usually at the end of the day, so I understand things get behind. Dr. Inouye is great, and I trust him.
Dr Inouye and his entire staff are phenomenal. Everyone is caring, professional, knowledgeable and concerned about each patients well being.
Dr. Inouye is a fantastic doctor. He is a great listener as well as a very competent doctor.
Everything was very positiv
Dr. Inouye is first rate. Feel like I am secure hands when seeing him.
Everything was easy, I understood everything and he answered all my questions.
The visit was excellent. The doctor gave me all the information I needed and I would use him again. Period. I would recommend him to other patients also.
Great Doctor awful wait time
Front office staff was very welcoming and caring.
This was the first time my husband and I had visited Dr. Inouye and we were very impressed with him. We would definitely go back again. We made appointments for the next time and we've already told family and friends, thank you for offering such a decent man who actually knows what he's talking about.
He is very knowledgeable/experienced , thorough and willing to spend time with patients to discuss all the available treatment options and the best available treatment plan for the patient.
Waited too long at the receptionist desk. She was the only one taking calls, dealing with patients in queue. However, she was polite and gracious.
I would like to know if I can schedule a visit for my mom who is like 70 plus.
The best thing you could do is access more parking space. I had to park two blocks away to get to the appointment. Other than that, everything was just beachy.
Doctor was transparent and explanation of the situation was easy to understand. He displayed excellent bedside manners and asked if we had any questions before the appointment concluded. Prescriptions were almost immediately sent to the pharmacy.
Dr. Inouye and his staff were excellent. So thank you very much to all of them.
It was a great experience. Dr. Inouye put my mind at ease which was fantastic! I highly recommend him to anyone.
I very much like the doctor. He explains everything I need and I'm an old lady and I ask lots of questions and he's always very patient yet very professional. He looks right at me in my eyes and talks to me and I just think he's the best and so now I do recommend him to everybody I know, my family and my friends. So I couldn't have anybody better. I like him the best. Thank you so much.
The front desk check-in was quick, but the people in the front were not personable, they did not smile, and for the most part, no eye contact. There's additional training in professionalism. Not disrespectful, just disengaged and no eye contact.
Dr was attentive and answered all my questions clearly very nice staff also. Excellent Dr and very knowledgeable and kind
Dr INOUYE is marvelous, I have been seeing him for years
did not resolve my situation, sent me to do an audio and pressure on my ear and instead of checking to see why is the reason that I'm having the issue that I explained to him, instead he referred me to a oral surgeon or a neurologist which is not the point. I think he should have tried to help me even better. Just the fact that he just looked into my ear and said it was fine I don't think is the the best answer for myself.
Best of the Best
Dr. Inouye was patient and kind and explained my situation . I would highly recommend Dr. Inouye as I felt confident in his explanation and the treatment he prescribed.
Very welcoming and gentle with my ear issue. Excellent doctor.
My doctor is very, very thorough. He explains everything to me and he's so patient. I would recommend him to my family and all of my friends.
The visit with Dr. Inouye is always excellent! He listens, encourages discussion for problems & solutions. The issue we have is this new system of getting to speak with the office. I DO NOT LIKE A MIDDLE MAN!! It take twice as long to get to speak with the office! You can call me to discuss!
The parking situation is terrible!
I felt Dr. Inouye listened well and explained what needed to happen and I left feeling calm and confident that I had made the right decision in choosing to use him as my surgeon.
Very efficient use of time. Great staff.
Dr. Inouye was very courteous. He was helpful and explained how I should take care of my ears. And he gave me some advice. He was very courteous and helpful. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to others. Thank you.
Confident of successful outcome at this time...
I felt that the doctor explained everything clearly so I could understand it. He spoke English so it was easier for me to understand it and I left very, very comfortable in what is going to happen with my surgery. So I am very, very satisfied with the doctor. I thought the experience was terrific, the visit was terrific, so I am very happy with it.
Thank you
Doctor Inouye was very pleasant, had great bedside manner and was very comforting. He explained everything perfectly without making me feel stupid. He provided multiple solutions and presented a reasonable treatment option.
Professional courteous and pleasant:
We have seen Dr. Inouye for many years and his expertise and insight is terrific.
I had a very positive experience, not only with the doctor and the audiologist, but also with his staff.
Amazing doctor and staff.
The provider was very helpful, very attitude good. Even at the desk as I went in, very pleasant. As I visited the doctor the entire time, it was pleasant.
Dr Inouye has a great bedside manner.
They are very professional in every aspect.
Thank you.
Dr inouye was great but I waited 1 hour and 15 min for my appt
Yes, we waited an hour and a half to see the provider.
I have been with Dr. Inouye for decades at this point and I drive an hour and 15 minutes to see him because I've moved away. That is how wonderful I think he is and I will continue to do so as long as I can. I cannot say enough about how much I like him and how much I have confidence in him.
Yes, just wanted to say it was a very good experience. The doctor was very professional, very patient, listened to all my questions and I have a follow-up visit scheduled which I'm glad to have occurred and I would recommend him to anybody. Thank you.
Dr. Inouye took the time to look at my test result and explain what was needed and the pros and cons of each choice. He was very thoughtful and listened to my concerns and provide insight into what to expect. I really appreciate it.
I waited 1 hour to see the doctor. I had a feeling he didn't know I was waiting for him in the little room after nurse checked me in. It was a terrible experience as I rushed to get to the appointment on time and I live over a half hour away. This made my appt stressful.
Dr. Inouye is one of the best providers I have ever dealt with.
Excellent Dr.
Dr was very eager to listen to everything. I said about my health concern - ear infection - and the history of how I had been feeling with a sinus infection prior to the visit. He explained everything he was going to do in great detail, had concern for my condition and gave me a treatment plan that was highly effective giving me almost immediate relief from symptoms.
The parking was terrible and the parking lot is too confusing. Walked around for a long time before I could get to my car. Getting there was just as bad, trying to get into the garage.
Unfortunately, the receptionist who greeted us was more interested in playing with her Instagram than she was with actually assisting.
Very happy..
The only thing, is that one of the front desk people was on their cell phone the entire time I was in the office, arguing with someone.
Dr. Inouye is the epitome of professionalism. There's nobody better.
Very. Good
It was very difficult to get a hold of a live person directly related to Dr. Inouye. I always ended up going through an answering service and it ended up being a phone tag. Not to mention the appointment was difficult to schedule for the following year. Again, I had to go through the office and wait and hope that I received a call from the staff. It was a very difficult and somewhat antiquated system to set up. Otherwise, my visit with Dr. Inouye was very, very good.
Dr. Inouye is a highly skilled doctor-knowledgeable, attentive and efficient. I have been seeing him for many years for various problems and he always knows the correct treatment.
Dr. Inouye came across as extremely knowledgeable. However, he seemed very impatient with me or annoyed. So that did not go down well. But I would see him again because he was very knowledgeable.
Extremely rude and inefficient staff. Took many calls to schedule an appointment and the staff did not respond to any messages left. When pressed, even refused to schedule an appointment. By far the worst staff I have ever encountered
Dr Inouye is always professional and pleasant to deal with. Explains scenarios in a manner that the patient can understand
We had to wait over an hour to be called and we were not notified of any reason. Also had to cancel our hearing test because we had another appointment.
Dr Inouye is fantastic! He definitely listens, comprehends, respects what you say, spends time.... and is compassionate and caring - Unlike many... actually MOST doctors. I have already, and will continue to highly recommended him. Btw: the first ENT I tried to see couldn't/wouldn't schedule until sometime in January - though I had been sick for 1 week already. Dr Inouye's office got me in asap, and after the medication he prescribed ... I was feeling better within 2 days!
