Because of my age (103) I don't know how many more visits I can make to Dr. Inouye. It's very difficult for me to keep appointments. But I am very pleased with the doctor's professionalism and would recommend him highly.

I see Dr. Inouye every 2 months. We tried twice a year, then, 3 times a year, until we realized I needed treatment every 8 weeks. Arriving at this schedule was trial and error. There was no pressure. We worked together to find the right timing. I also see Dr. [last name] at every visit, to adjust my hearing aids. Once a year I do a complete hearing test. If there are any hearing issues, they are addressed at the appointment.

12/17/2025
My doctor experience was great on another matter your valet service needs help I couldn't use it the line was so long
12/15/2025
My doctor, Dr. Masayuki Inouye, did an outstanding job. A's across the board. I had no problem with the doctor, but it was problematic for me. I had to make four or five phone calls to try to speak with his assistant. I never got a call back. I had to wait over a week, a week and a half to finally in the end just make an appointment. But in the beginning, I wasn't trying to make an appointment. I was just trying to get a refill prescription that I've had refilled in the past through my doctor, Dr. Masayuki Inouye. But I guess his staff didn't take me very seriously, and I was a little disappointed about that.
12/3/2025
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
12/3/2025
Dr. Inouye always explains things clearly and in a way a lay person can understand.
12/1/2025
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
11/24/2025
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.
11/24/2025
Knows his stuff and what he is doing.
11/19/2025
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!
11/14/2025
Dr Inouye was very knowledgeable, examined me thoroughly, prescribed meds that are improving my condition, and advised me wisely!
11/10/2025
Smart, caring, knowledgeable! So happy I found this provider!
11/10/2025
I waited for 1 hour to see the doctor. This is unacceptable.
10/31/2025
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.
10/31/2025
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.
10/24/2025
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.
10/22/2025
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.
10/22/2025
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.
10/20/2025
The wait to see the doctor was long, as it often is at this office. The doctor did apologize for the wait.
10/17/2025
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.
10/15/2025
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
10/13/2025
I trust Dr. Inouye completely. He understands my concerns and limitations and mixes professionalism and empathy with humor.
10/13/2025
Great thank you.
10/8/2025

Staff was very pleasant
9/26/2025
Service was excellent. Very caring.
9/19/2025
Yes, in a way I think it's very efficient, very thorough, and very easy to understand. I recommend it to anybody.
9/18/2025
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.
9/17/2025
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.
9/15/2025
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.
9/15/2025
Excellent professionalism and teamwork, attention, respect, kindness, empathy, professionalism, and hygiene. Exceptional, 100%, for the doctor and his staff.
9/12/2025
I tried to call back about my prescription, but got no response from the main desk.
9/12/2025
Dr. Inouye is very knowledgeable and professional. Very happy with him.
9/12/2025
You can have more doctors on call, more doctors there when you need them.

9/5/2025
Professional, informed, willing to listen.
9/5/2025
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.
9/3/2025
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.
8/29/2025
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.
8/29/2025
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.
8/25/2025
It's only an annual visit to get wax cleared out of my ears but it always goes smoothly.
8/21/2025
Still waiting for a prescription for 2 nasal sprays
8/20/2025
Great physician Amazing "bed side manners" Able to intelligently interpret pertinent results and provide a treatment plan of care
8/18/2025
Provider seems wonderful. Staff is horrible.

8/7/2025
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.
8/6/2025
Except for being seen later than the appointed time Dr. Inouye is excellent!
8/4/2025
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.
8/4/2025
I have seeing this doctor for about 25 years. He is pleasant and. Knowledgeable.
8/1/2025
The parking at Hackensack hospital is horrendous and is a factor in my looking for a different care provider in a better location.
7/31/2025
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 .
7/30/2025
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.
7/28/2025
Parking lot for hospital was a challenge
7/18/2025
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.
7/17/2025
The experience was Terrific and my concerns answered and alleviated .
7/16/2025
Dr. Inouye is a great doctor but having to wait almost two hours is totally unacceptable.
7/16/2025
Felt confident after I left
7/14/2025
Excellent doctor. Knowledgeable.
6/30/2025
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.
6/25/2025
He listened to my concerns and provided me with information on how to proceed with my treatment. I would most definitely recommend him !!
6/19/2025
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.
6/16/2025
Dr.is very nice.
6/16/2025
I felt like this was the first time since I had COVID that someone had understanding and empathy for long COVID.
6/11/2025
The parking garage is horrendous and makes it impossible to schedule future appointments.
6/9/2025
The staff was very welcoming and the doctor very compassionate. A 10 thru and thru.
6/6/2025
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.
6/6/2025
The office staff was great
6/5/2025
Very pleasant interaction. He answered all of my questions and gave me useful advice. Overall, a very positive expericence.
6/5/2025
Dr. Inouye was excellent!!! He is always professional, knowledgeable and friendly. If you can please only charge 5 dollars for the valet parking fee.
6/4/2025
Staff is very friendly
6/2/2025
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.
5/23/2025
Dr masayuki inouye was friendly. Did a great job helping my mother. I would recommend him to anybody. The staff was also friendly.
5/21/2025
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.
