2018-06-30T00:00:00Z	5 June 29, 2018	It was positive and informative.
2018-06-29T00:00:00Z	5 June 28, 2018	He was very helpful and gave me the result of the preliminary urinalysis quickly so we could start the meds.
2018-06-28T00:00:00Z	5 June 27, 2018	Dr Cai is an excellent physician and has agreed to become my primary care doctor. His empathy and ability to communicate are outstanding.
2018-06-22T00:00:00Z	4.58 June 21, 2018	The doctor was nice, I would see him again if my regular doctor wasn't available.
2018-06-20T00:00:00Z	4.17 June 19, 2018	Dr. Cai was very attentive to my injuries (toes & wrist). After discussing likely outcomes he ordered x-rays and promised, several times, to call me with the results later that day. With no calls from him that day OR the next day, Friday (apparently his day off), I called and talked to a nurse who gave me the basic "no current breaks seen." The following Monday I received a call from someone else with a little more info ("bruised bone, take Motrin and wait"). I never heard from Dr. Cai again. This annoys me because of his eager promises to call me.
2018-06-19T00:00:00Z	4 June 18, 2018	The provider was awesome. super nice and quick.
2018-06-12T00:00:00Z	5 June 11, 2018	Dr. Cai is sensitive and caring. He provided me with a list of treatments that I could use for dermatitis. He printed out a copy of lotions and skin care routine.
2018-06-07T00:00:00Z	5 June 6, 2018	I had an excellent experience during this visit.
2018-06-07T00:00:00Z	4.5 June 6, 2018	it was fine
2018-06-06T00:00:00Z	4.58 June 5, 2018	I saw this Dr. once as a follow up to a visit with my usual provider, so I was familiar with him. A resident saw me first and did the exam, which seemed thorough. When I finally saw him, he was up to date on what had just happened, and seemed to take the time to listen and answer my questions.
2018-06-05T00:00:00Z	5 June 4, 2018	Excellent provider
2018-05-25T00:00:00Z	4.17 May 24, 2018	He was fine although he only listened to my chest. He didn't check my ears or throat. I also had just had an infected tooth extracted two days earlier so it might have been good if he had taken a look at it just to be sure it looked okay. I didn't really think about this until after the appointment because I was not feeling well. He did provide me with prescription medication that was helpful. I do not want my feedback to affect my future care in your practice.
2018-05-24T00:00:00Z	5 May 23, 2018	he was prompt and listened. he focused in on a couple options for me and didn't push to have them all done at once. he said we could try one thing then try the next thing.
2018-05-21T00:00:00Z	4.58 May 20, 2018	He was nice & helpful.
2018-05-17T00:00:00Z	4.58 May 16, 2018	I usually see Dr. Winston, but he was not available this day.
2018-05-12T00:00:00Z	5 May 11, 2018	Dr Cai is not my regular Dr, but he know all my history, and was incredibly helpful with the problems I came in with.
2018-05-10T00:00:00Z	5 May 9, 2018	This was the second time seeing this provider for an acute problem . He is always very respectful and listens to your concerns.
2018-05-08T00:00:00Z	4.58 May 7, 2018	I was surprised that the doctor called me back himself and took my info/vitals instead of an MA or nurse. He said the office was busy and I liked that he didn't delay my visit to wait on other staff. I know some patients are hesitant to see newer doctors but he was very nice and personable and I would recommend him.
2018-05-04T00:00:00Z	5 May 3, 2018	My first visit with Dr. Cai. I had just changed to him for my primary care doctor and I am so glad I did.
2018-05-03T00:00:00Z	5 May 2, 2018	I have seen Dr. Cai before for a similar experience, he remembered me and used my medical record to help with this visit. My appointment time was 9:20 am. I was back in my car at 9:28. Obviously I arrived early, I was seen early, and I was on my way to get my antibiotics in no time at all. Exceptional!
2018-05-02T00:00:00Z	5 May 1, 2018	Dr. Cai seems like one of the guys and is a very talented doctor.
2018-04-30T00:00:00Z	5 April 29, 2018	Dr. Cai is great. I feel confident that he is taking care of me since Dr. Durfee has retired.
2018-04-29T00:00:00Z	5 April 28, 2018	Dr. Cai is wonderful.
2018-04-29T00:00:00Z	5 April 28, 2018	excellent
2018-04-23T00:00:00Z	5 April 22, 2018	Dr. Cai is great for a young doctor, he showed compassion and true interests in my ailments while working to make sure that i received the best treatment needed at the time.
2018-04-22T00:00:00Z	5 April 21, 2018	After being a patient of Dr. Durfee's, I was transferred to Dr. Cai due to her retirement. This was my first visit with Dr. Cai, and I was very pleased with the experience and feel very comfortable moving forward under Dr. Cai's care.
2018-04-20T00:00:00Z	5 April 19, 2018	Dr. Cai is very thoughtful, thorough and intuitive. he is a kind soul and I feel blessed to have him as my doctor
2018-04-19T00:00:00Z	5 April 18, 2018	This was my first visit with Dr. Cai, as Dr. Durfee is retiring. I REALLY liked Dr. Durfee and was skeptical anyone would be able to fill her shoes, but Dr. Cai made me feel heard and at ease instantly. I really like him as my new PCP and feel fortunate to have been transferred to his case load.
2018-04-19T00:00:00Z	5 April 18, 2018	My PCP is Dr. Simpkins, however, she called in sick the day my annual PE was scheduled. I am very grateful to Dr. Cai for fitting me into his clinic at the very last minute as I had already cancelled my clinic to schedule this appointment. As a physician, I know how annoying it can be to have to cover and greatly appreciate his willingness to do so with a great attitude. Thank you Dr. Cai for all your help!:)
2018-04-18T00:00:00Z	5 April 17, 2018	Dr. Cai is focused on patient well being. Great to have him as my PCP.
2018-04-17T00:00:00Z	5 April 16, 2018	Dr. Cai is always caring and concerned for your well-being listens well knows your history and helps when you are sick in any way he can. he is an excellent doctor and when my primary care physician is not available I am always glad to see him!
2018-04-14T00:00:00Z	5 April 13, 2018	excellent
2018-04-11T00:00:00Z	5 April 10, 2018	Dr. Cai and his staff were great to work with. As always, they were professional while maintaining an empathetic approach to communication with me. I hope they know what a great job they are doing in their respective fields, and what a huge difference it makes in the life of the patient to belong to such a fantastic primary care office.
2018-03-29T00:00:00Z	5 March 28, 2018	First time with Dr. Cai (my former Dr., Art Tai retired) and I am totally satisfied. Thank you Dr. Cai.
2018-03-21T00:00:00Z	4.58 March 20, 2018	I only wanted to see my PCP, but couldn't schedule that quickly enough, and I was very pleased with Dr. Cai.
2018-02-28T00:00:00Z	5 February 27, 2018	Very professional and understanding
2018-02-26T00:00:00Z	0.5 February 25, 2018	The doctor [...] spoke to me as if he was confused about why I was coming in and what needed to happen. He didn't ask me if I had pain. He told me to buy some anti inflammatory drugs and chew them like candy. He never examined my ankle to see the damage or swelling. He just told me to go to X ray once I am done and I will have to go pick up my own walking boot. I would have been better served by just going to the Emergency room than this visit.
2018-02-24T00:00:00Z	5 February 23, 2018	Each time I go to IHA, I feel like the providers actually care about my health.
2018-02-21T00:00:00Z	5 February 20, 2018	Dr. Cai. listened and helped to solve the problem right away.
2018-02-15T00:00:00Z	5 February 14, 2018	This doctor was very well documented to recommend the best action to take to save my father's life. Thank you for having such a good doctor in your staff.
2018-02-15T00:00:00Z	5 February 14, 2018	Excellent!!!
2018-02-13T00:00:00Z	4.17 February 12, 2018	he seemed genuinely concerned with my issue and was willing to help me in any way possible
2018-02-04T00:00:00Z	5 February 3, 2018	This was my first visit with Dr. Cai after Dr. Tai's retirement. I am very impressed with Dr. Cai and pleased that he will be my regular physician now.
2018-01-25T00:00:00Z	5 January 24, 2018	Second time I have been with Doctor Cai and really like him. Very personable and can communicate in laymen terms.
2018-01-25T00:00:00Z	5 January 24, 2018	very good
2018-01-24T00:00:00Z	4.58 January 23, 2018	I felt comfortable with Dr. Cai; he was respectful, not stuffy, open and easy to relate to.
2018-01-24T00:00:00Z	5 January 23, 2018	I don't always get a doctor I like if I don't see Dr. Moore. I really like Dr. Cai a lot. I've seen him twice now. He's great.
2018-01-19T00:00:00Z	5 January 18, 2018	Dr. Cai is the BEST!! Great doc, terrific bedside manner. Your practice and the patients you serve are both very lucky to have him!
2018-01-18T00:00:00Z	5 January 17, 2018	Dr Cai was very solicitous and instructive
2018-01-17T00:00:00Z	5 January 16, 2018	Dr. Cai was wonderful. He was very kind and listened to all of my questions with a very genuine concern.
2018-01-09T00:00:00Z	4.17 January 8, 2018	Dr. Cai is not my PCP but did a good job in working up my problem.
2018-01-09T00:00:00Z	5 January 8, 2018	It was a professional, efficient visit. I felt well taken care of.
2018-01-06T00:00:00Z	4.17 January 5, 2018	my nurse [...] was awesome. She was efficient yet also patient with me. she also did a great job explaining the patient portal.
2017-12-17T00:00:00Z	4.17 December 16, 2017	The physician was good and helpful, but during this visit I was particularly impressed with the office staff- from the person who first greeted me at the desk, to the one who checked me out, they were personable and kind and friendly and engaging. Thanks!
2017-12-15T00:00:00Z	5 December 14, 2017	*Dr. Cai is easy to talk with and is genuine with his input and concern.
2017-12-15T00:00:00Z	5 December 14, 2017	*Dr. Cai very nice and gave me quality time.
2017-12-15T00:00:00Z	5 December 14, 2017	Very good
2017-12-15T00:00:00Z	4.17 December 14, 2017	I'd like to see the providers be more mindful of washing their hands.
2017-12-15T00:00:00Z	5 December 14, 2017	He was great! very personable and helpful. made sure I didn't have any questions and helped me understand what was happen in my situation.
2017-12-15T00:00:00Z	5 December 14, 2017	Was excellent.
2017-12-11T00:00:00Z	4.58 December 10, 2017	I really appreciate how promptly IHA has you in the exam room, and then how quickly you see a doctor after that. Dr. Cai was very friendly, talked about different options, and answered my questions. I didn't feel like he was rushing off to another patient, I felt like he had time to actually talk to me.
2017-12-07T00:00:00Z	5 December 6, 2017	physician was very knowledgeable
2017-12-06T00:00:00Z	5 December 5, 2017	na
2017-12-01T00:00:00Z	5 November 30, 2017	He was helpful
2017-11-30T00:00:00Z	5 November 29, 2017	The provider came to see me very fast, I did not have to wait very long at all. He was very nice and seemed like he knew what he was doing. He also seemed to really care about what was going on with me and made me feel like I could come to him with any other medical issues.
2017-11-30T00:00:00Z	5 November 29, 2017	Terrific experience
2017-11-29T00:00:00Z	5 November 28, 2017	He's friendly and compassionate but Dr Thomas he's not
2017-11-25T00:00:00Z	5 November 24, 2017	first time with doctor knew my history explained everything to me I was impressed
2017-11-25T00:00:00Z	5 November 24, 2017	provider is excellent intelligent, efficient I felt well cared for by dr cai
2017-11-20T00:00:00Z	5 November 19, 2017	Dr. Cai is wonderful. However, my primary IHA doctor and others lack compassion and follow through. Your other doctors need to learn the great skills of Dr. Cai.
2017-11-15T00:00:00Z	5 November 14, 2017	I have many conditions and am in constant pain; Dr. Cai and his staff are helping me to cope and accept my limitations while striving to reach & maintain better health, for myself and my family.
2017-11-15T00:00:00Z	5 November 14, 2017	very good
2017-11-07T00:00:00Z	5 November 6, 2017	dr Cai has a wonderful "bed side manner". very caring
2017-11-05T00:00:00Z	5 November 4, 2017	Dr Cai was very attentive and friendly. He listened to my health concerns and gave very good professional advice.
2017-11-04T00:00:00Z	5 November 3, 2017	First visit...very impressed
2017-11-04T00:00:00Z	4.5 November 3, 2017	provider very nice and caring
2017-11-03T00:00:00Z	5 November 2, 2017	Dr. Cai is knowledgeable and caring. You are fortunate to have him on your staff.
2017-11-03T00:00:00Z	5 November 2, 2017	very good
2017-10-28T00:00:00Z	5 October 27, 2017	Dr Cai was great....showed concerned and was reassuring. Understood about problems with gut and antibiotics. Other drs aren't as considerate about that. I usually get a "take probiotics" comment which is not helpful hen you have a weakened immune system. Dr Cai totally understood that. Very considerate.
2017-10-20T00:00:00Z	4.5 October 19, 2017	I liked him. Very easy to talk to.
2017-10-17T00:00:00Z	5 October 16, 2017	I like Dr. Cai. He is nice, down to earth, listens, explains, and doesn't mind questions. I find many doctors to be robotic and/or very condescending and to have assumption that I am an idiot. I do not find this with Dr. Cai.
2017-10-11T00:00:00Z	5 October 10, 2017	Really positive experience. Went out of his way to listen to all my concerns and spent time thoughtfully explaining the plan going forward and why it was the best plan.
2017-10-07T00:00:00Z	5 October 6, 2017	Excellent
2017-10-07T00:00:00Z	5 October 6, 2017	respectful and caring
2017-10-06T00:00:00Z	4.17 October 5, 2017	he was great listened and came up with a plan for my care
2017-10-05T00:00:00Z	5 October 4, 2017	Dr. Cai met me for the first time. He was very conpassionate, enpathetic, concerned, provided appropriate plan of action, explained things well.
2017-10-05T00:00:00Z	5 October 4, 2017	The provider was kind, considerate and made me feel relaxed and cared for. I was extremely pleased!
2017-09-29T00:00:00Z	5 September 28, 2017	Dr. Kai is a great doctor. He is very caring and never .made me feel like I was wasting his time. like the female doctor I saw last time. (I love my primary doctor - Dr. Joel)
2017-09-29T00:00:00Z	5 September 28, 2017	The doctor was great, but I would have preferred to see my PCP as she knows me and my history. I know he did speak with my PCP regarding the x-ray. This was a follow-up with my PCP after an accident & Emergency Room visit. I was told that I couldn't get in to see Dr. Thomas until November. What happened to being able to see "your" doctor when needed?
2017-09-22T00:00:00Z	5 September 21, 2017	The experience was fantastic! My nurse was caring and sensitive to my needs. The doctor one of the best ever!
2017-09-20T00:00:00Z	5 September 19, 2017	First time meeting Dr. Cai. He is very kind and knowledgeable.
2017-09-20T00:00:00Z	5 September 19, 2017	Dr. Cai is makes sure I understand everything and that I don't have questions before ending the appointment. I feel like he remembers me as a person and not just a chart.
2017-09-15T00:00:00Z	5 September 14, 2017	Dr. Binji Joel is my primary doctor. She is excellent. I had Dr. Mary Durfee for many year, who is one of the best doctor I ever had in my life. Dr. Joel is on vacation. I will be seeing er on September 22, 2017.
2017-09-14T00:00:00Z	5 September 13, 2017	Dr. Cai is one of the few providers I have complete trust in.
2017-09-14T00:00:00Z	5 September 13, 2017	Excellent.
2017-09-13T00:00:00Z	4.5 September 12, 2017	Dr. Cai was knowledgeable & thorough. He was sensitive to my discomfort & needs. I would schedule an appointment with this physician again.
2017-09-12T00:00:00Z	5 September 11, 2017	Everything went great.
2017-09-12T00:00:00Z	5 September 11, 2017	Dr. Cai was professional and personable. He reviewed my history relative to current injury and discussed several treatment options. He expediently placed prescription orders, sending them to the pharmacy I requested rather than pharmacy of record. I was able to pick up meds on my return to work, the entire process was accomplished in less than 1 hour. Now if only the injury would heal so quickly.
2017-09-06T00:00:00Z	5 September 5, 2017	This is my second visit to see Dr. Cai. First visit was amazing. Don't know what happened on this visit. My appointment was at 3:00 For some reason my name was not called, and I started noticing people who have later appointments than me going inside to see Dr. Cai. I spoke to the front desk and she started apologizing, but still I had to wait until 3:35 to see the Dr. I came in for possible broken hand and Dr. ordered X-ray for me. Until now I have not received any calls to confirm X-Ray results. I still have positive experience seeing Dr. Cai, but staff need to get their work straight!!!
2017-08-23T00:00:00Z	5 August 22, 2017	excellent- he listened, explained, showed concern and caring
