I had a long list of health concerns for Dr. Yamane today and he helped me navigate all of them. I left feeling well cared for.

Very pleasant experience from check in to check out. Was seen on time, everything went smoothly from the exam room to the labs (and Indidn’t pass out this year!)

Dr. Yamane is the best physician there is. I am so grateful that he returned to the area. My daughter and I panicked when he moved to Oregon. It was a dreadful reminder than we were lost without him, and were extremely worried about our care and health going forward. I was left with a doctor who was nowhere as thorough, devoid of a “bedside manner”, who examined from her stool across the room, and did nothing to address my health issues that the appointment was made for. There were several other people who said healthcare was not was it use to be. Thank goodness that has changed with Dr. Yamane here in Goleta, or now Westlake Village. We will travel to whichever location he is in. My daughter’s health and comfort is extremely important to me as well.
