Wanted to get a primary care doctor. I had met him once then came back for the exam. Both times I was impressed how he asked questions and relayed information. He appeared to be familiar with my medical history. I a felt very comfortable speaking with him.

Dr. Yamane is my primary care physician and has been for about four years. He briefly changed offices and I wasn’t able to see him. But when I saw his name on the list of neighborhood doctors again, I immediately made my next physical with him. He and his staff respond to my emails, and he fits me in last minute when he can. Not because I am special. But because he is a good and conscientious doctor.
