He is an excellent cardiologist. He saved me from having an open heart surgery , which was recommended by another cardiologist. I follow his advice on living and eating healthy , together w/ medications he prescribed . Here I am, after 4 yrs, still don't need surgery at this time. He requests for regular cardio tests and regular follow up visits w/ him. He treats you w/ kindness and friendliness . I don't know what I will do w/out him .

He seems to be though, but not overly prone to recommend additional tests, treatment or drugs. Sometimes does not provide explanations unless asked.

He is one of the last Dr's that care about their patients. It's very noticeable when other Dr's are threr only for the money. Dr. Kawanishi is caring and takes the time to tell you what he needs his patients what to improve on. Beat Dr.
