    Because I was very satisfied with the care that I received from Dr. Yamamoto , he was very patient and he took time to explain everything regarding the procedure that he was going to perform, which made me comfortable.

    Terrible experience this doctor doesn’t care about my care. He didn’t want to let me tell him about my past medical history. Past medical history was an important key factor of why is was visiting him. Incompetent doctor. I felt he was dismissive about everything I conveyed to him about my discomfort and pain.
