    I found Dr. Nakamoto to be very good to talk with. She listened well to my concerns, and answered many of my questions. She even offered the suggestion that I could make another appointment in 2 weeks to get more of my questions answered.

    Nakamoto does not ever address my plunging haemoglobin levels and sends me to ER where I get no help at all. Nakamoto refuses me life-giving dialysis care

    Dr. Nakamoto has always been wonderful. She's professional yet I feel a sense of friendly warmth.
