"He's never in a rush. He sees you in the examination room and also in his office after the exam and takes the time to answer ANY and ALL questions... This is part of the reason why the wait is so long. He has the best bedside manner."
— Vitals (Review of Dr. Ian Ebesugawa)"After several week her staff called and told me I needed to schedule an appointment for my results... When I told her it was very stressful to wait that long she got defensive... She either needs help with time management or she needs to serve the patients she has and stop taking new ones."
