Patient Reviews
Mar 24, 2023
From start to finish, my experience with Dr. Kikkawa, his amazing fellow, and team was exceptional. Wrangling a toddler in a doctor's office is never a relaxing experience but we were met with such warmth and quality care. Scheduling and communication with the office has been a walk in the park. Dr. Kikkawa was thorough, timely, and possesses a kindness that is not always felt in a medical setting. I left the appointment with a strong understanding of a plan for my child and I could not be more thankful for this team and their dedication to quality care.
