Patient Reviews
Mar 31, 2023
My husband and I were patients of Dr. Shimazu for over 10 years. He was like the old fashion doctor who knew how to treat any kind of medical problem that came up in our time as his patients. He was up-to-date on the latest medications and knew whether or not a prescription was covered by the insurance. He would literally run from patient-to-patient down the hallway to each of the exam rooms to make sure he didn't keep anyone waiting too long. He practiced medicine on a pro-active basis to assure his patients stayed healthy rather than waiting until they became sick. For many years, we drove 2 hours to our visits to Dr. Shimazu but sadly, when we moved to another state we had to say goodbye. Since then, we've never had a better doctor who actively strived to keep his patients well which he did in a most efficient manner with upmost knowledge. We sure miss him and there is none better!
