Patient Reviews
Dec 19, 2024
Dr Tamura and staff were a pleasure to work with. I have been trying for over a year to get assistance with my condition and felt like after numerous appointments with other physicians who all seemed to pat me on the head and prescribed another pill I finally got to a doctor who listened and started me on a path to success, hopefully. For the first time in months I do feel hope. The person who gave me the recommendation of Dr Tamura was spot on: “ He ‘s the BEST in the region”.
