I am not only a VMFH patient I am an employee as well. I hold providers to very high standards. Dr Hirota was very thorough with his explanation of my possible diagnosis. He even included pictures from my chart to show me which helped me understand. He was patient with my questions and made sure I had all the answers I needed before leaving
