I can not begin to give enough kuddos to this Dr. He was my Dr, in Greenville NC. He knew what was going on the minute I saw him. I had no clue what was going on and how things ended up, but this man saved my life and listened to me and was there when I was in tears from all the pain I was going through, He was very kind understanding and hopeful . I miss my Dr. and will let you know you will not find a better, caring, understandig and kind Dr. them him ..

Dr. Yamaguchi is the BEST in my opinion. I trust him completely. He told me the good and the bad and made me comfortable with both.He made me feel like I was his only patient. And with his schedule I don’t know how he did it. He came by my room several times while I was hospitalized. I knew the last time he came in my room would be the last time I would be able to see him because I live in NC and he was leaving the state. Dr.Yamaguchi I have shed quite a few tears since you left. I really miss you. Thank you for taking care of me. Kim Brinson
