I highly recommend Dr. Hisa Yamaguchi and her staff at Eastside Surgical Associates to anyone seeking a General Surgeon and Breast Specialist. Dr. Yamaguchi and her staff were very professional, compassionate, respectful and understanding. Dr. Yamaguchi took the time to explain the process, answer all questions and provided me with The Comprehensive Patient Navigation Guide, Breast Cancer Treatment Handbook. Dr. Yamaguchi and her staff treated me with care and respect. Dr. Yamaguchi and staff handled all the arrangements for the upcoming surgery and treatment by setting up consultations with the Oncologist, Radiologist and the Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons. I thank God for Dr. Yamaguchi and her Staff of Eastside Surgical Associates.

Dr. Yamaguchi took my gallbladder out yesterday and I cannot say enough how wonderful she was! She thoroughly explained my procedure, patiently answered all of my questions and treated me with care and respect. She is confident but not cocky and I went into surgery feeling I was in the most capable of hands. I would choose her again and recommend her to anyone.
