Dr. Jerry Kiyoshige Izu, MD

I feel very lucky to have found Dr. Izu. We have only been working together for a short time, but I'll be a patient for life. He is very attentive, always call back or texting right away. What doctor allows you to text or call him at any hour of the night or day, Dr.Izu does. He is empathetic, family oriented, and so personable. He makes you feel so comfortable and is so kind-hearted. I cannot recommend him enough!!!

Dr. Izu is the best! He’s willing to help his patients when they need him! I get frequent UTI’s and will be traveling to the Philippines this week with no time to come in! I was able to call him on his personal and have a much needed prescription sent in to my nearby pharmacy. Such a savior

Doctor Jerry Izu was a very difficult doctor to work with. He kept trying to pressure me and my wife over and over again to have AC section because the birth of our child was taking far too long and his opinion. When we didn't want to do it he showed a very negative attitude and seemed like he had to be someplace else we heard him talking about some baseball game that he wanted it attend. He even mentioned the idea of foreseps, it was an outrage. Finally after an 8 hour birthprocess he started to hit us up for the circumcision of our son. Which was fine because we wanted to do that but when he finally did it he totally botched the job and took way too much skin. Our boy seems like he will be deformed because of his bad technique. He tried to act like it was normal but it did not look normal at all. We just wanted to tell people to be aware.

This doctor IZU was a very pushy and rude doctor. At first he seemed ok enough but when it came to the actual delivery of our son it was very unpleasant. My wife had a long labor and he persistently led on that he was annoyed with the fact. He almost missed the whole thing he arrived just in time, they called him with plenty of time too and he barely made it. We were worried he was not going to make it and the on call doctor would have to take over it and it almost happened. But even after he got there he kept acting like he had to be somewhere else. We found out from a nurse he wanted to be at some baseball game. He was very impatient and wanted us to go for a C-Section to speed it up, and he acted annoyed when we didnt want to go that route. My wife was not dilating enough at first so he suggested those tong things to grab the babies head and pull it out faster, and we refused. He just kept looking for ways to speed things up. It was awful and put us off. Then as soon as he was able… he was he was hitting us up for circumcision, which we were ok for but he again rushed the job and botched it quite badly, our son looks deformed he took so much skin it was just horrible. In any case be forewarned this doctor will rush and be push when it matters most and he will make mistakes with your new born.

Ok Dr Izu was terrible, he totally hounded my wife and I to so a C-section even after we told him over and over we didn't want to have a C-section. He kept telling us it would be better for my wife indicating that it would leave her more intact. Basically implying the baby was going to wreck her and stretch her out, but we know that the birth canal was the best place to pickup these essentials for a good start at have a properly setup gut biome. He didn't even seem to know about that and could have cared less, he just was convince a C-section was the way to go. After all my wife was in labor for several hours and he thought it would speed things up, but my wife was a trooper and wasn't going to take something away from our son to give him the best start. Later on hell started we didn't want any kind of shots for our son, and man things got heavy he made us seem like terrible parents for wanting to wait on stuff like that, he even made us feel like he was going to recommend calling… child services. That alone made us never want to see him again, but then the pressure came for getting our son circumsized. We were planning on waiting on that too as I never did that so I wasn't sure. I have had a couple of bad situations with infections and my wife didn't want our son to have to face that in his future so we decided to do it. But man he wrecked our boy, he took so much tissue that he didn't like anatomically. Correct, but more like he will be deformed. We are hoping he will recover and repair but man he seem to have really botched the job. Anyway it was a very stressful birth process and I would recommend anyone considering this doctor think about it first. If we could do it all over again we would go another route.

Dr Izu is terribly in patient and rude. My wife and I had moved to California with my wife near term and we needed a doctor to help with the delivery of our son. We had a few interactions with the doctor at his office and he seemed ok enough. But when it came time to deliver our son things took a turn for the worse. First of all when we got to the hospital my wife was already in labor and we had them call the doctor. Well before he was able to make it my wife started giving birth and it was the on call doctor that was taking care of it. Dr Izu did not show up in time and by the time he did our son was already born. Needless to say the doctor was very unpleasant, it turns out he had to leave some other event he wanted to be at. We saw him turn around and throw his hands up in the air with anger. He didnt want us to see that but we did. He then came to hound us about a circumcision and we were on the fence about it, but he was relentless and kept pushing us to make a choice now. We… wanted to wait but eventually with all his pressure we caved. Big mistake, he basically butchered our son, he carved away so much skin it was ghastly. We are worried he ruined our sons potential, were nervous he may have stunted his growth. Later after he started to heal the foreskin fused with the skin of his glans, its really quite terrible. We are really quite disappointed and concerned for our son future. Dr Izu really botched this job and for this reason we can not recommend him to anyone that is having a son. Be forewarned.

Dr Izu stunned us during the birth of our son. He showed up late to the birthing process and was hostile towards my wife for not wanting to consider a C-Section. My wife wanted a natural child birth and he kept telling her is would be easier and save her elasticity. My wife wasnt having it and he was getting visibly upset she wasnt going to budge. He seemed ok up until the day of the birth. My wife was in labor a number of hours beyond what was expected and Dr Izu kept lamenting about some kind of other engagement he wanted to be at. My wifes water broke and we went to the hospital we had no plans to wreck his plans. It put a damper on the birth process to say the least. At one point to speed things up he brought up the idea of using a vacuum tool to stick on our sons head. My wife was in serious pain so we elected to allow it, but now we totally regret it, it seemed to deform our sons head and it left a huge huge massive bruise on his head near his tender spot. We are worried now… because other doctors told of that serious side effects can have occurred, not its wait and see. Then after the birth he told us the baby had to take all kinds of vaccines and we just wanted to wait on all that. But he made a big deal, even mentioned child protective services if we didnt submit. We eventually submitted to a vitamin K shot, but no others. We regret that too, we really wanted to wait on this, but he pressured us majorly and the threat of child protective service scared us they may come take our son away. Then later he pushed us to circumcision also before we wanted to consider it as I am half jewish I wanted to wait. But again he made us feel like a mile high and that we were bad parents if we waited. He pushed it on us and did a terrible terrible job and the amount of skin removed was horrific, and it totally looks like he may end up deformed down there. All in all he made the birthing process very unpleasant. His attitude was a big downer all together. I would recommend avoid this doctor.

Dr. Izu is phenomenal! I transferred to him at 38 weeks after a gestational diabetes diagnosis. After my original home birth plan went awry due to diagnosis, he was the only Dr whom I felt comfortable with and he listened so well and let me advocate for myself and baby. His calm, kind and confident bedside manners made me feel safe and at ease birthing in the hospital. Labor and birth were much easier than I anticipated because of feeling this safety going in, all in it was 5 hours and baby boy came out so healthy and perfect! I am so grateful to have found Dr. Izu, his knowledge and expertise are unparalleled and I would highly recommend him to any and all expecting families!

Dr Jerry Izu was like a pushy tyrant, we had a terrible birthing experience. It was a total downer they way he treated us, he kept trying to get us to go for a C-section just because my wife was in labor nearly 18 hours. He kept trying to convince us it was a better option and that it would preserve my wife's elasticity. My wife wasn't having any of it. He kept acting like he had other places to be and was greatly annoyed at our insistence of staying the longer natural course. The craziest suggestion he made though was trying to convince us to use forceps, which was a big mistake but after like 16 hours we were getting desperate so we relented. But as I said it was a big mistake, it did help speed things up, but it also deformed our sons head. He has to use a special helmet to try and shape it normally. We are also scared that he will sustain some kinds of developmental disabilities. But it doesn't end here, the circumsision went very badly too, he just took so so much to much skin and… it has also deformed our son. It as a really badly botched job, so bad that we asked him to his face if he was going to use the extra skin in some way, and he nearly turned white. We got a bad feeling because it was in jest that we asked due to our great surprise, but his reaction sent chills down our spines. I have read other reviews of this guy where this very complaint has come up, so beware of his butchery.

Dr Izu was very pushy during our birthing process, he was late to the birth and another doctor was helping already and when Dr Izu showed up he wasn't very happy about it. He put a dimmer on things when he walking in and realized my wife was already giving birth. He threw his hand in the air and turned around and walked on miffed. He later came back and the mood was altered. We were trying to rejoice and he seems to care mostly that the other doctor had to step in early. The hospital had called him when my wife started going into labor, but he took forever to show up, then acted all mad and surprised. When the baby was finally born he didnt even bother to congratulate us he just was quite and walked away. Before the birth he had called us to see if we were interested in a C-section birth and tried very hard to sell us on the idea, but we were just really not interested. He tried to make it sound like a better idea, that it was safer and cleaner, less invasive and would not stretch my… wife out. It was all very awkward and unpleasant. His attitude was not good after we rejected the idea and he maintained this poor attitude even after he finally showed up at the birthing process. A little while after our son was born he did come back and tried to convince us to have a circumcision performed. We did already want one, but he acted like if we didnt we were bad parents, as if he expected us to disagree, it again was very awkward. Then later when he performed the procedure he seem to have badly botched the job as way to much skin was removed. It was terrible, in fact we now belive he may have permanently damaged our son, we dont think he will end up normal, the skin was fused to his glans in a very unnatural looking manner, it looks badly scarred. He seemed nice before things started not going his way thats when things turned south, we cant help but think he was angry with us rejecting his notions on C-section, and wasn't very careful with our son because of it. All in all something special turned out bad in ways we didn't anticipate. Beware.
