After receiving horrible care from another kidney doctor, I was hesitant to see a new doctor. Dr. O. surpassed all of my expectations. If I could give him 100 stars, I would.

My father was hospitalized for the cov19 and needed a refill on his bp pills and I didnt know till he got home. I called his office and he himself called a refill in to the VA and made sure he had a few pills until the entire order was ready!! That is caring for your patients. Thankful to have him as my fathers dr.

The other Nephrologist at the VA said dialysis was my Dad's only option. However, Dr. Osaguona said let's try some other treatment first. It has been four years and my Dad is NOT on dialysis. Thank you Dr. Osaguona. We appreciate you!
