Dr. Kawase has been my primary care physician for approximately 20 years. He has always been very kind and caring. He takes the time to answer any questions or concerns I might have, and never makes me feel rushed. He treats his patients with respect which is not always the case with some physicians.

Dr. Kawase is amazing. He actually sits down and carefully listens to you. He seems to really care. He is also very competent. With todays health care, you do not find this type of doctor anymore.

It would be hard to find a more knowledgeable or caring physician than Dr. Kawase. He's been my doctor for several years and I am very pleased with him. If you have an issue that needs follow-up care or further appointments, he always provides options for a treatment plan, gives his input and then asks you what you would like to do. I never feel rushed when I have an appointment with him which is so nice because I know many people feel like their doctor doesn't give them any personal attention and they are rushed through their visit. Definitely not the case with Dr. Kawase.
