A Note From Dr. Yamaguchi:
I am passionate about patient-centered, holistic care. I would define patient-centered holistic care as health care that takes into consideration all of the available medical evidence we have, as well as the patient’s values, beliefs, desires, and finances. I strive to provide patients with healthcare that they believe in and can take part in. I take time to discuss all of the available options; not just the ones the medical community recommends, or even just the options that I think are best.
In my free time, I enjoy going on adventures with my husband and spending time with with my sisters and friends. I also enjoy two-stepping, swing dancing, singing, sewing and reading.
