Patient Reviews
Mar 16, 2018
Dr. Nishikawa is the most personal, competent, attentive,warm and caring physician I believe I have ever seen. After a thorough check over he dictated the results while I was listening just to make sure he got it all right. He scheduled some tests to do ongoing diagnostic work and I am looking forward to working with him.
