"Dr. Yamamura is an excellent doctor with a great bedside manner. However, he has apparently overextended himself because as a patient that has had an invasive procedure done I could not get an appointment for the results until 13 months out. If the doctor is so busy that he can’t see his existing patient for procedures he’s already performed then how comfortable would you feel, as far as his attention to detail and performing without making mistakes? I was very happy when I started seeing him, but I would not recommend him strictly for this reason. "

"I love Dr. Yamamura, I think he’s an excellent doctor and has a wonderful bedside manner. The problem is that he is stretched too thin to handle the patient that he has. I had an invasive procedure in April 2022 and my appointment to follow up for that procedure And get the results is one year later in April 2023. By the time I get the test results I will need to have the test repeated before I can go forward with the next procedure. I think this is a blatant waste of Medicare money and seems like Medicare fraud to me "

"Dr. Yamamura is a great doctor! He saved my life and when I needed my pacemaker/defib replaced I bought $1100 a month health insurance so I could go back to him. His staff should be ashamed of themselves! I had an appointment in April 2021 - a month before I needed my device replaced. A week before I went to the ER because the device was beeping. I did not know it was because the device needed to be replaced. I showed up at my appointment a week later and was not told he was not in. My appt was for 9 am. At 10:15 I came out of the room and asked what was taking so long. After prodding I was told he was not in. I was also told I was the 1st patient - which also was a lie. Luckily the people who check devices called me over and I was the first person he saw. We scheduled the surgery and surgery went great. And then things went downhill. I came in for what I thought was an appt with the doctor - only to be seen by the nurse. I swear she did not spend 2 minutes with me and gave me an appointment to see the doctor - in January!! Well one week before the January 2022 appointment (8 months after my surgery) they called to tell me they were moving the appointment because the doctor would not be in on January 19. I said no - I am not moving the appt. Nurse would not tell me why. Then she said and I am double booking on March 30 - your appointment is for 5 pm. I said great - so I won't get seen until 8 pm! And I secretly expected they would call before then and reschedule again! Imagine - surgery on May 3 with a f/u on January 19 that was now being moved to March 30 - 10 months since the surgery!! I asked again what if I have an emergency - the answer - go to the hospital! Really??? I do not understand a really good doctor could have a staff that clearly does NOT care about his patients!! I ended up making an appt with another doctor and I waited 2 weeks to get in. No question - Dr. Yamamura saved my life in 2013 when I got the device and he is a great doctor. But, he us only as good as his staff and they obviously do not care about his patients - at all! If you are ok with having surgery and not seeing him until a year later - and I do not really know how long it will be, because I have not seen him yet - then by all means schedule with him. But I have not seen him yet and that is not a good feeling!! His staff does not care one bit. Too bad - because he is a good doctor. "
