[staff] at front desk was efficient. [staff] got me back and in to a room to see the dr earlier than the stated time for my appointment. Dr Ishii was very thorough with the history taking and examine of the sore on my nose. He explained why he was referring me to a specialist for a biopsy rather than doing it himself based on my immunocompromised status.

I am beyond grateful for Dr. Masaru Ishii. He educated me on things I feel I should have been told about decades ago, as well as gave me best practices to move forward with and when to return. This was one of the best doctor appointments I've had in a long time. Best ENT visit for me, since last seeing his wife in 2013.
