Was there anything that you feel was outstanding?
Dr. Taira recognized and practiced cultural awareness. He made me feel comfortable and built rapport based on this. Additionally, he explained the changes in my medical conditions and what that meant for symptoms, medications, and my care plan moving forward. He is very intentional about making sure I understand, have input in, and am comfortable with every aspect of my care (e.g. medication changes, monitoring side effects, etc). He also makes sure to ask at the beginning and end of my visit if I have any concerns that I’d like to discuss or questions.
