    I have been a loyal patient of Dr. Hamamoto for over 30 years. I have sent several of my closest friends and family members to him as well. All of them were delighted with the results of his surgeries and so am I. His staff, as usual are extremely courteous and professional. I will continue to recommend Dr. Hamamoto. I was taken 10 minutes sooner than my appointment and almost immediately seen by Dr. Hamamoto. He and I were both delighted to see each other. I was examined and will be given a surgical date in the next few days. A "10" for him and his entire staff. {patient info redacted to protect privacy)

    I was very disappointed with my visit to this doctor. Staff was perfectly fine. Doctor was not at all focused on me or my concerns. He spoke to his two students and into his device. He explained nothing to me. Did not give me the results of the sonogram. Did not react at all when I told him about my serious medical condition (CAA brain bleeds and seizures). He had not heard of CAA and one student tried to google it and could not find it. I googled it and found it immediately and tried to read the paragraph of explanation but the doctor was uninterested. After the examination the students left without saying goodbye and the doctor was very inattentive and did not wish me well since he was referring me to a different professional. Found him cold, impersonal, and unconcerned. Very disheartening and upsetting to be treated in such a dismissive way. Sorry to see the example he was setting for the students
