Dr. Kimura did my Liver transplant [redacted]. He and his staff have always provided me with the utmost care during the years following the transplant. I was always treated with respect and I am in great health today because of their care.

My experience with Dr. Kimura has been exceptional. From the first conscious moment that I was aware I was working with him until my most recent transplant clinic visit last week, he has been thoughtful, approachable, thorough, and absolutely professional. I can attest to his skill level given the fact that I am mostly recovered, healthy, and feeling incredibly fortunate after my liver transplant last [redacted]. Thank you, Dr. Kimura.

Dr. Kimura was lovely, quite knowledgeable, explained things well, answered questions we had, had a great bedside manner and a sense of humor. But I could tell that he knew what he was doing. He was really good at it. And there was a humility with him too. Thank you.

Dr Kimura explained a lot about surgery and recovery (can & cannot do). I was less nervous after meeting with him. He answered all my questions and didn't rush me. I think he is an excellent surgeon.

They were professional,they also got me in to appointment and put before my appointment was actually due to start ! Fast and professional! To think he replaced my liver during transplant and is still a personable person with compassion ? I've been very fortunate to have my liver doctor !
