He opened the door to the exam room I was in (i had been waiting for 20 minutes in the exam room) and he said he accidentally came to the wrong room and stayed for a minute and asked me if I wanted to just tell him really quick what was going on or if I wanted to reschedule. I have been waiting to be seen for at least a month and it wasn't a good feeling to have him be the first doctor I've seen in over a year. He rushed through my appointment to get me out of there. The only good thing he did was referred me to get my lungs and tailbone checked.

Realize that what I was seen for may not have been PCP but I could have just been referred if the provider felt that way, I felt so rushed, uninterested in my concern then when asking about alternate treatment it wasn't a point of discussion. My appointment seemed like an inconvenience to the provider.

He was okay and seemed like he was knowledgeable about the problem; but he also made me feel uncomfortable by making comments about some of my personal items and clothing. He also didn't seem to like that I wasn't interested in taking over the counter pain killers long term and made a comment that I would be a funny patient as a result.

provider was very dismissive of my concerns and when I asked to have a discussion about possibly being referred to a specialist he essentially told me that he could tell I wasn't going to be happy with anything he said and that he'd put in a referral so a specialist could tell me I was fine. I communicated to him that I was simply trying to discuss my concerns with him and wanted to have a conversation but he refused and was only willing to put in a referral.

Dr. Sakaguchi is always wonderful; however, I definitely did not feel that his full attention was on our visit. I know he was pretty behind (totally fine with me) but I felt like a bother in asking follow up questions, and I didn't want to take up too much time despite my concerns.

This was a very very beneficial visit for me. The discussion with the Dr. Sakaguchi was very helpful. He explained some anatomy to me that helped me understand what was going on with me. He also suggested ice and heat to the area which made the difference between "night and day" in terms of my symptoms. I was able to get immediate relief. Simple things that I would not have thought of made a big positive difference to my condition. Dr Saraguchi is compassionate and down to earth making dialog with him easy, free flowing and constructive. He is a good listener but also has advice that is easy to absorb. I would highly recommend him to any one.
