    Dr. Ryujin is one of the best doctors I have been in a LONG time. He was so caring and listened to me and asked so many questions. He looked at my health beyond just being able to sleep and talked to me as a whole patient. I felt so well taken care of after speaking with him. I wished he could be my doctor for everything.
