The patient rating score is an average of all responses on our patient experience survey. The rating averages scores for all questions about care from our providers. The scale on which responses are measured is 1 to 5 with 5 being the best score.
Patient comments are gathered from our patient experience survey and displayed in their entirety. For the convenience of our visitors, some patient comments have been translated from their original language into English while preserving their original meaning as accurately as possible. Patients are de-identified for confidentiality and patient privacy.

Dr Wada is a gem. I have a rare form of cancer - T cell lymphoma- that shows up in the skin. Dr Wada and Dr Bowling knew exactly what to look for and were as caring and patient as anyone could ask for. The nurse and EMT on the team rounded out a caring group. I may die of this but I know my team will do everything possible me to get me well or at least managed. They are super positive and it was weird to laugh HARD while biopsy procedures were being done. I felt hope for the first time since my mysterious diagnosis for the past 8 weeks. Bless you.

Very personable. Explains everything very well.
In my last visit, Dr Wada recognized that the cancer is now progressed to where I am terminal. He showed sign of compassion but had a hard time in explaining my case and long longgevit for the next while and wanted to refer me to an oncologist to explain my life. He covered up the skin biopsy to where I have to wait even though I already know th results. I guess to stall my pain.
Very compassionate and professional. He explained the condition enough for me to understand.
Understands my problem and has knowledge of treatments I didn't know existed. I trust him.
