Toshio Yamauchi MD FAAP

Dr. Y is very patient with my newborn and me! Of course as a first time mom, my husband and I had a ton of questions. Dr. Y answered every single one with a smile and a few jokes.
My sister’s kids have been seeing Dr. Y since they were born and it’s been 9 years.
The best part is that you’re not waiting in the waiting room for an hour before he sees your baby like other doctors’ offices I’ve been to.

Dr. Yamauchi was my pediatrician from childhood to adulthood. I don’t know exactly when I started seeing him, but it was certainly before I even started primary school.
Dr. Yamauchi has been a pediatrician for many, many years and it is clear that he loves his job and loves children. Even when I was sick as a child, going to the doctor was fun! He was always very gentle and sensitive to my fears be it the otoscope or shots; there was no such thing as being scared of going to see the doctor. I don’t know if he still does this, but after my visits when I was very young, he would give me a scented tongue depressor with a smiley face drawn on it for good behavior. I would cherish it the entire car ride home. Only good memories with Dr. Yamauchi. :)
When I finally started going to see the doctor without my parents, Dr. Yamauchi was always very attentive to my concerns and listened carefully through my ramblings to discern the problem. He always did a thorough checkup on my general health and then tackled specific issues. There is no doubt in my mind that Dr. Yamauchi offers the same respect and attentiveness to any parent and/​or child. His staff are friendly, accomodating, and have saved me from impending doom by helping me out with last minute medical record requests and paperwork.
