I've been seeing Dr. Nishikubo for the past 10+ years and couldn't have a better, top-notch hematologist/oncologist by my side. She is very thorough, caring and compassionate and always listens to my concerns and gives the best advice. Dr. Nishikubo was the most important bond between my surgical team and post-op care and I am so grateful to have found such a wonderful doctor and human being. Thank you!

I love to come to her office in playa vista. The people that work there are very nice and they always call me back with the results and the doctor is amazing ! I have lynch syndrome and having doctor Nishikubo gives me peace. She is always making sure I do the right tests for my follow ups.
