Dr Nishikubo has been following me for many years. She has a lovely "bedside manner"- calm, caring, asks questions & also provides very good explanations. I really appreciate that I never feel rushed In my appts, her timely follow up for any questions/concerns I've had and she's proactive. Although I need to commute to see her , I definitely feel I'm in good hands.

Dr Nishikubo has been my oncologist for 16 yrs. She has always taken the best care of me. She listens to me & always has a solution or orders all the correct tests/exams that I need to help get an answer. I could not ask for a better healthcare provider than Dr Nishikubo. I am so very fortunate to have her as my physician.
