My visit to the Playa Vista campus was unusually busy due to the Palisades fire. So my wait time was longer. It was understandable. Dr Nishikubo is one of the best physicians I have ever had!! She is empathetic , patient and truly cares about her patients!! I adore her!!

Dr. Nishikubo has seen me through 20 years of cancer treatment. I'm still here, which is testimonial number one, and testimonial number two is the fact that she is a wonderful, approachable, empathetic and kind human being.

I have known Dr. Nishikubo for 23 years now. She is an excellent, no nonsense, sensible, thorough Hematologist. I understand that she plans to retire in December 2025. I don't want her to retire!!! PLEASE PASS THIS MESSAGE ON TO DR. NISHIKUBO!!
