Dr. Suzuki listened closely to my problems. He was committed to helping me get better and said to come back by X date if I was not better. This made me feel cared about and that we would get to the bottom of things one way or another. Thank you.

May 25, 2017Deborah S.Verified patient
He's an excellent doctor. Great bedside manner, quickly go to the diagnosis. People complaining about feeling "rushed" obviously don't understand how many patients doctors have to see in one day. And I never even felt rushed, I thought he was very friendly and efficient!
April 19, 2017Ramsay I.Verified patient
Dr. Suzuki was able to diagnose a problem that I had for several years and prescribed a treatment. Very professional and efficient.
April 23, 2017Initials hidden
I called ahead to let the doctor know that I may be late because of traffic, but I still arrived on time.
While I was driving, I received a call where I was informed that "the doctor just called into an emergency, take your time". When I arrived (on time), the doctor was in the reception, and obviously not on emergency - it seemed he had just taken another patient ahead of me.
I was completely fine with this - I just didn't like the fact that I was lied to. Then the lady at the front desk left and avoided me until it was time to check out, because I told her I had taken time off from work to come for the appointment, and needed to leave in a timely manner as well - I could tell she knew that I knew she had lied. Not cool.
The doctor was pretty good, even though I felt a little rushed and had to pay for twice the time for parking. However, this review is based on the entirety of the experience, which was compromised slightly by the doctor's support staff.
Maybe next experience will be better, eh?
April 5, 2017Mustansir J.Verified patient
Great visit. Dr Suzuki asked the right questions and was able to give a quick diagnosis and recommend treatment. Very personable and funny too!
March 17, 2017John H.Verified patient
Dr. Suzuki was great. He was thorough and meticulous, took the time to really explain to me what was going on, and cared about who I am as a person. What more could you ask for?
February 16, 2017Catherine G.Verified patient
Dr Suzuki is amazing. We visited other doctor because of what looked like life threatning flu complication. Dr Suzuki's diagnosis was so accurate that he only asked to do that blood test. Results came positive and treatment was successful.
Thank you doctor.

Dr. Suzuki has been our family specialist for years! He has always treated my family members and made us well again. When I had shingles in my ears, I was misdiagnosed in the ER over the weekend. I was in such pain! On Monday morning, I was at Dr. Suzuki's, and once again, he helped me get well with the right diagnosis and medicine. I value his expertise and kindness, always.
December 6, 2016Marcy P.Verified patient
Dr. Suzuki was very personable and I felt very comfortable with him. I will certainly go back to him for any related needs and would recommend him to others.

Professional and very knowledgeable doctor, but zocdoc double booked the appointments, so I had to wait for an hour to get treated.
June 9, 2016Robert K.Verified patient
This guy is a rarity. Identified my problem within minutes, put my mind at ease, reduced my anxiety about my issue, and created a very detailed course of treatment with a scheduled follow up and asking me to check in with him in a couple weeks via phone. Not only does he seem to really care about the overall well-being of his patients, he is extremely scientifically knowledgeable, explaining using mediacal charts and and diagrams what was going on so that there was no question in my mind what was going on. I wish I had seen him sooner! The office also was seamlessly integrated with ZocDoc, there was no form-filling.
