This was one of the BEST doctor visits I have ever had. Dr. Ashizawa was beyond thorough. He spent a great deal of time getting to know me, finding out about my history, and listening to me. He is a doctor that truly cares about the welfare of his patients. He and his nurse Estella are a magnificent duo.

More about Dr. James Ashizawa, MD

For patient safety, MemorialCare Medical Group providers will not prescribe most controlled substances (including opioids like codeine, and benzodiazepines like valium) for new patients they have only evaluated via telehealth, rather than in person. Many controlled substances have a high potential for abuse, and overdose on controlled substances may result in death. Without an in person visit, the potential risk outweighs the intended benefit. If you believe you may need a prescription for a controlled substance, please schedule an in person visit. Dr. Ashizawa became interested in medicine to help people and to make a difference in their lives. His greatest reward comes from the close bonds that he develops with his patients; bonds, which he hopes, will last a lifetime. Board certified in family medicine, Dr. Ashizawa's biggest fulfillment comes from caring for families, watching the children grow and start their own families, and then treating their children. Dr Ashizawa also enjoys being involved with his church, the outdoors, music, art, and most recently, spending time with his family. *Practice currently closed to new patients.
