Providence Patient
Dr. Wakimoto is a good physician, but unfortunately follow up falls short. It took over a month for me to get follow up on a MRI results despite me sending friendly reminders that the test was done. I ended up going to my specialist instead. Messages via Epic are also unanswered.

Providence Patient
Love Dr. Wakimoto
Providence Patient
So far, she has been very attentive to my questions and concerns. Very easy to talk with her.
Providence Patient
It was my first visit after relocating to the area and so far the experience was professional, courteous, & comfortable as possible. I appreciated being on time & getting my lab results so quickly. I can tell from observing that it is a very busy facility & it must be stressful for the providers but they were great.
Providence Patient
Since selecting Dr. Wakimoto as my personal physician she has been absolutely amazing. I feel much better about the quality of my health care.
Providence Patient
I look for kindness, respect and compassion from both doctors and staff. I was greeted warmly and made to feel comfortable and at ease. I have confidence in and look forward to having a great relationship with Dr. Wakimoto and the staff in keeping us informed and healthy! Everyone has been very nice and helpful!
Providence Patient
Very good visit experience. The doctor answered all my questions and discussed my health history, and ordered testing as needed. She also inquired about my follow up plans with other providers in the future, to make sure I was on track for a mammogram, etc. I felt I had good communication with the doctor.
Providence Patient
Good
Providence Patient
My condition seemed to start improving just prior to my visit. The doctor listened to me, and gave prescriptions I could take if I didn't continue to improve and tests if I wanted to follow up on the cause. That way, I wouldn't have to see her again if I decided I still needed those actions.
Providence Patient
Doctor, very dedicated and successful, I recommend her
Providence Patient
All of the receptionist and care provider-treated us very nice and respectful They always make our children feel comfortable..
Providence Patient
My provider is new to me. I have only seen her twice so I could not rate her a 10. However, she was very attentive and polite and listened to the concerns that I had. As I continue w/ my care with her, I would be able to provide a more accurate rate.
Providence Patient
Very good, no comment
Providence Patient
Average, not personal, but just enough.

Providence Patient
As a young woman, Doctor Wakimoto reminds me of an old fashion primary care physician who cares about her patients. She Is a very good doctor.
Providence Patient
Excellent care
Providence Patient
Although I had to wait at front desk for checking in more than 10 minutes because a person ahead of me was asking too many questions to the receptionist and I had to wait at the doctor's office more than 10 minutes after I was taken into, all staff including doctor were courteous and helpful. I like the new office with window and with more space. I also like I can get urine/blood test and x-ray exam by doctor's order at this same place. I like one-stop clinic like this which saves me time. Overall, everybody at this clinic was nice.
Providence Patient
Very good care.
Providence Patient
Dr was very thorough asking my medical history since this was the first time I saw her.
Providence Patient
Thank you for your professionalism.
Providence Patient
Always friendly, informative and polite, as well as kind.
Providence Patient
I was not able to answer most of the questions from the survey properly for I am a new patient to this provider. So that was my first visit with this provider. However, I was pleased that she took the time to listen to me and did not appear to be in a rush. And since I am a new patient to her, she did not have access to my medical record for I come from a different medical group. But I look forward to getting to know this provider and build a good report, for she seems to be very thorough.
Providence Patient
My primary care physician is on maternity leave but Dr. Wakimoto treated me as if I am her patient.

Providence Patient
Very good medical providers I
Providence Patient
The visit seemed rushed. The Dr did not ask if I had any concerns. I had to keep trying to ask my questions as she was on her way out of the room. One of my of my concerns was not addressed.I thought she would return to answer my question but never did.I was told by the nurse that he dr was with another patient and she would speak with the Dr about my concern and call me back. I never received a call back. I will not schedule another physical with this provider again.
Providence Patient
Everyone is very nice, friendly, helpful, and care for patience.Thank you!
Providence Patient
Dr. Wakimoto was great! She has the patience and understanding that makes you feel heard and in good hands.
Providence Patient

Dr Wakimoto is very knowledgeable and takes the time to listen. She doesnt dismiss my concerns. I was with another major Health provider and the same issues I came to Dr Wakimoto with, were dismissed. Shes ordered every test I can think of so hopefully we will have some answers soon.
