Dr Ishimaru is one of the best providers I have ever had. She is a safe place. She listens and provides thoughtful response. She is gentle and caring and knowledgeable and thorough. She provides tests or referrals if necessary.

She did two exams in one visit. That's great! It took 3 months with my problem before she was available for an appointment. I wish that could have been within at least two weeks since I had a problem, although not emergent.

Dr. Ishimaru is the best, could not be happier with her care.
Providence Patient
The provider, Dr. Ishimaru, is always wonderful. It seems to be hard to describe how special she is. However, I was told that I was not able to make an appointment for the next annual check due to some reason like she is going to move or something like that. Is it true? I am so nervous if I could find another doctor like Dr. Ishimaru, who has been so special.

Dr. Ishimaru is one of the best doctors I've seen. She is always professional, kind and knowledgeable.
Providence Patient
Dr. Ishimaru is exceptional in her caregiving and medical expertise. She is empathetic and takes her time to converse with you instead of dictating her thoughts. I will miss having her as my gynecologist. On a personal note, when she spoke to me about my breast cancer diagnosis, what she shared was invaluable advice when I sought treatment and now my recovery.
