      Dr Umekubo is a rare internist who genuinely cares about my well being. I never feel rushed or that he is under pressure to move me through asap. It is why I continue to have him as my GP even though I no longer live in San Francisco.

      All communications were clear and understandable. Making my visit relaxing. My blood pressure always goes down during my visit.
