About me

A physician-scientist, Okimoto conducts research in addition to providing care. The overarching goal of his laboratory-based investigations is to improve outcomes for cancer patients.

This provider has arranged other appointments so I could get opinions on appropriate care for my issue within UCSF. He's also expedited testing to enable a clear understanding of my health issue. He has discussed options for care with me, always treating me as an equal partner in my care. He has gone above and beyond what an ordinary provider would do to help me and I'm very grateful for his care and concern for my well-being.
