*** THIS DOCTOR IS GREAT *** but be prepared to have thick skin.
If you care more about your children's well-being and not your own personal feelings, then this doctor is for you.
If you want to actually hear the truth as to what you are doing well or incorrectly as a parent, the Dr Ryan Nishihara is your doctor.
We have been to other Pediatricians in other towns before Dr Nishihara. YES, we have been yelled at. I personally dont mind as we are more concerned about the children.
But there are huge upsides.
Things he requests and may seem strange about...
VERY PUNCTUAL... DO NOT BE LATE....
But this means we have never waited more than 2 minutes for our appointment and room to be ready.
GERMAPHOBE...
But this means his facilities are the cleanest we have seen. I mean seriously clean. Not one sign of mess and he must go through costco size amounts of cleaner per day.
VERBALLY ROUGH ON PARENTS
But this means, you will be told the harsh truth. We just go in expecting to get yelled at,..but as a parent, i prefer to be toughened up, rather than make a mistake later on with the upbringing.
Bottomline is this.. If youre ok having tough skin, he is your doctor. If you feel like you want to be kept in a bubble and never told how to properly take care of the health of your children while maintaining a false sense of security as if youre doing it right... then find another doctor who may not be as good for your children but great for your false ego and perception of yourself as a parent.
ME PERSONALLY, im ok being told I dont know what we are doing... After all, we are new parents. Humility is a must as a parent at his office. HA
