Dr. Stephen Miyasato, MD

Oh my goodness if you have a few minutes please take time out to read my experience with Dr Miyasato a couple of months ago I tripped over my own feet and fell. I was resting one of the local hospitals. And then I was transferred in between Dr Miyasato was notified. He called me several times to see how I was doing as my injury was very serious. When I was released his office called to set up telehealth. I spoke to him a couple of times. He suggested that I go see a specialist which had to do with my back, and then after he got that report and his office did all of the arrangement I had nothing to do with it so it made it so great. I was in pain and I don’t know anybody that’s in pain that wants to deal with calling her doctors office and trying to get a date especially when you’re in pain. So, Dr Miyasato made this call himself. I saw the specialist. They specialize and Dr Miyasato did communicate and I had to go see a another specialist in a different category and again Dr. Miyasato

I had just moved to the island of Oahu, last year in 2021, and experienced my first virtual visit with Dr. Stephen Miyasato, as something rushed. As a new patient, usually the Doctor gathers information and tries to get to know you, but it felt like a hello and bye. I get it, he has a ton of patients to see on his caseload, but I too, have a good amount of patients I see, but i take my time with them. I’m speaking from both sides as a practitioner and as a patient, because I was looking for a primary care physician who could be there for me, in times when i’m sick or unwell. The one thing that made me write this review and end up switching Primary care physicians, was not refilling my medication in time, that I needed it, due to uncomfortableness and not within the specialty. The response time took two days, and by then, i would’ve been in some unfortunate circumstances. My previous PCP had no problem with prescribing and refilling my medication. I feel let down as a patient.

He spent a lot of time with me, this first visit after a long 5 year break when I had relocated elsewhere. He was quite thorough, asked a lot of questions, made several recommendations, knew what I was talking about when I mentioned what my homeopathic doctor had done during my time away.

He is very thorough in discovering symptoms. He talks you through any plan for treatments step by step and answers questions quickly. He seems to have a trusted network of specialists that he sends you to when the need arises.
