Dr Kiyono is such a through and compassionate doctor. I've been a patient of hers for about 35 or more years. My only complaint is she's always booked. It's very difficult to see her when you are sick. In prior years, you'd be able to call and they'd get you in the same day or the next day. Now if you call on a Monday, the person answering the phone states she booked the entire week & then they schedule me with someone else or tell me to go to urgent care.  I've gone the urgent care route in the past and they can't seem to get things going in the right direction for my medical health. Urgent care ends up being a waste of time & money because I normally have to get in to see my doctor.  With my current illness, I saw 2 other doctors in the clinic since I couldn't get in to see Dr Kiyono and finally at the beginning of my 8th week of being sick, I called to see Dr Kiyono & of course they told me she didn't have any availability and they could schedule me with another doctor. I refused & I said I'd like to see Dr Kiyono the next day because I've already see 2 other doctors and I'm not getting better. I got a call back & I was able to see her 1/8/24. I'm grateful; however, it shouldn't be this hard to see your doctor who knows how to manage your illness. It's now Thursday and my cough is finally getting better! Too bad I couldn't had see Dr Kiyono 4 or 5 weeks ago! Maybe I wouldn't have had to go through so many weeks with such a difficult cough & exhaustion from just walking.
