He immediately knew that my body was "throwing clots" and I needed emergency care.

While having a difficult time getting an appointment with my other doctors because my feet were cold several weeks after I suffered a hemorrhagic stroke, my wife contacted Dr. Yamane who fit me into his schedule late in the afternoon on a snowy Friday. He immediately knew that my body was throwing clots and I needed emergency care. He called the hospital in Philadelphia where I had been admitted for three weeks earlier that month. Upon my arrival to the emergency department, with the assistance of Dr. Yamane alerting them to my situation, I was immediately taken for testing and several hours later underwent surgery to remove blood clots that had shattered throughout my lower body. If Dr. Yamane had not spent that extra time in his office to see me after his normal work hours that evening, I would certainly have lost one, if not both, of my lower limbs. Now, I can't say enough about a man who is not only a brilliant doctor, but a compassionate man who is not only my doctor, but my friend. Dr. Yamane not only knows my medical history, but he knows me and the things I enjoy doing. We both enjoy fishing and often tell fish stories together. He is patient, kind, energetic, gentle, soft spoken, compassionate and he is extraordinary as a person and a doctor. He recommends and/or suggests things to me and explains why he brings them to my attention. When I am in his office I feel like I am his only patient that day, never being rushed, interrupted or having anything overlooked, even though I may casually mention something he takes notice of it and acts on it. I can't thank Dr. Yamane enough for waiting at his office for me when my feet were so cold and I never realized it was such a critical issue. My doctor not only knows my medical history, but he knows me!
