I have always had a very good experience with Dr. Ichikawa. Very professional, knowledgeable, inclusive and personable
"Dr. Doug" was excellent. He very quickly grasped my problem, understood and factored in the quality of life goals I have about managing it, and actually correctly anticipated a structural defect causing some of my symptoms that I'd never had diagnosed before, which was subsequently confirmed by X-ray. 5/5 stars across the board for him.My only complaint is that the wait time for an appointment was 6 months. Luckily my symptoms didn't dramatically worsen in that time, but I did consequently spend more time in pain than I would have preferred. I recognize it is a challenge to have supply meet demand for a specialized clinic.
Dr. Ichikawa has been a long-time provider of care for me. He is attentive and thorough.
