David Hiroshima's Online Review Report Card

Dr Hiroshima is one of the best and very knowledgeable doctors around. He's is very positive, through and truly cares about the well being of his patients.He was my primary doctor at PAMF for years and I miss him soooo much.

Dr. David Hiroshima has been my primary care physician since 2005 when he was with El Camino medical transitioning to PAMF then Sutter. He is one of the best doctors I have had, very thorough, great listener and a over great doctor who cares for his patients and strives to give the best care for his patients.

Dr. Hiroshima is everything you want in a Doctor. Smart, knowledgeable, caring, considerate. A true professional with a big heart.

Dr. Hiroshima is, without a doubt, the best PCP that I have had. In a world where doctors are usually running behind and patients often feel rushed, it was refreshing to meet a doctor who was patient, knowledgeable, caring and genuinely interested in the well-being of his patients. I first met Dr. Hiroshima at the IHH a few years ago for a lingering health condition. As I was researching doctors, Dr. Hiroshima's profile stood out because he had years of clinical experience, had been educated at Stanford Medicine and had a sports background. During my first visit, I immediately recognized that he was different from all the other doctors that I have visited. He took the time to fully understand my family's health history, my own health history, my sports background as a triathlete, my work demands and my lifestyle. In other words, he displayed genuine interest in getting to know me holistically. Past doctors had always focused on treating the immediate symptoms. In contrast, Dr. Hiroshima took the time to really study the situation. In that first instance, he took a decidedly scientific approach: He diagnosed the root cause via blood and microbiome tests that, in turn, helped me to resolve a long-standing health condition.My positive experience with Dr. Hiroshima at the IHH led me to request him as my PCP. Even though I lived in San Francisco and his clinic was in San Carlos, it was worth the drive from the city to the Peninsula to see him. I always felt that he had my best interest in mind; he offered personalized medicine that was tailored toward me as an individual vs. a "one size fits all" approach. He consistently took the time to fully understand the presenting issue, and he had a knack for simplifying complex medical/ biological concepts into terms that I could easily follow. It's truly rare to find a doctor that embodies all of the above, and I feel very fortunate to have been a patient of Dr. Hiroshima.

One of the worst Doctors I ever had. Yes, he's a nice guy, but a terrible Doctor. He was my primary physician many years ago. I started having a problem which is now related to an allergic reaction to carbs if it's contained in bread or rice. When I first went to him regarding this issue and explained what was going on, he asked me "where are you when you eat your food (for lunch)". I replied "mostly at my desk". His reply "you need to slow down, take your time and chew your food slowly". Basically don't rush. I had another issue where I had, and still have, migraine headaches. He asked me "how much water do you drink". And basically told me to drink more water. Then he gave me some pills to take for it which did nothing. Luckily, it was one of his colleagues who say me on a day that he was not in the office. She order a Ct Scan and said that she think she knows what wrong with me. When asked if anyone had order a Ct Scan. Of course the answer was NO. It turned out that I have a Sinus problem. I have to use a nasal spray which I still use til this day. There was one more incident, but you get my point by now. He told me to drink more water on that one also. Anyway, he's not a good Doctor........at all! Just my opinion.

Dr. Hiroshima has been my primary care physician since his days with El Camino Medical (Almost 10 years). Sad to see him leave PAMF. He is one of the best doctors I have come across, very attentive, cares about his patients, very smart, informed and does research to help them out figure out treatment plans as well. I would highly recommend him to anybody and one would be lucky to have him as a Doctor.

I just learned that Dr. Hiroshima is leaving PAMF and I'm sad to see him go. He is the best PCP I've ever had. He always takes the time to listen to my concerns and tries to find the root cause instead of just treating my symptoms. He is patient, kind, honest, has exceptional bedside manner and above all he really cares about his patient's well being. I have been fortunate to work with him. He'll be missed. I hope our paths cross again in the future. Wish him all the best!

I have had the privilege of being a patient of Doctor Hiroshima for about 5 years now and could't feel more blessed. He's caring, compassionate, professional, intelligent, and clearly doing what the world needs him to do, as he's truly made to be a doctor!I am, and will always be, so incredibly grateful for his care, and if he ever leaves PAMF, so do i....

Good guy he listens and cares no complaints

Dr Hiroshima is a wonderful doctor! He is very knowledgeable, smart, kind, sensitive and supportive. He is a good listener and has a lot of compassion. I think I was a difficult case. I had very bad chronic fatigue. He never gave up on me, and I am very grateful for that.
