"Dr. Kuwada is GREAT!! I really think he is pleasant and has great mannerism. Working with overweight patients he seemed very empathetic and humble. Which to me contrasted one of his staff nurses. I almost went to another doctor because of his Nurse Nazi as I call her.. to me she is rude and judgemental.... but since Dr. Kuwada is very knowledgable and easy going, the experience was Great! His assistant/resident, Dr. Chen was awesome, too.. I have already recommended Dr. Kuwada to my sister and she is looking to have the LAP BAND procedure instead of the bypass...."
