Patient Reviews
Jun 25, 2025
Dr. Uchiyama is wonderful, caring, and listens attentively to his patients and explains procedures very well. He is without doubt, one of the the most outstanding doctors I have ever seen, anywhere. After 40 years of slow-growing, rare cancer, brain surgery at Barrow Neurological in Phoenix in 2010, and a year dealing with a brain abscess which brought me to Dr. Uchiyama and his wonderful assistant Andrea, and his superb support team, I am truly blessed to be under his care.Thank you, Dr. Uchiyama.Sincerely,Lenore Stuart
