Ronald R Uyeyama MD

I went to Dr U. Because that’s who my insurance had assigned me. Thank god I had the opportunity to do my own research, and find a way better Dr. Who knows exactly what hes talking about. The office is messy and extremely UN professional, when you call you cant even understand his wife when she answers the phone. When your telling her about an issue your having she doesn’t understand. There is only one nurse there who he relies on for everything. The calling and diagnosing of things. I was misdiagnosed for something, and they had me freaking out. I knew they didn’t know what they were talking about. The nurse sounded so confused on the phone, and couldn’t even give me a proper explanation on things. So I got a second opinion from the new doctor that I have now. He told me I was fine. Dr U. was trying to send me to a specialist, for something that the specialist doesn’t even specialize in. He just seems like the rest of the silly doctors who are played out and need to go on retirement in the Bay Area.

My husband waited 2 mos to see this doctor. He has been experiencing back pain (from work) and has a sprained ankle (not from work). Right away he sent him away to workmans comp and didn’t bother about his sprained ankle or asked if there is any other issues regarding his health. He felt like he was rejected and discriminated there.
His office was also another issue because he said it was so messy and very unprofessional looking because it looked more like a storage facility.
I would also agree with the other Unilocaler that he is biased with Japanese patients.

I agree with The R.
He is bias towards Japanese decent patients.
Beware of Troll reviews!
This doctor is messy — all paper charting.

I saw dr u, in like 2006. I stated to his practice that i can not afford anything that was not covered with my insurance. I had a cold i was given a inhaler, antibiotics, a EKG test from 1960, and blood test in house! Which is way over called for! Now his practice is still trying to claim money off of me. I also waited 1 – 2 hours to be seen while 3 – 4 people of Japanese decent came in and where seen before me. This practice is a crooked and greedy, he will push meds on you, and give services that are not current with your chief complaint. So that portion is not covered by insurance and the bill falls on you. I do not recommend this dr, actually I am reporting him. As I did there were multiple reports on him. DO NOT GO! Oh yea its now 8 years later, way past tax write off time! 2014

Dr Uyeyama has been our family doctor for over 8 years now, and I second every word of praise offered by the rest of the reviewers: he is particularly thorough, knowledgeable, relies on highly informative and detailed blood test for diagnostics that he special orders, and has given us great referrals in the past for any specialists we needed. Beyond that, on multiple occasions I found myself needing to see him on short notice, as in today, and he was always able to accommodate me. When my Dad had a an issue that was suspicious of a clot, even though he wasn’t Dr Uyeyama’s patient at the time, Dr Uyeyama talked to his colleagues at Sequoia hospital so my Dad could be seen the same day. Dr Uyeyama always goes extra mile, he is one of the best in his profession.

Dr. Uyeyama and his staff are wonderful He pays close attention to each patient and takes the time, which most doctors don’t, to explain everything to you in detail including blood test results. He monitors me to make sure all medications are working properly and on a recent trip to the Himalayan mountains he took the time to research medications for high altitude sickness for me.
I’ve been going to him for about 8 years and couldn’t be happier.

I have been going to Dr. Uyeyama as my primary care physician for over 10-​years and he has satisfied all of my health care needs including always being receptive to specialist referrals. He is very thorough and takes the time to explain things like the results of blood tests where he sits and reviews them with you and jots notes on your copy that explains the significance of the various measurements. He is very good at prescribing medications to properly balance your treatment success. And he keeps up on current medical info and applies them to your treatments because he will frequently reference the latest studies and their findings as he reviews your treatment with you. He is personable and caring and takes the time to connect with you as a person, not just as a patient.

Dr. Uyeyama was referred to me by my next door neighbors. I was new in town and had a very bad chest cold. He and his staff stayed after normal business hours to see me and prescribe several drugs to give me relief so I could sleep.
He is very patient and soft spoken and explains everything completely. He spends an hour going over the results from my blood tests. I have been going to him for 4 months now and have seen him 4 or five times. He took time to print out extra info from online to explain things to me. He took time to explain and insist that I see the top breast cancer surgeon at Stanford. I have been very impressed with the Dr. and his very cheerful and efficient staff. I have also been very pleased with the inexpensive blood work that is taken in a lab in his office. These tests would cost maybe 20x more at a regular lab. His offices are scrupulously clean.
