    Dr. Tsukada was a pleasure to meet, and clearly very experienced in thoracantesis. He was thorough in his explanations, everything was painless and quick, and he collected a combined 1250 ml of fluid, making my breathing and life much better. I hope I don't need thoracantesis again, but if I do I know he's doing it.

    Dr. Tsukada and his entire team, anesthesiology, his resident, the nurses in the prep area, all of them were excellent. They cared about myself and my wife.

    The doctor worked in conjunction with a physicians assistant. In fact, the physicians assistant explained the procedure fully and answered all of our questions ahead of time which allowed the doctor to focus on the procedure itself.

    This provider, this doctor did a great job with my surgery. And that was great. This provider was not able to talk well with my wife after the surgery. He did not seem interested in her questions nor able to answer her questions. It may be because of... he was really busy and didn't know how to speak with her, or maybe that his accent made it hard for her to understand.

    I cannot express my gratitude enough for the care, quality and confidence the entire team provided to me before, during and after my procedure on [redacted]. The excellence displayed by the nurses and doctors have left me in awe and with a feeling of peace the entire time I was there. The Day Surgery nurses are second to none, and the surgical team, lead by Dr Tsukada, were phenomenal. Thank you for taking such amazing care of me and if I am ever in your care again, I know there is no better team in the world looking out for me. Thank you!!! [redacted]
