About

Dr. Ashizawa became interested in medicine to help people and to make a difference in their lives. His greatest reward comes from the close bonds that he develops with his patients; bonds, which he hopes, will last a lifetime.

Board certified in family medicine, Dr. Ashizawa's biggest fulfillment comes from caring for families, watching the children grow and start their own families, and then treating their children.

Dr. Ashizawa also enjoys being involved with his church, the outdoors, music, art, and most recently, spending time with his family.

I've been seeing Dr. Ashizawa for 25 years, and each visit keeps confirming that I am being treated by one of the best in the medical field. He is always upbeat and personable. His medical knowledge never ceases to amaze me. If I have ANY medical question, he has a ready answer, and it is always thoughtful and thorough. There is always logic and reason in his answers, comments and diagnoses. I trust Dr. Ashizawa with my life... literally. I am lucky to have found him all those years ago.
