I can't recommend Dr. Watanabe highly enough. From my very first visit, he demonstrated a level of professionalism, expertise, and genuine compassion that is truly rare. Dr. Watanabe takes the time to listen fully, answers all questions with clarity and patience, and makes sure you understand your treatment plan completely. I never felt rushed, and I always felt like my health was their top priority. The care I've received has been outstanding. If you are looking for a doctor who is both brilliant and caring, look no further than Dr. Watanabe and Memorial Care 17th St. They are simply the best!

This was my first visit to the doctor and not only Dr. Watanabe, but everybody else in the office was very welcoming, friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. They helped me figure out where to go and explained the next steps in each process very well. Dr. Watanabe explained very well how we can deal with each of my health concerns and him and everybody in the office made me feel very comfortable during my visit. I am looking for a new general practitioner and feel I have found one in Dr. Watanabe. After the visit , I had some questions and concerns about some of my test results and Dr. Watanabe was very quick to respond to my messages. He was also quick to send me a message about my test result. The office overall is very well maintained and clean, there was plenty of parking when I visited, and the location is on a major street and the office was very easy to locate. I look forward to my future visits with Dr. Watanabe and this office overall.

He's been my family doc for many years now, as well as a fellow 1976 high school graduate. I've always felt comfortable with him. I only hoping that he NEVER retires!
