Dr. Yonekawa was my daughter's nephrologist for the first 6 years of her life. I would not have traded that for anything! She did not sugar coat anything when I came to my daughters kidney health. She was very honest with us. She was very caring, compassionate and genuinely loved working with kids. If I had the option I would definitely have her as my daughter's nephrologist again!
