Exceptional Care and Expertise

I was so lucky to have Dr. Shiraga as my gastric surgeon. She helped me through my cancer journey. I still join her talks in the support group with “Hope for Stomach Cancer”. She is honest with her experience and her explanations of the disease process are easy to understand. I enjoy listening to her talks.
