Dr Sarah K. Yamaguchi
“it’s important to treat each patient as an individual as even the simplest things can be different for different people.“
Dr. Yamaguchi graduated from USC Keck School of Medicine in 2006. She completed both her intern and residency training at Harbor-UCLA in Torrance, California. While Board Certified in both Obstetrics and Gynecology, she has decided to focus on Gynecology only. Dr. Yamaguchi is affiliated with Good Samaritan Hospital.
“Sarah is the best obgyn doctor I've ever had. I feel comfortable telling and asking her anything. I've never had to wait more than a few minutes for my appointment either. She is smart, no-nonsense, funny, and sweet.”

Trust
Gynecologists have a very unique relationship with their patients because they often share with us the most intimate details or their lives.
It’s important that there is a level of trust and openness. A gynecologic exam is almost always uncomfortable for one reason or another.
It’s important to me that I treat each patient as an individual as even the simplest things can be different for different people.
Relationships
I value the relationships that I have with patients over the years and see them as more than just a diagnosis.
I want to avoid assembly line Medicine where success is checking all the boxes and nothing bad happens.
I value the doctor patient relationship and think the best medical decisions are made when both the physician and the patient have input.
Convenience
Now that I am doing an office based practice with no obstetrics, my patients will find it easy to get an appointment with me. I am also happy to offer telehealth visits outside of normal office hours if requested.
