Dr Sarah K. Yamaguchi
“The best gynecologic care is individualized, evidence-based, and built around the patient, not just the diagnosis.”
Dr. Sarah Yamaguchi is a board-certified obstetrician-gynecologist specializing exclusively in office-based gynecology. She graduated from the USC Keck School of Medicine and completed residency training at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center.
Her practice focuses on comprehensive gynecologic care including hormones, sexual health, recurrent vaginitis, pelvic pain, abnormal bleeding, menopause, contraception, and minimally invasive office procedures.
Dr. Yamaguchi believes gynecologic care should be thoughtful, individualized, evidence-based, and accessible. By focusing exclusively on gynecology, she is able to provide a more personalized patient experience with greater continuity and flexibility of care.
She is affiliated with Good Samaritan Hospital and Keck USC Verdugo Hills 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
Gynecology often involves conversations and experiences that are deeply personal. Trust, communication, and patient comfort are an important part of good care.
Many patients come into appointments feeling vulnerable, anxious, or dismissed from prior medical experiences. I believe patients deserve thoughtful, individualized care where they feel heard, respected, and informed.
Even common symptoms can have very different causes, experiences, and treatment goals. That is why I believe gynecologic care should never be one-size-fits-all.
Relationships
I value the long-term relationships I build with patients and believe the best gynecologic care comes from truly understanding each individual’s experiences, concerns, and goals.
I wanted to create a practice that moves away from rushed, transactional medicine and allows for more thoughtful, personalized care.
I believe the best medical decisions are made collaboratively, with open communication, mutual trust, and shared decision-making between physician and patient.
Access & continuity
As a boutique, office-based gynecology practice, I am able to provide more personalized care with greater continuity, flexibility, and accessibility than many traditional practice models. Direct messaging also allows for continued communication between visits.
