Dr Makekiani is the doctor who patients dream of having. She is incredibly knowledgeable, personable, articulate, warm, and caring. She stays on top of everything, including the care I receive from my endocrinologist, cardiologist, gastroenterologist, and physical therapist, as well as all my immunizations.
