Patient Experience Reviews
Great doctor!!!!!!!! She is the best!!
Dr. Tsushima always does an amazing job explaining what is happening and all possibilities for care. I had some questions regarding my condition and she was patient and understood all of them. But more than that she provided the insight I need to plan my healthcare decisions. I appreciate a healthcare provider who speaks to me with assumption I can and will understand instead of just assuming things are too complicated for a patient to understand. This way when patients leave they feel well informed instead of anxious about that appointment. The time she takes in explanation is something I wish all doctors would do!
Dr. Tsushima, is a Great Doctor. ***

Excellent care
It was a good experience. The provider is so caring. I would recommend other family and friends to her.
Dr. Tsushima is excellent, thorough and caring. I feel safe with her care and she provides explanations in an understandable language and manner. I appreciate her very much.I was helped initially by an nursing assistant before seeing Dr. Tsushima. He was very kind but talkative and a bit distracted. He neglected to make me aware of my blood pressure number and weight (as I am used to this information being repeated aloud for me/the patient to hear).
Very good experience. Very professional
Great provider explain everything and is very detailed oriented

University Hospitals is committed to transparency in our interactions with industry partners, such as pharmaceutical, biotech, or medical device companies. At UH, we disclose practitioner and their family members’ ownership and intellectual property rights that are or in the process of being commercialized. In addition, we disclose payments to employed practitioners of $5,000 or more from companies with which the practitioners interact as part of their professional activities. These practitioner-industry relationships assist in developing new drugs, devices and therapies and in providing medical education aimed at improving quality of care and enhancing clinical outcomes. At the same time, UH understands that these relationships may create a conflict of interest. In providing this information, UH desires to assist patients in talking with their practitioners about industry relationships and how those relationships may impact their medical care.
UH practitioners seek advance approval for certain new industry relationships. In addition, practitioners report their industry relationships and activities, as well as those of their immediate family members, to the UH Office of Outside Interests annually. We review these reports and implement management plans, as appropriate, to address conflicts of interest that may arise in connection with medical research, clinical care and purchasing decisions.
