MEET THE PHYSICIANS

Different journeys.
A shared philosophy of care.

Dr. Joe Yamamoto and Dr. Joanna Yamamoto bring complementary experiences to a shared belief: good medicine begins with understanding the whole person.

DR. JOE YAMAMOTO

A perspective shaped
by life beyond surgery.

Dr. Joe Yamamoto’s background in thoracic and cardiovascular surgery shaped his interest in what happens beyond an intervention: how health risks are managed and how people are supported over time.

His experience caring for patients with recurring cardiovascular disease helped draw him toward Functional Medicine. He brings that perspective to a shared emphasis on thoughtful clinical judgment, prevention, and genuine care.
