He then completed his internship and residency at St. Mary Medical Center in Long Beach, where he was selected as Chief Resident his final year before going on to do his Fellowship in infectious diseases at LA County-USC Medical Center. Dr. Hirano wanted to be a doctor from the age of five. He believes everyone deserves excellent care and he works to provide that for all his patients.

He’s very personable and not so quick to leave the appointment without asking multiple times if anything changed with your health. His staff is awesome.

I’ve been a patient of Dr. Hirano for over 15 years now and I’ve recommended him to people close to me. I highly value my relationship with Dr. Hirano. He’s an expert in medicine and his specialty. He’s always quick to respond with any questions or concerns and it’s apparent he cares about his patients. Thank you, Dr. H for your knowledge, advice, and care for so many years.

Dr Hirano is the perfect primary care doctor. He is patient, knowledgeable, and a good listener. He takes care of my overall health and makes sure that I get the referrals for specialists when I need them. I highly recommend him. The only complaint I have is that an appointment may take some time before you can her in to see him, but he always responds to my emails within a day so I’m always In touch with him, which is key.
