Angela Y. Nishio, MD

Angela Nishio, MD first entered the Maternity Ward of Saint John’s Health Center as a screaming nine pound infant. A love of science, combined with the desire to serve her community as her parents had in their respective fields, brought her to the world of medicine. During her training, Dr Nishio felt an immense gratitude toward her patients who allowed her to participate in one of life’s most intimate moments: childbirth. She appreciated the strength and resilience of the pregnant woman, and decided to devote her professional life to helping babies arrive safely. She started at Saint John’s right after completing residency, and recently took a larger role when she became the Chair of the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department in 2016. While she also enjoys fulfilling her patients’ gynecologic needs, ranging from Pap tests to pelvic surgery, her passion remains in maternity care.
