Prior to his pursuit of medicine, Dr. Kakehashi played guitar in several rock bands in Venice, Santa Monica and West Los Angeles in the 70’s and 80’s. “I was an ‘OK’ guitarist, but there was always someone better than you, I just could not get to the next level.” So after several years of practice and performing he put down the guitar and pursued his medical degree. He continues to play his collection of vintage acoustic and electric guitars as a way to relax and meditate after a stressful day of work.
Dr. Kakehashi’s years of experience makes him well credentialed to care for the clients of Marquee Medicine.
