Patient ratings
Approved Google, Facebook, Yelp, and manual review excerpts can be sorted by treatment topic before they appear on procedure pages.
Patient ratings and recognition
Trust signals should help you choose with more confidence.
Patients comparing surgeons want more than a star rating. They want training, communication, robotics experience, revision judgment, Hawaii access, and real proof that the practice helps people understand the decision in front of them.
Recognition
Awards, focused training, and Hawaii-specific care planning help patients compare trust before they schedule.
First Hawaii orthopedic surgeon fellowship-trained in robotic joint replacement
ACGME-accredited fellowship training in hip and knee replacements
Minimally invasive, muscle-sparing approaches when appropriate
Concierge-style coordination for travel and neighbor island patients
Patient proof
A better way to use reviews
The rebuilt site is designed to place approved positive reviews near the topic they actually discuss: hip replacement, knee replacement, revision, ACL, meniscus, BMAC, recovery, or location planning.

Video stories
Video testimonials help patients compare recovery themes without relying on a one-size-fits-all promise.
03
Local recognition
Media appearances and Hawaii awards reinforce that patients are choosing a local surgeon with a public body of educational work.
