Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Amazing doctor!!
He repaired a bad break on my arm/wrist. It’s been 6 weeks and I am doing great and almost back to 100%. He is very caring with great bedside manners. He has also repaired my husbands shoulder two times with great results.

A+ Doctor!
Dr Takenaga has treated my rotator cuff tear for several years. I see him when I do something that causes inflammation and he gives me an injection after checking movement. He knows what he is doing

Great Doctor
Surgery went quite well. Left knee orthoscopic surgery. Some pain next day controlled by pain meds and ice packs. No swelling noted. Every thing went well in OR and Post OP. Dr. Takenaga come by after surgery with photos of what he found and the correction he made. I enjoyed the whole OP experience. I wound highly recommend him for any Joint surgery needed. Thanks Dock; Louis Ellis.
