Patient Reviews
Jun 03, 2024
I have been seeing Dr. John Kao for around 5 years. He is a good listener, is very knowledgable about a number of possible issues that I was dealing with. He takes a conservative approach and at the same time is ready to reccommend surgery if need be. I truly could go on and on about my great experiences. Instead of a knee replacement at this time he did an orthoscopic surgery and it has been fantastic!! Great staff too.
