Patient Reviews
- “I was very concerned when I made the appointment regarding the issue that I had with my knee. I assumed the worst and after meeting with Dr. Hiramoto, I felt completely 100% better. He assured me that his goal was to make me healthy again and more sensitive to my concerns regarding exercise and activity. I like his conservative approach to healing rather than an aggressive approach, such as Cortizone or other medication. I liked that he took notes and gave me a copy of them.”– Kathryn K.Patient Rating:
