Dr. Kao was very knowledgeable and professional in helping me with my knee pain. She was thorough and patient when explaining the diagnosis and procedures. Her technique is excellent. I highly recommend her!

It is rare to find an MD who has time (or takes the time) to sit and explain what is happening. I do like seeing PA's but it's nice to every once in a while see a doctor, too. Dr. Kao is a great explainer of the process, the diagnosis, the plan and what to expect if treatment works or doesn't work. I highly recommend her for her clinical approach, her friendly demeanor and her surgical skills.

Staff is attentive and on time. Dr. Kao is the best. She replaced my left knee and after 6 weeks I’m walking without pain.

Dr. Kao, was great. She was very patient, explained to me the plan of care and allowed me to ask all my questions. I did not feel rushed but very comfortable with the plan set forth. I would definitely recommend her to family and friends.

Dr Kao listened intently as I described the problem I’m having with my hip. She has a treatment plan for me and I feel hopeful that it will help me. Most importantly to me, I felt like I was being listened to. I wasn’t getting that from my other doctor.

Dr. Kao was great! She went over my tests and explained my issues. Then she told me my options which I liked in that she didn’t automatically recommend another surgery. I would highly recommend her!
