Dr Kao performed a total knee replacement and, 6 weeks later, I’m doing great. Great surgeon, excellent staff and superb care!

I’ve been very pleased with the care I receive from Dr Kao and staff at Resurgens. Questions are answered, I’m always seen in a reasonable amount of time and it’s just a pleasant experience. I’m treated like an individual and not just someone in a long line of patients for the day

Dr. Kao was amazing. I am walking after fours weeks comfortably and really feel great. She has a good bedside manner, she is very detailed and answers every question you have without wasting time. Her assistant Avery is The one that gets all the credit for taking care of me before, during and after. She is absolutely a phenomenal Assistant and a Kind young lady. So yes I would highly recommend Dr. Kao and her team to you. Martha Bullock

As in past, My visit with Dr. Kao was extremely informative. Dr. Kao and Her Office Specialists are extremely courteous & efficient in scheduling and execution of each exam. She performs a very thorough physical exam, and then patiently walks thru comparison of today's exam & X-rays with same X-rays of previous visits since original surgery. We drive each visit from Aiken, SC and her visits are definitely worth the trip.

Dr. Kao replaced my right knee last year and I could not be happier. She will be replacing my left knee this year. She is an excellent doctor that sincerely cares about her patients. She sees you everytime you come in and not passed off to a PA or assistant. I think she is the very best. I am 74 and my PT says that I have done excellent. I highly recommend.

Third visit with Dr. Kao, and team. Always courteous and listen to me. Dr. Kao is helping me with advice and care that keep me living my life in retirement. On this appointment they get an A÷÷÷ rating on timeliness. I literally waited no more than 2 minutes for any segment of my care.
