I was shown to an exam room within ten minutes of my arrival…..also, Dr. Kao entered my room almost immediately and proceeded to inject my knee, talked to both myself and my husband about future options and found the whole visit very helpful and efficient.

Listens well to patient concerns, and left the office after being educated and treated, immediately feeling better.

My experience, outcome and speed of recovery was much better than my wife’s experience with a different organization for the same procedure within the last year. Pre-hab important. Dr Kao and staff flawless, extremely nice, helpful and procedures executed perfectly. In home rehab personnel great and very important. Using the machine I thought very helpful. You will not regret trusting your health to this wonderful provider

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
