Dr Kao is terrific. I’ve had 2 injections in my knee since February and barely felt a sting. She explained everything first. Also, I was seen on time for both appointments.

When arrived - I had done all paperwork online I was expedited to a corridor that went to another check in. Immediately I was taken to a room, then x-rays, was only back in waiting room a few minutes when the doctor came in. She was very thorough about what's been happening with my right knee. She gave me a cortisone shot and as soon as the gel comes in I can schedule upcoming visits. Dr. Kao was very accommodating. I was very pleased.

I recently had an appointment with Dr. Kao, and I was extremely impressed with the entire experience. From the moment I walked into the office, the staff was welcoming, professional, and efficient. The check-in process was smooth, and the wait time was minimal. Dr. Kao took the time to listen to my concerns, asked thoughtful questions, and explained everything clearly and patiently. I never felt rushed, and I appreciated how thorough and compassionate they were throughout the visit. Overall, I highly recommend Dr. Kao to anyone looking for an Orthopedic doctor. I left feeling heard, cared for, and confident in the treatment plan moving forward.

Dr. Kao successfully performed a knee replacement for me about six weeks ago. The information she provided prior to surgery was clear and pertinent. Her staff is extremely efficient and helpful. I highly recommend Dr Kao for knee replacement.
