Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Bilateral Hip Lagral repairs
Dr. Aoki was great. I appreciated the time he took to discuss my injuries and how to best repair them and the outcomes expected. I feel great after 2 hip labral repairs. I could not imagine a higher quality doctor and surgeon.

After 5 other Drs. missed my daughters diagnosis, Dr Aoki asked for the right X-rays in the right position to explain my daughters pain. Dr Aoki has been profesional and caring throughout her surgeries and we are grateful for his expertise and bedside manner! We know he is crazy busy but you can’t tell as he takes his time to explain and a answer questions like you are his only patient!

Horrible experience!My 15 year old daughter has suffered knee pain for years. We were referred to Dr. Aoki because he is a"specialist" and great with adolescent knee pain. He asked my daughter a few questions and bent her knee. He interacted with her for 3-5 minutes. Then he told her she has mental problems.."This is all in your head." He spent 20 minutes telling her she was depressed and crazy. Our experience was awful! My daughter had surgery a few weeks later. It wasn't in her head!

Our daughter has been a patient of Dr Aoki for years. Dr Aoki has performed 7 knee surgeries. Our daughter had a left lateral meniscus transplant 12/20/16, started having left knee pain Jan 2018. Saw dr Aoki, mri was ordered. He ordered surgery & today said our daughter is faking being in pain. Her knee was hot to the touch, she was fine till recently and MRI that I see online tells another story. He’s just covering his butt from the object he left in.

I had to have a complete ACL replacement, and a meniscus repair. Dr. Aoki was hands down the best orthopedic surgeon I've worked with. I worked with a different group of orthopedic surgeons; Dr. Aoki came recommended from a family friend. I'm so glad I went to him. I've never looked back. I have full functionality and rang of motion with my knee.
