My mother and I are both patients of Dr. Mach, and we truly appreciate the care he provides. He is…read moreknowledgeable, compassionate, and always takes the time to listen to our concerns. We have complete confidence in him as our endocrinologist. Unfortunately, our experiences with the office manager, Debbie, have been very disappointing. She has consistently been dismissive, disrespectful, and lacking compassion when communicating with us. One example involved my mother's care. When Dr. Mach recommended that she switch to a new insulin pump, Debbie told my mother not to do it, which was confusing and seemed to contradict the doctor's recommendation. In my own case, I requested that the office submit a new insurance authorization. Debbie repeatedly told me it would be denied and refused to process it. I explained that, even if it were denied, I needed the denial so I could file an appeal with my insurance company. Despite that, she still refused. I eventually contacted my medical plan myself, worked through the process, and was able to get the authorization approved without the office's help. Managing a chronic medical condition is stressful enough, and patients should be treated with respect and compassion. My interactions with Debbie have consistently left me feeling frustrated and anxious. The contrast between the excellent care provided by Dr. Mach and the experience with the office staff is significant. We truly value Dr. Mach and would like to continue receiving our care from him. However, the ongoing issues with the office management have made us consider finding another endocrinologist. I hope this feedback is taken seriously so future patients have an experience that reflects the quality of care Dr. Mach provides.

As a medical student, I've met many incredible doctors but Dr. Kodama at Ohana Osteopathy is truly…read moreone of a kind. She brings all the clinical expertise you'd expect from any physician but additionally has the ability to treat her patients so well with OMM. She's exceptionally gifted at it.

After at least two years of chronic back pain and seen at least couple of orthopedic doctors…read more(pretty well known) I went to doctor Rutledge. He had me walk few steps back and forth and said that he thought my right leg is a bit shorter. I went and got an X-ray done where they measure your legs and he was right my leg was shorter. For that I had to buy some inserts for my shoe and felt much more balanced. I had an ankle surgery due to three broken bones 15 years earlier where they planted two plates and at least 10 screws I was told and that caused my leg to be shorter. Ultimately it caused my spine to develop a slight scoliosis which effected my vertebrae to be misaligned and cause pain. I'm currently on prolotherapy and Osteopathic manipulative treatment, also doing some exercise at home and no longer taking pain killers. Dr Rutledge has made my life so much better.
