    Dr. Jay Marumoto
    Greg S.

    I searched long and hard to find the best ortho surgeon to perform a total knee replacement on me. Finally, I found Dr. Marumoto, and I could not be happier. His skills as a surgeon are second to none. In addition, the normally huge scar left on a kneecap from the surgery is almost completely invisible. He is friendly, answers all questions, and has a terrific rapport with his patients, including his hospital bedside manner. I cannot recommend him highly enough, and I would give him more than 5-stars if the site would allow it.

    Yes - I've heard lots of things about this doctor... My neighbor told me stories... I've read the reviews - good and bad... My own primary physician raves about him! The guys at Physical Therapy said he's the best! My high school classmate is a patient and she's undergone several successful surgeries... My conclusion: I like honesty. Just tell me and I will deal with it. It may take a while for me to accept the truth, but eventually, with facts and common sense, I'll get there... I appreciate Dr. Marumoto's style. The options are presented in a straightforward manner. I was able to decide on my own which route to take several times. I understand that it's my responsibility to take part in my health care and I'm happy with the outcome! During this last visit, I was a "work-in", meaning that all appointments were full, but they would squeeze me in. I expected a long wait, but I was seen fairly quickly and I was out before I even had to pay for parking in the Hale Pawaa Building! Inconceivable! That's how organized the team is! Front Desk, Cashier, APRN, Medical Assistants, etc. are all professional and well-trained! Mahalo for your great service!

In November 2025, I prepaid several thousand dollars for PRP injections, but after surgery the plan changed and the doctor agreed a refund was owed for injections not received. This was never disputed. Despite that, it took about six months of repeated calls, emails, and office visits to receive the refund. I was told multiple times that the refund had been processed or mailed when it had not. I am sharing this so patients can be aware of the refund process before paying large amounts upfront. Although the Dr. blamed a bad billing company, the correspondence I had was always with his office staff who were communicating with him.

    I just had a procedure done this week and must give kudos to Dr Kan and his entire team. Seriously…read moreone of the most efficiently-run medical office I've ever encountered. At the initial appointment, Dr Kan went over a thorough explanation of my injury, what he would do to fix it, how long the procedure would take, and what to do after the procedure. All in under 10 minutes, and that included my questions. I was pre-registered the week before the appointment. I mean, they disbursed the medication I would need the WEEK before so no need to go to the pharmacy while disoriented from anesthesia. On the day of, everyone checked in on the ipad, and I pre-paid before the procedure. Prepping was done super fast and I didn't wait long for anything. I elected to sleep rather than hear the "crunching sounds" from the procedure (didn't sound pleasant). After sleeping an hour or so, one of the nurses woke me up and called my sister for pickup. The day after, my shoulder felt better than it had in months. Would definitely recommend Dr Kan and his team to anyone!

With the results, the next step was an appointment with the orthopedic surgeon. Scheduling the appointment caught me off guard. I inquired on the first available appointment as my injury was in early-July. Sunday was offered. A doctor who works on Sundays? I took it. Then, a little over a week prior to the appointment I received another phone call from the doctor's office asking to move up my appointment from the afternoon to mid morning on that Sunday. This worked better for me as I was anxious to the results of my injury and what direction to take. Because it was a Sunday, I opted for street parking and walked to Hale Pawa'a. I arrived 20min prior to my appointment as I anticipated forms to complete. To my surprise, I arrived to his office in suite 110 but was advised to check in across the hall at All Access Ortho (AAO) in suite 102. Because my information is already with AAO, check in process was quick with only one sheet to complete, requesting me to document my current status since my injury. I then returned to suite 110 with my completed form. I didn't even sit down for 5min and my name was called. The staff escorted me to an examination room and in less than 5min Dr. Kan entered. I found Dr. Kan to be very personable and informative. He explained my situation where I understood. He broke things down where facts were stated and what action to take. I was dreading the thought of surgery but it is what it is. I want full mobility of my left arm and when advised this is a common procedure with a high success rate. With physical therapy post surgery, I was advised I'll be back to normal. With that explanation, I trust Dr. Kan and I agreed. I now await the approval of the insurance company before I can schedule this procedure. Overall, a positive first experience and now feel better knowing of my current condition and what steps are needed for recovery. I'll admit there's a part of me that's concerned but I need to trust the professional. Dr. Kan and his staff extended me with great customer service and care where this business is worthy of a 5-star rating.

Since being diagnosed with a couple…read moreof serious health issues since 2022, I have formed a family of my own from the myriad of compassionate healthcare providers I have been privileged to have on my team, since retiring back to the islands. Especially since my own family of 8 siblings have all passed. I was the youngest and am now 76. Sadly, they all passed from cancer or heart disease. My dad died when I was one of heart disease. My mom was a diabetic, suffered heart disease and sadly succumbed to Alzheimers towards the end of her life. I tell all this to confirm the seriousness with which I write a review for Dr Kane and Wendy. To finally meet the most compassionate medical care practitioners is karma coming back to me for the positive energy with which I try to live my life now. Dr. Kane is a caring human being first; a doctor second. He is the first doctor who let me tell him about myself first. My thoughts and anecdotal history about my symptoms. Before he went into his medical expertise. No doctor before him has ever shown as much interest in getting to know the person behind the ailments. How refreshing to feel seen. And then really heard. Being the youngest of 9, I often felt invisible. And in those days, "children were seen and not heard." Dr. Kane explained the reasons for my symptoms regarding my right knee pain. Thankfully, it was not a recurrence of my meniscus tear from 2017. It was just a little irritation to a bit of arthritis. Thank God! Trickier is my recurring frozen shoulder. But Dr. Kane delivered what I had hoped he could. Because of breathing issues to do with one of my diseases, I should not have anesthesia. So, my shoulder will be anestathized, not me. I will immediately follow up with PT. Thank you, God! For Dr. Kane and Wendy, who handles everything with such grace and amazing speed. I love them both. Like ohana. Hugs and much aloha to both of them. Millie Vierra

In the beginning it was great, I would see a doctor about 50% of the time and now I only see a NP and all they do is take X-rays, have me move around and sometime never even touch me or move me around and offer cortisone/steroids. I ask to opt for PT as I don't to bandaid w/ drugs. They ask me if I want a doctors note to excuse me from work, which I don't want. Quality of care is not what it use to be :( It is easy to get in, great expanded hours of operation and if you have an urgent issue it is easy to get in. So much better than an ER. I will never go to a hospital again unless it is truly an emergency and I have no choice.
