    Day 7 after removing the surgical tape.
    Nani H.

    I am now 6 weeks post Total Knee Replacement surgery and this is my long winded review singing high praises for Dr. Linda Rasmussen. I've been suffering with right knee pain for a number of years. Had arthroscopic surgery for torn meniscus twice in the past. I could feel my bones rubbing and I'm an active person, so I kept at my normal brutal workouts in spite of the pain. Previously consulted with a few orthopedic surgeons and had the cortisone and gel injections for pain relief. My first meeting with Dr. Linda was March 2024. My hope was to schedule my TKR in 2025. Dr. Linda was very friendly and upon observing my x-rays advised me to have a total knee replacement sooner than later. Dr. Linda informed me that my knee looked very bad and it could just give out at any time which would result in other possible injuries. My biggest fear was taking opioids post surgery for pain. I know a few people who became addicted and I did not want this to happen to me. Dr. Linda listened to my concerns and explained that post surgery pain could be managed with either the opioids or around the clock Ibuprofen & Tylenol. We scheduled surgery for July 15, 2024. The staff at Castle Hospital was nothing short of amazing from the joint care class, to the pre-op EKG & blood screening and my surgery day. I was Dr. Linda's first surgery on the day of. I was a bit nervous, however again, the staff at Castle put me at ease. Dr. Linda came in to greet me before the surgery and assured me that the procedure would take under an hour. She spent a few more minutes reassuring my husband that I was in good hands and she would call him as soon as I was done. The surgery went great and I was able to go home by 2 pm. I stayed the course with the Ibuprofen & Tylenol pain management from the time I arrived home. I can honestly say that I did not experience any real pain, just a certain level of discomfort post surgery due to swelling and bruising. Within a few days, with icing and elevating I felt better. I never needed to use the walker and was up and walking around the house that night. By day 7, I could hold my weight up on my surgery leg! The scar has healed very nicely too. I am deeply grateful to Dr. Linda Rasmussen and her wonderful staff for getting me through this. I would highly recommend Dr. Linda to anyone who is living with pain and is on the fence about surgery, to make an appointment for a consult. You will not be disappointed. Lastly, Dr. Linda gives the best hugs!

    X-ray of my new hip!

    Dr. Rasmussen performed a full hip replacement on my left hip and did a fabulous job! I Haverty had any bruising, the incision was glued shut so the scarring is minimal and I'm almost back to 100% just five weeks post surgery! She is extremely gentle and I don't have any numbness or loss of sensation. I am overly pleased with the outcome and so grateful that the VA referred me to her! I highly recommend her to anyone needing a hip replacement. Side note: if you need a walker the VA sucks and it takes weeks but you can get one for about $12-$15 from your local Goodwill store. That's what I did.

    Office is clean and great location in Kailua

    For: Brandee Black, M.D. - Sports Medicine / Windward…read moreOrthopaedic Group Long post, but fractures are personal. Diagnosis: fractured ankle with 7mm mortise widening. Life lesson: learn to pause (or some kumbaya namaste ohm bs) If you ever find yourself in the unfortunate position of discovering that your ankle, foot, and leg have collectively decided to quit mid-week--because you're a great uncle, and maybe you were chasing children before bedtime-and honestly who doesn't love a Hump Day plot twist--let me save you some time: Dr. Brandee Black is the doctor you want. Here's the timeline. Wednesday: Foot fractured. Foot is dangling. It's bedtime and I'm old. Cut to 2:00am ER visit: I'm told to elevate for 24 hours, take Tylenol (not Advil...apparently Advil doesn't help bones heal, who knew. ) Then I was told to "call ortho." And they gave me Dr. Black as a referral. But, who doesn't love lying around with their foot dangling while their toes slowly transform into Vienna sausages? All the little piggies were absolutely not going to market tho...not on my watch. And there's nothing better than having your feet above your head ...so elevated rest and panic I did. What they don't mention is that even doctors have a work-life balance (as they should). So I spent the rest of the week and weekend marinating in swelling, fear, and Google searches until Monday, when calls were finally returned to schedule consults. Tuesday: I meet Dr. Black. Within minutes, she calmly confirmed all the things the ER didn't tell me (slash I didn't ask because it was 2am, I was in shock, and I just wanted to go home). Reality hit. Hard. I'll be honest--I was shopping around. Some doctors looked exhausted. Some looked like they were 12. Some couldn't or wouldn't take me. Some offices failed the receptionist vibe check (details matter). Dr. Black (and team) passed all of it. She was sharp, present, and human. I respected her immediately. By the end of the consult--a full week after my nephew chose chaos and my ankle doubled down--she confirmed I needed surgery. And then... I pulled out my list. Twenty-three questions. Yes, I counted. Yes, I gathered them from ChatGPT after I put everything in my Patient Portal from the ER and asked Chat to give me a list of questions I wouldn't know to ask about and questions their peers would ask too. No, she did not flinch. She answered every single one--clearly, patiently, without rushing me, without talking down to me, and without that tired, quota-driven energy you sometimes get in medical offices (no shade, it is a business). I cried during the Q&A. Not a full sob--but definitely more than a single dignified tear. (Also, shoutout to the movie Boys Don't Cry... respectfully, they're wrong.) It had been a full week of "hurry up and wait," and it finally caught up to me. Then she scheduled surgery for the very next day. Wednesday: Surgery day at Castle. I'm sitting there waiting for my knifing (jk), and Dr. Black comes in to check on me. Even then--even then--she made time to ask if I had any last-minute questions. I did. Of course I did. But it was more for post surgery. I asked about PEMF mats ( ChatGPT again asked me to look into it and ask her)...She gave me an honest answer: it couldn't hurt, there are studies, but she didn't have a fully formed opinion yet. That kind of grounded honesty matters to me. The surgery itself? About an hour long, yet somehow felt like a one-night stand where I woke up disoriented and immediately had to do the walk of shame. Shout-out to the whole surgical team: * the cute doctor who gave me a nerve block (while my ass was fully out because he asked me to flip over--sir, have you been watching Heated Rivalry because I'm obedient and blushing, call me Shane Hollander. * the nurses who asked me the same questions approximately 97 times...ONLY THE LEFT FOOT ANKLE (nurses were a little less impressed with me but I digress) * the moment I woke up to liquids being forced down my throat before being gently but firmly kicked out like, "Okay, you're alive, a hui ho. Malama your mama." All jokes aside: I trusted Dr. Black with a complicated foot with multiple issues surgery, and I'm a patient with a very anxious attachment style. She earned my trust completely. Skilled, direct, compassionate, and present when it counted--before surgery, during surgery, and in the moments where fear sneaks in. She's delightful and non fussy - not much of a hand holder...all things that spoke to me. Truly. If you need an orthopedic surgeon who listens, answers your questions (even the long list ones), respects your intelligence, and still has a soul--Dr. Brandee Black is it. 10/10. Would let her fix my foot again. Would prefer not to need to tho Thank you Dr.Black Also thanks to Bri (the Nurse at WOG)

They focused on what they thought was "beautiful" rather than what i think is beautiful. I showed dr Fowler my wish pics and he said it was mainly doable and showed me all the fat he could harvest in order to make my dreams come true (not much but i already knew that). Dr Fowler was very thorough and is board certified and also has a board certified anesthesiologist which is important. I got lost looking for the building. For some reason i was looking for 923 and they are 928 Nuuanu. Parking sucks but thats the only thing. There are only about 7 street parking stalls. Id rather pay 17 dollars for parking and see Dr Fowler again than go to other doctors. He offered me more free consultations if i felt i needed them which was very generous. I called and megan answered promtly and professionally. She helped me quickly find the office without making me feel like an idiot. I came super early in the case of me getting lost and i didnt get too lost so i was really early. Megan said shed try to fit me in early which she did and dr Fowler came in straight away. The office is super clean and fresh feeling. It feels more like home than a surgical unit. Im really excited to get my bbl and even more excited that they have a groupon special for fat transfer. Highly recommend dr Fowler and Megan.

Many stayed because they like the Hawaii lifestyle but they know nothing about Aloha. I will never go back there again unless I am unconscious. I don't like hospitals and get anxious when I have to go, and they were so rude to me they turned it into a full blown panic attack. I tried to leave and they physically restrained me after I said these words "You do not have permission to touch my body." They violated my space in a big way, and that is illegal. You don't have a right to hold a patient down who does not want to be touched. I was already out the door at that point. You're lucky you didn't get sued. Then when I was sitting on a bench waiting for my husband, and meditating to calm myself down, they threatened to call security and HPD to remove me. I'm thinking go ahead, maybe they will give me a ride. Then they did send a humongous security guard who told me I was trespassing on private property and had to leave right that moment. WTF? I'm a little old lady who didn't want to be manhandled either. He was my son's age and was polite and just doing the job they told him to do. I don't blame him. It was those nurses that caused the whole incident from beginning to end. None of them could seem to realize that all I was ever trying to do was leave peacefully. I was in the ER for a reason. Did they expect me to walk home? This was all kinds of wrong. Castle has gone way downhill. P.S. There were witnesses.
