    Staff is nice. Dr Birch is nice. But from my visit he was a very hands off doctor.. spoke vaguely…read moreabout my injury without really giving me a solid answer or making me feel secure about things. Id get a second opinion if you see Dr Birch first. I saw another podiatrist on island that went above and beyond to explain things and help me out.. maybe I caught Dr birch on an off day or lazy day or maybe I wasn't taken seriously because I'm not old & cripple.

    Initially, when I went to the Island Foot Specialist I had a good appointment. Actually, this…read moredoctor's office is one of the nicest. The doctor was knowledgeable and gave me a couple of options for treatment. They even had samples of the medication he prescribed so I could start treatment immediately, while I got my prescription filled. Unfortunately, as I would find out this appointment and treatment is where the good experience turned into a multi-month issue dealing with the lack of support staff to get a prescription pre-auth approved. While you wouldn't think that insurance pre-authorization should be a big issue, with this office and the processes they have in place took 2 months for the nurse to even submit the pre-auth to the insurance. The bottleneck is one person to submit the pre-auth paperwork and she said they were short-staffed. After I contacted the office to find out what other solutions are available the nurse said that the reason the pre-auth was denied was that I needed a test that she said: "The test was not available on the island of Maui". She said I had an option to appeal the pre-auth denial but I would need to fill that out myself and submit it to the insurance company. I stated in the appeal to the denial of the pre-auth that it was a catch-22 because the test they needed to approve the prescription was not available here on Maui. after submitting the appeal I get a call from the insurance company that the information provided by the nurse was incorrect and there is a place to get the test in Kihei. The insurance company said that the doctor's office will contact me with a referral. This never happened and after a week I called the office and they said the referral would be to the doctor, which they didn't provide to me or the doctor's office. Because of the office's misinformation, incorrect prescription pre-auth submitted by the doctor's office, and not responding to the insurance company in a timely fashion, I just got the denial to the appeal from the insurance company. At this point, I am done with this office and will try another doctor that has an office that is better able to support their clients.

    I did a stem cell treatment with Dr Davidson. I paid six grand Long story short it's nine months…read morenow and my knee function is worse than when I got the treatment. It was swollen at the injection site, they told me to go to minute medical twice. I asked if they would consider some type of refund, altho I signed the paper, they wouldn't have anything to do with that. I respect what they do but to me there all about the money. They didn't seem to careless about my knee. Here I am broke with a worse functioning knee than when I first came in. Very disappointed with my results

    I was as skeptical as skeptical could be. After all, Maui is a place where there seems to be more…read morehealers than people to be healed. Nevertheless, I did my homework on what Dr. Davison was offering, and when I went in for his analysis of my back condition I had a truckload of well educated questions. No problem with Doc's responses, without question, his knowledge, understanding and proper procedures are cutting edge. Basically, Doc Davison is smart as hell. I know, because I drilled him, and I'm smart as hell. He actually teaches other doctors how to diagnose and implement his procedures. We did the stem cell therapy where the cells came from frozen cells from placenta and or cord afterbirth. (Not sure about whether cord stem cells are part of his stock, actually.) Here's the bottom line: It wasnt cheap, it was a 45 minute procedure, it didn't hurt very much. I went in damned near crippled and within 3 days I was feeling 80% normal. It's now 3 weeks and I'm 95% normal. Sounds too good to be true? Yep, I know it does, but its true. Finaly, do your homework about stem cell therapy. Go in knowing something about it. When you see Dr. Davison you'll find out that he knows the ins and outs way more than what's published on the Internet. He's pretty busy, but when you're in his office theres nothing else but you on his mind. As I continue to find my body falling behind my spirit, I'll be seeing Doctor Davison to try to balance my physical being with my perception of my strength and mobility.
