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. I had the chance to be treated by her and the session left me feeling grounded, realigned, and more energized. The supplements she recommended helped me feel revitalized at a time when school stress was catching up to me. The best part? The environment she creates. Ohana Osteopathy is a place to heal rather than just another clinic. You're welcomed, listened to, and cared for in a way that might seem rare in medicine these days. If you're looking for a physician who blends the sharp mind of a medical doctor with the intuitive, healing touch of osteopathic care, Dr. Kodama is the real deal!!

The practice is called Ohana, which in Hawaiian means family and you definitely feel like you're a part of her family. I am so happy that I found her.

What can I say about Anna? If the outside world and all its trials and tribulations are my…read morekryptonite, then Anna's sanctuary is my Fortress of Solitude -- perhaps not the perfect metaphor, but she truly possesses a kind of superpower. I started seeing Anna back in 2018 (possibly even earlier -- memory becomes less reliable with age). At the time, I was training heavily in Krav Maga and routinely showed up bruised, sore, and occasionally feeling completely broken. Time and again, Anna put me back together. She still does. While I've since had to give up Krav Maga due to injury, my body has only developed a whole new set of issues. What continually amazes me is that Anna is a consummate learner. She is constantly studying, refining, and mastering new modalities, all of which she thoughtfully incorporates into her practice to better help her clients. Beyond her technical skill, Anna is simply an extraordinary human being -- compassionate, intuitive, calming, and deeply invested in the wellbeing of the people she treats. Over the years, I've benefited not only from her healing work, but also from her kindness and friendship. I genuinely don't know what I'd do without her. If you're fortunate enough to find a spot on her calendar (and because she is a sole practitioner, availability is understandably limited), I suspect you'll quickly understand exactly why her clients speak so highly of her. Anna -- thank you, truly.

I've had several body work sessions a year with Anna for the last twenty years. I'm a pretty…read morehealthy guy, so those sessions are usually a tune-up of sorts that leaves my body and spirit feeling freer and more dependable as I move through my day. The session itself feels great, and the gradual re-set that happens in my body over the following few days is palpable and lasting. When I did have a problem with a flair-up from an old shoulder injury and with a bout of sciatica that likely came from too much sitting at the computer, Anna was able to discern the source of each injury and begin the appropriate treatment on the spot. The work she ultimately did on both of my rotator cuffs returned the range of motion in my shoulders that I had in my twenties. The work she did on my lower back and hips helped resolve the problem of the sciatica entirely, and after faithfully following her recommendations for regular stretches, I've not had a recurrence in a decade. I also finally stopped leaving my wallet in my back pocket while driving after Anna told me for the hundredth time it was bad for my back and hips, and sure enough, there has been a further reduction of pain and stiffness that I thought was just normal until it went away entirely. This is really good stuff. Kevin S. 61 years old from Arcata, CA

He frequently reached out to me, their daughter, to provide updates and discuss concerns, and responded quickly to both texts and phone calls. He had a good working relationship with the Belmont nurse's team, and effectively coordinated their care. He was especially helpful when my mother went into the hospital a few years ago, working with the hospital and with me to get her released faster and continue her care in her residence, and later with discussing hospice care. Most importantly, my mother LIKED him, trusted him, and listened to him, which was not always easy to achieve. Thank heaven for Dr. Lin!

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.
