Accessibility: Poor. Attention to Patient Needs: Poor…read more Bedside Manner: Poor. Initially friendly, but quickly impatient. Interrupts, does not allow the patient to communicate. Assumes rather than inquires. Lectures rather than listens. Knowledge Base: Questionable, remedial. My Experiences: Dr. Behling was physically absent at 2 of 3 in-office appointments, unprepared at 3rd visit. At my initial assessment, the MA took my vitals, led me to an exam room, and then after a long wait brought in an iPad with Dr. Behling on a video chat app. If you work in healthcare, you know all initial assessments are performed in-person. This also happened at my third visit. It is frustrating to drive 35 minutes to an office and sit there for an hour only to discover that the doctor is on a ship in the middle of the ocean, using satellite internet with unreliable service. Dr. Behling's impatience, assumptiveness, and proclivity to jump to incorrect conclusions impeded effective communication and appropriate delivery of care. A healthcare assessment starts with the physician asking questions and listening to the patient's answers. Not only did Dr. Behling not ask the questions, but when given a small amount of information he immediately jumped to wrong conclusions and did not allow the opportunity to communicate further. When I called to report a problem, Dr. Behling refused to take or return my phone call and instead instructed his staff to set up a telephone visit a couple weeks later. This resulted in me seeking medical advice elsewhere, but Dr. Behling did not bother to ask that question either. Testosterone Pellet Placement: Dr. Behling did not demonstrate expertise with this procedure and would benefit from further education. He placed the pellets in the middle of the gluteals instead of more towards the hip. Every time I sat down, such as to drive home, the pressure of sitting made it feel that the pellets would be pushed out. I was constantly checking for correct placement. This area was very sore for 2 weeks and I now have a noticeable scar in a once beautiful area. I'm sad to say I experienced very poor delivery of care. Before writing this review, I attempted to communicate these issues to both Dr. Behling and his office staff; however, his office manager/wife was more interested in defending him than listening, resulting in her outright contradicting her own husband's medical instructions.

It helped me a lot to understand what was going on with my knees. It also truly opened my eyes to what sitting for several hours a day in an office job was doing to my hip flexors, quads, glutes and calves. I graduated physical therapy and felt amazing! The medical gym at OrthoSport was also greatly recommended to me. I did my free personal consultation in mid-February and have been a regular ever since! Mike Hegazy and Nico started me on my well-being journey. I've also worked out with Thomas and Carly. ALL OF THE TRAINERS THERE ARE AMAZING! So far I've lost 15 pounds in 3 months. Even I'm continually impressed with how much stronger I'm getting. I wholeheartedly recommend physical therapy and medical fitness here! Trust me, they're top notch and you won't be disappointed!

I went to Dr. Ferrante for a hip problem after my orthopedic hip doctor wasn't helping me. She is…read morevery personable and carefully listened to my concerns, reviewed my imaging, and asked appropriate questions. We proceeded with a PRP injection, which I learned that there was actual homework/prep work for me to do BEFORE the treatment that the hip MD didn't even tell me about! Such things like stopping NSAIDs, drinking, fasting, etc. to help make the PRP injection more successful. I would not have known this if it weren't for Dr. Ferrante. The injection went smoothly and I experienced significant pain relief. I will return to do the other hip now that I know how successful it is. I know PRP injections are expensive, but definitely worth the price (insurance doesn't pay for them thru a MD anyways). She made me feel comfortable (as comfortable as you can- these injections are sore) thru out the procedure, and increased my trust by providing me with a lot of information about what to expect before/during/after, and of course following up. Of note, when I came in for a hip follow up, she noticed I had a wrist brace on, and took initiative to inquire about this new injury and brainstormed a special taping to help offload/support the area (again, something that the orthopedic PA didn't think about) which also provided more stability/less pain for my wrist. She offered another treatment option for it if occupational therapy didn't help. I highly recommend Dr. Ferrante, she takes the time to listen, thinks outside the box, keeps you well-informed, and offers effective solutions to your health concerns.

Well first of all, Let me say that because Dr. Elizabeth holds practice in my hometown of Kailua it…read moremade it an easy decision for me to go see a doctor only 8 minutes down the road. Her office is not the typical doctor's office which I love. I'm over the waiting rooms and being passed off to multiple people before getting to see the doctor. With Dr. Elizabeth you get to the source right away. I also chose her for my Laser Lipo because she has the latest technology. I did my research and the older technology burns more and possibly even leaves bruises. So let me just share with you what i experienced. It wasn't very sore, but it does test your comfort levels. It was very fast, the treatment time was 25 minutes long. Love that. Side Effects? Nothing major.. after day 1 feels like a minor sunburn on the area that the laser was applied. That feeling lasted for about a day or so. I definitely feel that it is WORKING. Still really early but I'll try to remember to post an update after the 6 and 12 week mark Being an FDA approved procedure meant a lot to me because i didn't want to be the guinea pig for any untested stuff. Means a lot to me that i can have easy access to her if i did have any post procedure questions... Cause after all... I did have a laser purposely destroy cells on the inside of my body.. lol. It's nice i can reach out should i need to. Thanks Dr Elizabeth for making the process quick (I know i can be impatient and I usually want things now) and for the most part.... Painless. Super excited!

1.   The curriculum from The Department of Complementary and Integrative Medicine (CIM) of John A…read moreBurns School of Medicine at University of Hawaii is outstanding. Applying to this rotation has been by far one of the best decisions I have made in my entire life. 2.   Meeting Dr. Christenson's was amazing. A truly eye opening experience. I enjoyed how she has found a way to incorporate western and eastern medicine. I like how she is an MD and so she know what our background is (as medical student). The way she explains / discusses topics to us is great because she knows what we need to know, for example, when she talks about the Yin and the Yang, she does so in a way we can quickly grasp the concept and figure at how to incorporate it onto our data bank. 3.   The Qigong practice we did at her office backyard was excellent and outstanding. I will always remember it. Personal experience is much better than reading something. Her harp was amazing too. It is such a beautiful instrument. 4.   I liked how she showed us different books, that way when we need a reliable reference in the future, we know where to go. 5.   I also liked hearing about Dr. Christenson's struggle with self confidence coming from a culture that expect women to be passive. I could identify myself with her in this way.     6.   If we, fresh out from medical school, do not have access to these knowledge, such as de-stress techniques, breathing exercise, yoga, massages, music therapy, etc... then how do we heal ourselves and our patients? I always felt that western medicine was not enough.  CIM comes into play here. Through this elective, I was able to learn this. Thank you for making the workload so manageable and light! It really gives us a tremendous once in a lifetime opportunity to heal and to grow!!!

They probably most definitely know me more than hubs for sure. After watching a short video alone Dr. Anegawa knocked and entered. My regular doctor told me yesterday, " you'll like her, she's nice." Petite woman with short hair, glasses and a caring disposition. She doodled on a piece of paper on a clipboard how sugar affects the body, carbs only 3 times a day. I thought I can handle that but everything I had listed cereal, fruits, almond milk, ramen, and milk tea all count as carbs- I'm in trouble. Guess what? Diet pepsi is okay. I signed up for an informational session for protein supplements at Kapiolani Medical Center in a few weeks. Then I was set up for next appointment with her, also a separate day to talk to a dietician, need to go take a blood test in two months before seeing her again. I've got my work cut out for me.
