Patient Reviews
Feb 08, 2020
I had back surgery a few years back and have highly recommended Dr. Sakamoto. We traveled a long-distance for his expertise, but he was worth it. He explained everything thoroughly to me on layman's terms. It was evident from a local md that I may need something done with scoliosis and he recommended against the surgery at 78 years old. It was the best call for me and I made peace with the curvature of the spine. Dr. Sakamoto goes over and beyond for his patients.
