Patient Reviews
Dec 15, 2017
Dr. Kao is kind caring and very smart. He's taken the initiative to find new ways of helping his patients by researching new relevant treatments. He was well prepared for my first appointment. and had read my full medical file, which is quite large. He's noticed that some number of pain patients have Ehlers-Danlos and has worked to find specific treatment to help us recover. After decades of dealing with doctors that treated me like a faker, it's wonderful to be treated with respect.
