Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Poor patient caring
Transition to Queens horrible. OA was decent before but now no one wants to take care of humbug back problems.

Dr. Lim’s care and concern is exceptional as I experienced during my visit yesterday. After review and discussion regarding EKG pre-op visit with NP/PCP, while I was cleared for surgery there was a referral for cardiologist follow up visit. I asked his opinion since I did not hear from the cardiologist to whom I was referred for an appointment. We had lengthy discussion which I appreciated and he even took time to call a cardiologist to see if there was any chance to get an appointment prior to surgery. While an appointment wasn’t possible, Dr. Lim’s personal effort was completely unexpected and I am grateful and 100% committed to his care. Because surgery was arranged for March 17; he gave me a day to make a decision. Although it was a difficult decision; I advised his staff that I decided to delay surgery until I’m able to have an appointment with a cardiologist. Thank you for this opportunity.

Dr Lim is the man ! He takes the time to answer questions and help his patients get to where they want to be with their injury . He explains all options in detail , areas of concern and helps make the unfortunate situation a positive one . I would 100% recommend him to others . The best thing I like about Dr Lim is that he really helped ease my concerns after my surgery . His line is available at any time . His staff is very helpful and courteous with appointments and paperwork . I hope I do not have another sports injury again , but I know who to go to if this happens . Thanks team !

EXCEPTIONAL!
This was my second rotator cuff tear and repair. From the start, Dr. Lim demonstrated another level of attentiveness to care. His process proved to be far less painful that the first time and more personal. His calls after hours illustrated concern and consideration. I actually feel that his method of healing was thought out and purposeful. I felt I was in good hands at all times.

Very pleasant experience considering the appointment was for pain in my shoulder and a mending broken toe. Dr Lim explained things to me and also listened to me when I had questions or concerns. I would definitely recommend him to my family and friends.

My first time visiting the office of Daniel Lim. The place is very clean and the staff is very nice and accommodating, I have my 1 year old son with me and they didn't mind at all. Dr Daniel Lim is very informative about my case and gave me option to choose on how to proceed with my situation. Overall, I had a truly exceptional experience at the Orthopedic Associates in Ka Uka Blvd in Waipahu in the hands of Dr. Daniel Lim.
