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.

Hip Resurfacing
This recent visit was the 12-year follow-up to my BHR procedure. Dr. Mori always shows me on my X-ray where he checks for any telltale signs of failure. As always, there were none. He also relayed the results of a 15-year study on my procedure. Like mine, the vast majority were highly successful.

Exceptional Orthopedic Physician
Very knowledgable, caring and patient. Never have to wait. He is always on time. And sometimes he will take you earlier if he can. Asks pertinent questions. My PT even said the surgery went so well and one of the best recoveries he has seen. I have recommended family and friends because of my confidence in Dr. Mori.

Excellent Care
I came in with a problem with my knee. He evaluated the situation and listened to my concerns. Dr. Mori recommended an MRI to see specifically the situation. The following week we met. We looked at the MRI together and explained exactly what was going on. I'm extremely satisfied with his professional, friendly staff. I recommend Dr. Mori highly to anyone with a sports medicine-related issue.

Knee Injury
After my xrays were taken, I went to my appointment, filled out my forms and then saw Dr. Mori. He explained my xray, showed what was causing the pain and gave me a couple of options on how to treat the pain in my knee. He listens and answered my questions. After my treatment with Dr. Mori (approximately 4 weeks ago), my knee is feeling much better. I recommended my family and friends to Dr. Mori and they are all current patients. Very kind doctor.

Trigger finger treatment
Dr. Mori has been successfully treating my trigger fingers for about three years. He has an excellent reputation for his expertise in knee repair surgery. He is kind, intelligent and professional. He once fixed my good friend's foot by noticing his shoes were too small. Dr. Mori is truly a compassionate physician.

The doctor was kind and patient. He answered thoroughly explained the extent of injury and normal treatment or response. He was always polite, showed a caring attitude, and even anticipated questions regarding follow-up care and timeframe for healing and resumption of normal activities, which was very helpful.

The best surgeon we can trust!!
His explanations were very precise and easy to understand, and I was able to undergo shoulder surgery without any anxiety at all.His surgical technique was excellent, and contrary to my expectations, I felt only minimal pain after the operation.He speaks in a very soft way, and I felt positive energy that made my pain ease just by talking to him, so I think he is a trustworthy surgeon.

Dr. Mori Review
Dr. Mori is soft spoken and explained what I had and what was going to do to repair my shoulder in understandable language. He answered my concerns. Surprisingly, I had no post-surgery pain at all. One week after the surgery, Dr. Mori showed me two simple stretches to gain mobility for my arm. Second week after the surgery, I was cleared to resume my normal activities and Dr. Mori showed me several more stretches to do. No physical therapy required. The office staff is very courteous, very friendly and very professional. The waiting room is relaxing because hardly anybody is there so expect to see the doctor at close to your appointment time. Because the time frame spent at the doctor was short, it was the first time in my life that I didn't have to pay for parking. Dr. Mori sent me a thank you card for entrusting him and his staff for my care. Dr. Mori and his staff is a complete circle of what a doctor should be.
