As a former US Navy member, I was drawn to Dr. Kuwamura’s 5-star reviews and bio, especially his shared military background. After carefully considering my options, I made the decision to undergo surgery with him.After surgery, I was able to return to long-distance cycling, a passion of mine. This allowed me to pursue my goal of completing a century. Additionally, I was able to resume my studies at college and sit for extended periods without the pain that had previously hindered me.Thanks to Dr. Kuwamura’s exceptional skill... read more

Dr. Kuwamura is an amazing doctor. He works with you as the patient in determining what you're willing to have done through discussions giving options to think about.

Next, he implanted a spinal neurostimulator to reduce pain which was effective for four and a half years. Today he performed MITR (minimally invasive tubular retractor) lumbar microsurgery to remove hern... read more

I have to say we could not be happier with our experience with Dr K. His staff was very welcoming, professional, and responsive. But I have to say Dr K has been a Blessing to my wife and I. My wife SUFFERED with back pain for years. First meeting with Dr Kuwamura his bedside manner is great, he is friendly, professional, explains everything thoroughly and more importantly listens to all of our concerns and needs. He explained what he could do to make things better. My wife had L4, L5 fused with S1. She suffered with leg pain... read more

After living with pain for 3 yrs......A year ago this month I made a very difficult decision for myself to have a ALIF Surgery. Months before I had the SI Joint Fusion surgery (by a diff doctor) that did not work. It actually made my pain worse. I visited with Dr Kuwamura and he sent me to have several test done before coming to the conclusion of needing the ALIF......even sent me for a second opinion himself because he saw I was scared. After having the ALIF Surgery my recovery was not difficult at all......to be honest I w... read more
