Wonderful staff, Dr.Kuwamura, is an excellent doctor. Had surgery in June. After a few hours in surgery, have my discs replaced. Worse thing was wearing the neck brace for 10 days. My neck scar is almost gone and disappearing daily.

Dr. Kuwamara and his staff were very professional and accommodating. They handled my surgery with care and followed up with me to check on me.

Dr K is a great doctor and skilled surgeon.He told me on a previous visit I needed a minimal laminectomy.I went back a month later after the symptoms worsened to see if it could still be done.He said yes&asked if I wanted to schedule then.I said I would call the next day to schedule it.Did that,was given Maria's voicemail, left a message.Again 2 days later.Went in person 3th day.On phone couldn't talk.8 messages left in all,no call back.Total waste of time.Bye-bye Dr.K.Please get better staffing

every thing was great leading up to the surgery. but after, they dont care. I developed 2 autoimmune disorders bcuz the surgery. they dont tell you that is possible before hand. then 5 months later, I get a call that I owe a balance of $94. $70 of which is bull. from a copay they claim I didnt pay. but It was paid in cash and they lost receipt. I tried to pay the other $24 right then and she refused payment. but told me they canceled all my appt until its paid in full. so I cant see him anymore

I was referred to Dr. Kuwamura about 2 months ago. Taren called me right away and was asking to schedule me. I was paying out of pocket so at the time, Taren said I could get my CT scan before I saw the Dr. rather than pay for two trips since I would probably need a CT anyway. Had trouble getting CT because needed referrals from in network Dr so I changed my insurance to one that includes Kuwamura as well as the CT place. Got my CT finally and called Kuwamura to schedule. Now a new girl, Meliss

Dr. Kuwamura gave me my life back! Great staff, nice office, you will immediately feel comfortable and well taken care of. After 14 other surgeons said no, he was the first to say yes. I have degenerative disk disease, spondylosis, femoral narrowing, etc. etc. etc. If there is a problem, I have it! I had 3 destroyed disks in my neck, and 4 in my lower back. I was planning to get my lower back done first, but a vertebra in my neck slipped, making it impossible to function. Dr K fixed me!

Dr. Kuwamura is a fabulous surgeon with great bedside demeanor. He explained my surgery completely, letting me know exactly what to expect before, during, and after surgery. The follow up visits and any concerns after surgery were handled with dignity and respect, not only by Dr. Kuwamura but also his staff. I would strongly recommend Dr. Kuwamura for anyone in need of cervical surgery. Thanks so much, Dr. K.

Horrible! Office staff is rude, inconsiderate, lacks empathy and compassion! If you are suffering and in need of relief don't go here. It will take several months of repeated appointments and more expensive than usual MRI's and physical therapy and repeated calls to get the treatment you need. They tell you they are going to call you,order an MRI and you have to keep calling them back! Waste of money and time. Go somewhere else! Wait time good cause no patients are there. Never saw any others

The Office Staff at Dr. Kuwamura's office are the most inconsiderate, uncompassionate, unprofessional people I have ever dealt with in the medical realm! They scheduled me for surgery and 6 days later told me they took if off the books. After an 8 minute phone call to reschedule surgery, I still didn't get a day that was even available before I just hung up. If you don't mind rude inconsiderate people; this is the place to go. They even told me I should find another Dr. Not doing him any favors
