Dr. Hirahara is my hero. The care that he has taken in fixing my knees is no less than miraculous. Dr. Hirahara listens to his patients. He will do what is best for each patient. There aren't enough words to express my thanks for Dr. Hirahara and his "straight-shooting" personality and works. Dr. Alan Hirahara will consult with you, tell you what he can do, ask what your thoughts are and he will take the absolute BEST care of you.

I selected Dr Hirahara from many others because I wanted a successful rotator cuff repair. He failed miserably. I needed three surgeries and still am having shoulder pain.

I still had major pain Dr Hirahara operated on me again. During the follow-up appointment he told me that ... read more
