Been in left backside hip pain for over 2 years since I did floor work after the hurricane two years ago. All kinds of treatment from 3 different ortho doctors suggesting hip replacement, bursitis, stretching and given 5 shots... nothing worked!! Then I met Dr Makani. I could not tell him exactly where the pain was except all over. First he recommended a SI joint shot which immediately eliminated half my pain. Then we treated muscles in upper back hip, and I am improving daily. Soon I should be out of pain and walking upright!!!! A BIG Thank You to the Doc. JB, Lakeland Fl

Dr. Makani performed a knee replacement on me in July, 2017. I've been to his office numerous times prior to and following the procedure and can't say enough about his demeanor, professionalism and caring attitude. His staff, (Tami and Cliff), are TOP NOTCH and are an outstanding reflection on him as well as a HUGE asset to Watson Clinic. I am so very fortunate to be a patient. Mike Linn
