Dr. Michael Kenji Yamazaki, MD

I visited Dr. Michael Yamazaki in Sports Medicine and feel compelled to leave a glowing review. I’m used to being asked what’s currently bothering me, rather than being given the floor to start from the beginning and walk through all the steps that have led me to being here today. Dr. Yamazaki gave me more than adequate time to give an overview of my complex past, to paint a full picture, and to truly listen to my health history. Despite being a new patient, he came prepared & already knew my case quite well, having read through my chart, my many many scanned-in visit summaries from previous outside office visits, PT visits, surgeries, & imaging…it was very impressive. Dr. Yamazaki spoke in terms that made sense, often using some pretty great metaphors along the way. He was articulate, thorough, and incredibly knowledgeable. My visit with Dr. Yamazaki is easily in my top 5 provider visits of all time and I feel that I’m in very good hands moving forward. I can’t thank him enough… for the great initial experience and for taking the extra-extra time out of the end of his day to discuss in detail. As a patient, it really makes all the difference if you don’t feel like you’re on the clock and need to rush through history, follow-ups, & questions (I often ask many) in a single breath. Mahalo.

Dr. Yamazaki performed the Tenex procedure, for my foot's plantar fasciitis which I've been suffering with for almost 2 yrs. After 3 months, all pain went away! This was after seeing 3 podiatrists for that problem, with no success. His bedside manners are excellent in addition to his professionalism. I highly recommend him.

I was referred by another Dr. recommending him to be the best on the island. He is very welcoming and easy to speak to. I was very pleased that he explained every option and every detail that goes along with it. And was able to answer all my questions to put me at ease on what the process will look like. He followed up as he said he would with my results and set me up for my next step. Definitely a great recommendation!!!

Dr. Yamasaki is the best in patient relations. He explains in simple. layman terms and has given me excellent diagnosis

Examined my very painful shoulder problems with ultrasound, then fixed them by an out-patient procedure - and it, amazingly, worked!
