Takashi Hirase, MD

Honestly was very frustrated at first because it was a 3 month wait for my mom to see Dr. Hirase so he ended up being a 3rd opinion for her. She had a very disabling problem that prevented her from taking care of herself at home or playing with grandkids. Doctors kept recommending back fusion but she is 74 and I was very uneasy about this. Only Dr. Hirase offered to do a endoscopic decompressing procedure that completely relieved her. She came home with a small band aid on her back with no pain! So was totally worth the wait and I very much understand why there is one. God bless

Dr. Hirase is incredible. He takes the time to truly listen. He's clear with his information. He is very easy to understand and I really feel cared for and safe with him. And I just had an amazing, have had an amazing experience every time I've seen him. And he always makes sure to follow up and answer any questions I've needed throughout the recovery. And I've just been very, very happy with his care.

Dr Hirase explained everything clearly. My pain has completely resolved as a result of his treatment.

I had a big ruptured disc in my back that was causing my foot and toes to stop working. Dr. Hirase saw me immediately and fixed the problem completely. I am back in the gym without pain three weeks from procedure. Office and hospital staff were all exceptional. Thank you very much

Does not discriminate against medicare which is a huge relief in the current age. Staff in the office is very nice. Received daily check up calls from Dr after operation.

I recently had lumbar spine surgery with Dr. Hirase and I couldn’t be more grateful for the exceptional care I received. From the very first consultation, he took the time to listen, explain my condition in clear terms, and walk me through every step of the treatment plan. His calm, confident manner immediately put me at ease. The surgery itself went incredibly smooth, and the results have been life-changing. After more than 10 years of pain, I finally feel like myself again. Truly remarkable. What stood out just as much was the compassion shown by both Dr. Hirase and their entire team including Megan and Ardell. They checked on me frequently before and after surgery, answered all my questions, and made sure I felt supported throughout my recovery. I can’t recommend Dr. Hirase and his team highly enough. You will be in the best hands here.

I had an artificial disc replacement with Dr. Takashi Hirase at C6-C7, and the results have been life-changing. Before surgery, I suffered from severe radiculopathy pain and had to take Norco daily to get through the day. Since the surgery, my pain is completely gone—I don’t even need Tylenol anymore. Dr. Hirase’s knowledge, confidence, and clear communication gave me reassurance from the very beginning. He explained what to expect, guided me through the process, and delivered exactly what he said he would. His care and expertise truly changed my life, and I am deeply grateful. If you are suffering from cervical radiculopathy, I highly recommend Dr. Hirase for artificial disc replacement. He gave me my quality of life back.

I saw Dr. Hirase through another doctor at HSS when I only had medicare and had to get neck surgery because my left hand stopped working. been almost 2 years now and I am completely back to normal. I can’t thank him enough, would highly recommend

He is a good dr that takes my pain very seriously
