Anyone who has been a patient of Dr. Wakatsuki should be considered fortunate. He is a compassionate, kind gentleman; unlike any that you will ever meet as an orthopedic surgeon. He respects your view on how to be treated and does anything he can to make you comfortable during a horrible ordeal… and anyone that needs an orthopedic surgeon would need such TLC. He saved not only my foot, but my life as well and I’d like this opportunity to publicly thank him. He did not have to take me as a patient because my first surgeon screwed up the surgery so bad, I almost lost my life. Dr. Wakatsuki took me on a patient to fix what the other surgeon did(and not many surgeons would even consider doing just that). Thank you, Dr. Wakatsuki!
