About Island Orthopaedics

At Island Orthopaedics, our mission is to provide accessible, high-quality surgical and non-surgical orthopaedic care for people of all ages across the state.  A part of our mission is also to provide education for tomorrow's orthopaedic surgeon leaders.  In our training to become orthopaedic surgeons, we have spent a considerable amount of time in higher education.  Many of us studied in the University of Hawai'i system and now are faculty in the University of Hawai'i at Mānoa - John A. Burns School of Medicine.  We have all obtained specialized fellowship training at prominent teaching institutions on the mainland, prior to returning to Hawai'i. We provide education service for the residents enrolled in the ACGME-approved University of Hawai'i Orthopaedic Surgery Residency program. In addition, we educate local medical students from the John A. Burns School of Medicine as well as visiting medical students interested in orthopaedic surgery in Hawai'i.  We feel that providing education to the future leaders of orthopaedic surgery in Hawai'i is a significant way for us to give back to the community. As university-affiliated orthopaedic surgeons in Hawai'i, we take on the most challenging orthopaedic cases, including pelvis fractures, revision hip and knee replacements, non-unions, and microvascular replantation. Our ability to take on difficult cases gives us extensive experience that we use in cases that would be considered routine, such as total knee replacements, anterior cruciate ligament injuries, total hip replacements, carpal tunnel releases, arthroscopy, and more. We have experience in the latest techniques including minimally invasive arthroscopy, direct anterior hip approaches, and robotic joint reconstruction.
