Fantastic for many reasons. Surgery in the Kuakini hospital by Dr Reid Hoshide. His recommended PT & OT on same property was convenient. 20 skilled nursing days were perfect to reenter my life. If your back, cervical pain just won't stop, l👀k up Dr. Hoshide and get a dependable 1st or 2nd opinion. My nurses were so ready to help. My 4 star is a 4.8!
