Dr. Ota

"Dr. Ota was very attentive to my concerns. He gave me thorough explanations of all instructions and in answering questions. He also has a wonderful, caring and knowledgable ancillary staff. I feel very confident about the care I received from Dr. Ota and his team.

Also, although he was not my attending physician post-op, he did visit me several times during my inpatient stay, which was very reassuring!"
