Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Several years ago I had left elbow surgery performed by Dr. Kana. He could not have been more professional and helpful from the beginning to the end of surgery and treatments. Now I am having problems with my left knee and he once again has exceeded my expectations of him. He was treated me with injections and is extremely interested in their results and what the next protocol treatment maybe in store to help my problem. Surgery maybe in my future, but I feel like I am in great hands with Dr. Kana. I highly recommend him. Gary Johnson

I appreciated how he listened to me and answered all questions thoroughly. He also talked of supplements to assist me, instead of drugs only. That earns a lot of respect for me. Dr. Kana presented several options, and explained each thoroughly, so I felt very confident in him, and in the decision I chose. I also appreciated the notes given to me at the end, so I could remember everything we discussed. Very impressive! Click to Copy

Dr. Kana performed a rotator cuff repair for me one week ago. My progress is remarkable and I’m not taking any pain meds whatsoever. He’s the best in the area for this type of surgery.

Dr Kana recommended a Durolane injection to help with knee pain. Since steroid injections last a short time, but the Durolane injection works for six months it’s a preferable option for my knee condition. Follow up is in one month to check on the progress made.

Dr. Kana did both my knees in 2018. He did a fantastic job. I couldn't go up and down steps without tremendous pain. Now I can go up and down with ease. I am back exercising which I wasn't able to do. I am very satisfied, I feel like I have a new lease on life as far as getting around.

At 22 I have already had 3 knee surgeries, Dr. Kana doing the last 2. I feel absolutely confident in the work he has done and know that he has given me the best possible quality of life after these surgeries. I am thankful for a doctor that I am able to return to with just the slightest worry or question.
