Adventist Health Castle

Of course The Best! Had a knee replacement at the end of last year and rehabilitation, now that knee is stronger than all my body parts (joke) no pain, I even forget which knee it was, except for the scar. So very glad I had it done! Total 1000% Trust! Thank you Dr. Rasmussen!

Total focus on the patient in a positive and caring manner. Skillful as well as she corrected a previous knee replacement and her work has given me stability and freedom of walking again. It was my lucky day I found her. Knees and post operative recuperation are not easy but with this physician she...

Dad is 93 and had a hip replacement. Within 3 months he is back to normal......almost 100%, I am sure in another few months it will be 100%. he was in good condition to start with. Dr. Rasmussen made him feel comfortable throughout the procedure and recovery, I would recommend her to anyone at any...

Before visiting Kailua in December 2019, I knew I would need a total hip replacement when I returned home. When COVID-19 hit, I extended my time in Hawai'i and my hip continued to worsen. I found Dr. Linda Rasmussen online and read several positive reviews, which impressed me. My first visit with...

I was lucky to be able to have my right hip surgery done before the corvid-19 stopped all elective surgery. Dr. Rasmussen explained to me the condition of my left hip and what she could do to improve my quality of life. She explained the procedure in a way I could understand. Her staff was very...

A patient, kind, listener which is rare in a physician now. Very thorough and while sticking to the guidelines and standards of care she also ensures my care is individualized. The office is well organized, efficient and clean. Dr Mc Carthy is the best PCP I have ever had

remarkably unremarkable

Love love love Dr. JP Clark. I wish I wasn’t done having babies, just because he took phenomenal care of me during my pregnancy. Listen to every concern and answered every question. Highly highly recommended. 10/10!

Dr. Chung and his staff are great. I came to his office on a recommendation. My dad was very ill with kidney, diabetes, and various other issues. Although my dad is a very difficult patient, Dr. Chung rose to the occasion helping my dad get his sugar under control as well as paying careful...

I wish I could leave NO stars for likelihood of recommending Dr. Magliulo. I was sick and found out I was negative for influenza and corona virus. But yet he diagnosed me with influenza and in his report said I was improving on my own. But I wasn’t improving on my own. He didn’t even call to ask if...

Unreliable, doesn’t follow up.

I am thrilled to have found Dr. Rasmussen in Kailua. Mind you, I live in Nanakuli. I have been suffering from hip problems for years. Too stubborn to seek any help and just suffered day to day for years. I finally decided to seek professional help and found Dr. Linda Rasmussen on Healthgrades and...

Dr. Rasmussen replaced my right hip in Jan. and left hip in March. Dr. Rasmussen is very caring and thoroughly explains what will be done, even showing you all x-rays taken. She is a Excellent surgeon and good staff in her office and Castle Hospital. No PT was required as you do your exercises...

Excellent communicator with abundant experience - I had a rt hip replacement and it was flawless! Great staff with her at Castle Hospital and wonderful follow-up!

I had a left hip replacement done at the end of January 2020. The surgery was done at Adventist Health Castle and recovery done at Rehab of the Pacific for one week. Both experiences were excellent. The doctors, nurses and staff were very caring and helpful. Prior to that I had my right hip done...

I've been seeing Dr McCarthy for 3 years now and I would recommend her to friends & family. She has be thorough with my exams, listens, and understands my concerns with empathy. What has been helpful to me is she'll categorize what my scattered issues are and address each of them with my personal...

Dr. Panetta was generally concerned with my wellbeing and gave thorough medical advice about my condition. He was patient and made me feel comfortable about all procedures I would be going through. He is extremely knowledgeable in his field and I highly recommend him.

Excellent surgery was done. Great service during follow-up exams.

I had knee replacement surgery by Dr. Rasmussen at Castle Medical Center in January and am very pleased with the results. The pain after surgery was manageable but is still at Level 2 after a month and a half. The month of post operation physical therapy helped a lot and assisted my recovery, and...

Dr. Matsukawa is marvelous. The office employees really need to learn some better communication skills. They are friendly and nice and pleasant. And provide the WRONG information. This has happened more than once with me. It's just not enough to be courteous and friendly. Accuracy should be a...

My mother has been a patient of Dr. Naai for awhile and we find him to be a very caring doctor. He ALWAYS take the time to listen to our concerns and patiently address every question we may regarding my mother's care. More importantly, my mother is very comfortable with Dr. Naai and has nothing...

Listens to all my concerns and makes me feel at ease

Save my life couple years ago after few painful days in queens hospital He discovered that I had pneumonia proscribed me antibiotics felt relief in matters of hours He’s my personal doctor since Mahalo nui loa ??

I left the island to care for my mom in NC. While I was away, Dr Matsakaka changed offices. While he was my doctor, I was very Very satisfied with him. I will now become one of his patients again!! ! He is a great doctor!

Dr. Rasmussen is the most compassionate doctor I have ever met. She explains every procedure thoroughly and takes the time to answer all your questions. We flew from Maui to Oahu so my husband could have her perform the surgery for his knee replacement. She even sent him flowers in the hospital. I...

Dr. Miscovich is a wonderful doctor who is sincere and caring. He listens and never makes it seem like he is in a rush. Even though his office might be full, Dr. Miscovich and his staff are patient, professional and kind. You might find their phone rings and not a quick pick up. Just call back. They...

I had total knee replacement surgery last month and i'm doing fabulous. Dr. Rasmussen and her team at Castle Hospital were fantastic. I'm a big person that worried I wouldn't be able to have the surgery because I was too fat but Dr. Rasmussen took me on. We scheduled surgery at my first...

I've had two experiences with Dr. Rasmussen; one in 2017 for left hip and in 2020 for right hip replacement. She continues to be an excellent orthopedic surgeon, however, I could not recommend her office staff for their efficiency, helpfulness or accuracy. Sharon, her Surgical Coordinator, never -...

Very knowledgeable and honest. He was assigned to me by Castle Medical Center, where I went to ER and he was able to diagnose me correctly and help me avoid surgery. He has a great bedside manner. Very kind and humble. He asked very intelligent questions and really listened to me. I wish I could...

I've been seeing Dr. McCarthy since she began her practice in Kailua. I found her to be extremely professional and was surprised that she was willing to spend as much time as needed with my issues. She is a great listener and was very informative when explaining the different medications available...

Had some blood in my urine. Dr. Peers was extremely friendly and explained my situation and options extensively; and then immediately diagnosed my condition with a cystoscopy. Everyone at the office, including Dr. Peers, demonstrated a very high level of both professionalism and friendliness. I have...

If you have elderly parents do not allow them to go to this dr. This dr along with his staff are unprofessional and have no caring bone in their body. My father had lung cancer and it was extremely difficult to get a hold of this dr my mother would leave message after message with no return she...

Very competent and knowledgeable doctor. Good bedside manner. Of course, would recommend him always. Easy to make appointment. Very trustworthy. 5 star doctor.

Dr. Thomas was one of a group of doctors who treated me during a recent stay at Castle Adventist. Thanks to him, he diagnosed my infection timely and I was immediately put on antibiotics. I must have felt better because I told him I was eyeing his iced coffee.

Dr. Cole was one of a group of physicians treating me during an emergency visit. He visited daily, gave us updates and explained everything in simple terms. He was always pleasant and cordial with a smile and left with one.....I am grateful to him and the team that helped me!

I had a partial knee replacement by Dr. Rasmussen three months ago. Eight months ago I searched for an orthopedic knee surgeon prior to moving here from the mainland and found Dr. Rasmussen. Having worked for over forty years in healthcare, I am very particular when it comes to doctors and...

He was a pretty good urologist but he has retired.

The best experience since I became a senior. He made me look decades younger. When you meet him you will feel the confidence and trust I had. I have had several procedures and each one left me with no scars as well.

The visits are always so upbeat and leave there feeling great. The staff and Dr. Bao Phan are so confident and genuinely sweet and understanding. Ive had many procedures and love the fact that it looks so natural and with no scars.

Great doctor. He is easy to talk to and knows his stuff. I appreciate the care he gives

He listens and observes his patient. He has been my doctor since 1984. He guides but cares what your health goals are. He is a hardworking doctor and I know from experience that he cares when his patient is in pain or sick. I am so happy that I called his office in 1984. I am sure my generally good...

I had both knees replaced over four years ago by Dr. Rasmussen. I have had no problems when before the surgery I couldn't be on my feet for more than 15 minutes. Dr. Rasmussen is a caring wonderful doctor. Plus she will help you when other doctors won't because you are overweight or obese like...

Dr. Linda Rasmussen performed two hip replacement revision surgeries on my husband who suffered agonizing pain for over a year after his original bilateral hip replacement by another doctor. Dr. Rasmussen is competent and thorough; and is a "no-nonsense" professional who exhibits the highest level...

Very difficult to get in touch with the doctor. Her staff also makes mistakes. Dr. McCarthy seems to be a very good doctor but there are problems with the process she has.

I’m four weeks post-op of a right total hip replacement, and doing well! I thank Dr. Rasmussen for healing me from tremendous pain (literally gasping when walking). During my first visit, she immediately understood my concerns; xrays (conveniently done in her office) confirmed the “bone-on-bone”...

Dr. Canyon is a wonderful physician. I have been looking for a new PCP and her office quickly scheduled me in. The office was comfortable and inviting - the front office manager Pi'i was incredibly friendly and very helpful. My appointment was on time and Dr. Canyon was a joy to meet. She answered...

Dr. Phan and his crew are second to none. From pre-op to post-op, they really take care of you. The facility is immaculate and located on the top floor of the building. The operating room is stunning with breathtaking views of the city. I am happy I decided to choose Dr. Phan for this procedure and...

I finally had knee replacement surgery July 1st of this year. I had put this off for a long time. My wife and I have 3 acres on the Big Island. Not being able to maintain our property because of my knee pain was the reason I decide to contact Doctor Rasmussen’s office to schedule an appointment. ...

Excellent visit! He’s one of the best doctors that I’ve ever been treated by! He’s thorough and empathetic with my condition. Yes, I would recommend him to anyone needing a neurologist.

Informative, Communicative. As my PCP, she has sought to refer me to the specialists and programs that oversee and help my special health needs. Very responsive to my questions regarding my health and shows great concern for my overall health and well being. Highly recommend!

I am so grateful to Dr. Jao. He helped me resolve serious gastrointestinal pain in ways that have resulted in much improved physical and mental well being. His insights and encouragement both helped treat the physiological dimensions of my situation and also helped me learn things I could do to...

I am 63 years old and an avid golfer. I thought I pulled my left adductor, but was told I needed a hip replacement. Of course I was a bit nervous about the procedure, but I wanted to end the on going pain and get back to the sport I love. One month and 3 days ago I had the surgery at Castle...

Dr. Liow was incredibly professional and is very dedicated to seeing that my health improves. Strongly recommend him.

I went to Dr Phan for a neck lift and also added a chemical peel. I am pleased with the results. I went from hating photos, refusing to do face time, and trying to hide my neck to loving the way I look. Dr Phan has his own accredited surgical suite. His follow-up is excellent. I highly recommend...

Excellent OBGYN! I am so thankful to have found Dr. Stickley! She provided the most exceptional care for me during my pregnancy. I am sure I would have needed a c-section if it wasn't for her patience and encouragement during my long labor! She is the absolute best! I love her office staff, they...

I recently moved to Hawaii from CA .. and needed to see a doctor about my stomach. I found Dr. Jao thru my insurance company and made an appointment with him. I found him to be a very kind, soft spoken, gentle man. The procedure he recommended was new to me however, he immediately put me at ease...

Mahalo to all of u for caring spirit See ya again

Was very informative.

The women in this office have been telling me that somebody would call me back in a day or two, for 3 weeks now. I’m not sure what’s going on at their office or why nobody ever calls me back, but there are other doctors in Hilo who don’t treat patients so badly like they do at Dr. Stickley’s office....

I love Dr. Stickley. She is thorough, wholistic and personable. I am not happy with any of her office support staff. Though the receptionist is freindly, the nurse is not friendly, personable, and appears to not be committed to her work. I called for 3 weeks trying to get test results. The...

She saves my husbands life! He had terrible back ache and did not have a PCP and had gone to several urgent care places. They xrayed and gave anti inflammatory. To get an MRI the insurance company requested he had to get a PCP. He saw Dr McCarthy on a Monday, Tue MRI, Wedn MRI w contrast, Thurs full...

So grateful for Dr. Sony Wong and his caring staff. He was very good and explained everything very thoroughly. Would highly recommend him to my friends and family.

explained everything clearly and experience was good. No pain with the procedure

Everybody in the office is really nice, helpful,and on it with helping out with my cardiac situation. Very pleased

Dr Rasmussen has given my 75 year young mother a life of pain free walking! Shes had 2 total knee replacement surgeries and is doing great!

Don't be fooled by his nice smile and calm personality.

Very kind and compassionate. Speaks understandably. Would highly recommend. Great guy

Great Experience

Dr Wong is a great doctor

calming and highly knowledgeable

Excellent interventional cardiologist. Very thorough and conscientious. Great staff.

Dr Au has corrected my hammertoes, and now my toes look normal. She is a very pleasant doctor . I’ve been to see her twice and have been very happy with her. I will continue to see her.

I'm so happy I had my hip replacment Dr. Linda Rasmussen is the best!

Great Doctor! She was very kind and informative.

I’ve been with Dr. Jao for about 10 years, best news at my last appointment, “My fatty liver was gone.” My ultra sound found no traces of fatty liver. Sounds like a very long time but Dr. Jao and his Nurse Practitioner, would have to bring back on track with diet and exercise at every appointment....

I recently began to see Dr. McCarthy a few months ago. I realized I need to find a different doctor as she is not at all flexible with her schedule, which I fell a doctor needs to be when it comes to dealing with sick or hurt people. No one can predict when they're going to be I'll or hurt and may...

Excellent experience. Dr. Jao takes time with you and genuinely seems to care. Office staff are super friendly as well. Would give more than 5 stars if I could.

I've procrastinated long enough! I have done so as I know that there is no way that I can do justice to a review of Dr. Rasmussen. For several years, she cared for both my knees that needed replacement. She respected my wishes to delay replacement, never pushing me toward surgery. One day I had...

The office visit was fine. But found there was no follow up--for reports regarding tests, etc. And getting information from staff was virtually impossible. Not happy at all

I developed a femoral hernia while on a plane going to visit family in Hawaii. After 4 days of being very sick, the emergency room at the hospital did a CT scan and showed the hernia. I was very fortunate, I believe, that Dr. Lee was on call. She took very good care of me and my hernia repair and...

He made me feel extremely uncomfortable by grabbing my arm and my knee way too forcefully while talking about sexually intimate details. I got up to leave because I was scared and he made a point to stand in the way of the door so he could finish what he was saying to me. I did not feel at all good...

Dr. Salassa performed a right-hip replacement for me at Kaiser Permanente in Honolulu. She and the entire staff get 5 out of 5. The months-long-preoperative treatment is critical to your success and lack of complications. Various sources told me that Kaiser is the best at this, because your own...

unbelievably fabulous! brilliant surgeon!

Dr. Linda is the best knee surgeon in the state of Hawaii because of her expertise, experience and wonderful personality. I highly recommend anyone who has knee problems to give her a visit. I’m so glad I did. It changed my life. I’m very grateful. Kevin Jakahi, Hilo

He never rushes you and you feel valued. I never have to wait more than 5 or 10 min. He is one of the few that returns calls if necessary. He truly cares about his patients. He was recommended to me by my family when I moved to Hawaii. They have been with him for years.

Very knowledgeable and helpful in the area of migraines.

Very poor listener. I asked him about the recently FDA approved anti-migraine drugs and he didn't really know much about them and consequently refused to prescribe them. IMO, inexcusable for someone calling himself a headache specialist. Very big ego, very poor communicator.

Dr. Phan is an excellent surgeon and a perfectionist. He performed a breast lift on me approximately 3 months ago and I am beyond thrilled with the results. If you want perfection and honesty than he is the one for you. I traveled from Maui to have him do my surgery and the whole process went...

Dr. Crabtree is a very caring plastic surgeon. A humanitarian. Read his bio. http://crabtreeplasticsurgery.com/about-dr-crabtree/ He is one of the VERY few plastic surgeons that take Medicare and Military insurance for breast reduction in Hawaii. My experience with him and his staff for my...

Dr. Chiu operated on my stage 4 head and neck cancer in 2004 and did a superb job as a surgeon. I'm alive and well 15+ years later! She is great with patients.

Dr Rasmussen did my full knee replacement on May 3, 2019. Tomorrow will be 4 weeks post op and I am walking comfortably without a walker or cane - and drive myself to meet friends for lunch today. I have regained my full range of motion. There is still healing going on inside the knee and some on...

After years of contemplation I finally decided to get a blepharoplasty and breast augmentation. When I decided to get both surgeries done, I did an extensive research online for doctors with a good reputation. Dr. Phan had the best reviews so I emailed them and Amber called me back right away to...

I just did a half hour edit with Dr. Robert Jao and needless to say as I need to get Brandy 2 on the beach as Dr. Robert Jao had introverted his suggestions of telling me how beautiful it's here as we do live in the best place, Hawaii? Well I have lived here much longer than he has and although he...

Although Mohs cancer reconstruction surgery isn't one of Dr. Phan's specialties, he worked closely with me to create a strategy that turned my forehead "meteor crater" into a wound site that I can look at without flinching. His staff, Shay & Amber, were also extremely helpful during my treatment.

Started with facials fillers and eased my way into upper eyelid surgery. Very happy with results. Will continue to see Doc for future work.

I first started seeing Dr. Filbeck about 3 years ago. He was the only doctor that just seemed like a regular guy and I really appreciated that. However, twice in the last 4 or 5 months I needed to see him but he was out of town. The last time was due to his father passing away so that is totally...
