UofU Patient May 15, 2013
I find Dr. Aoki to be compassionate and knowledgeable. I am glad to have found a surgeon with an expertise in surgical techniques to correct hip impingements.
UofU Patient April 29, 2013I think very highly of Dr. Aoki. He has the best bed side manners of any Dr I have seen.
UofU Patient April 23, 2013I have already recommended the facility and staff to others who need Orthopaedic procedures.
UofU Patient April 22, 2013Dr Aoki is amazing-my surgery went well. He was my second opinion before surgery & he won me over- he found the problem & issues that were causing my pain & was able to give me answers instead of guessing. I never feel that he is rushed & I know that he is busy but he takes time to make sure I understand & that I have all my questions answered.
UofU Patient April 15, 2013Dr. Aoki is a real professional in that he spoke directly to me and my husband, did not talk down to us, and explained my condition and surgery fully, along with drawing a picture of my condition! He was very personable, introducing himself as Steven, not just doctor. He listened to our concerns and gave full answers. He did not seem to be in a hurry and spent time really getting to know me! I felt very attended to, as well as feeling like he totally cared about me, not just my condition, but me as a whole person! This is so key. I teach a class called Patient Education, and he was the best example of what a good healthcare provider is and should be! Thanks so much!!

UofU Patient July 16, 2012Again, the wait time seems excessive. We all have schedules to keep. We have been most appreciative of Dr. Aoki and would definitely use him again, but there must be a way to allow him the time he needs with patients. We have never been to the clinic with
UofU Patient July 02, 2012He is wonderful. I appreciated that he spoke to me as a normal person and was down to earth. His fellow was very nice - diagnosis by fellow had me a little worried but when he showed up and moved forward and knew my problem and was incredibly helpful -
UofU Patient June 12, 2012I feel like the Doctor talked more to the resident about what was going on with me than he did to me. Other than that everything was great.

UofU Patient April 26, 2012Even thought it was late in the day and they were way behind schedule I really appreciated that I didn't feel rushed by the providers (Dr. Aoki, etc.) I feel like if I'd had a half-hour worth of questions (I didn't) they would have taken half-hour to address them!

UofU Patient March 29, 2012Always a good experience once I get to see the doctor. Sometimes I have to reschedule if I can't wait for a long time, but Dr Aoki is worth "some" wait. Very kind and really cares
UofU Patient March 22, 2012I would like to have spent more time discussing possible other causes to my pain. I am not 100% convinced my current pain is not absolutely caused by the hip impingement.
UofU Patient March 01, 2012Dr. Aoki made me feel like a friend, not just a patient. He is very skilled and knowledgable. I think he is a great Surgeon, very good at people skills.

UofU Patient February 02, 2012At the high prices we pay for medical help, a person should be able to see a doctor at the appointed time, as well as not feel like since they are behind they are rushing you along.
UofU Patient January 26, 2012Dr Aoki is one of the most caring doctors I have ever seen!
UofU Patient January 12, 2012Dr. Aoki is the best. He took time to find out how i was doing, how my orthopedic problem was doing, and then he addressed new concerns. He did a physical exam and gave me excellent diagnostic approach to my problem.
UofU Patient January 12, 2012Dr. Aoki is great; I would gladly recommend him to anyone. He is the third surgeon I have seen for my condition and he is the only one I have full confidence in. I wish his schedule permitted me to have my surgery in less than 90 days, however.
