UofU Patient
July 11, 2019
The whole episode of care was excellent, including mri and knee surgery and the staff related to those visits - I felt like a VIP. On more than one occasion Dr. Aoki and his staff went out of their way to answer extensive questions by me and put me at ease.

UofU Patient
July 09, 2019
Dr. Aoki is awesome, and so has been everyone of his staff that I've worked with.

UofU Patient
July 07, 2019
Dr. Aioli did an amazing job of explaining what our son's issues were in a way that we understood. We left his office feeling knowledgeable both about the issue and treatment plan for our son. We feel completely confident in receiving care from Dr. Aioki.

UofU Patient
July 06, 2019
I give Aoki an A+

UofU Patient
June 29, 2019
Dr Aoki was great. He had compassion and the confidence of diagnosing my condition. We also made a follow up plan.

UofU Patient
June 27, 2019
Visit felt very rushed, and I didn't feel like I had an opportunity to ask questions.

UofU Patient
June 23, 2019
I did briefly see Dr Aoki, but the majority of time was spent with Alex Dukas, Dr Aoki's fellow.

UofU Patient
June 05, 2019
Dr Aoki never rushes and makes sure we understand the plan for treatment.

UofU Patient
May 27, 2019
Dr. Aoki spent time to answer my questions. He was very thorough and didn't seem rushed.

UofU Patient
May 10, 2019
Dr. Aoki has the best bedside manner and is brilliant. So happy he took care of me. He also did my daughter's hip surgery and he is absolutely amazing. Can't say enough good things about him.

UofU Patient
May 05, 2019
I was so happy about Dr Ayoki seeing the tear in my hip, I didn't realize until we had left that the additional issue of the bursa was not discussed

UofU Patient
May 05, 2019
Dr Aoki is extremely friendly and knowledgeable. such a great Doctor.

UofU Patient
April 17, 2019
the entire staff was amazing

UofU Patient
April 16, 2019
I know Dr. Aoki is extremely busy and was scheduled far out for appointments when I made mine. Regardless, he was thorough and spent ample time with me explaining and answering questions. I have never been more impressed by a doctor's willingness to spend time with me. Not once did he make me feel like he was talking down to me or irritated by numerous questions. He genuinely made me feel that he cared about my well being and my level of understanding.

UofU Patient
April 12, 2019
dr aoki was great

UofU Patient
March 23, 2019
the wait time of over an hour past the scheduled appointment was unacceptable - it was a scheduled appointment so I do not expect to wait that long past the original timeI pulled my daughter out of school and myself out of work to arrive on time only to wait

UofU Patient
March 07, 2019
Dr. Aoki is FANTASTIC! I seriously cannot thank him enough or give him all the praises he deserves. He is truly a talented doctor/surgeon. I'm so sad I only have one more appointment with him for my one year follow-up because I truly have enjoyed each appointment. The U is incredibly lucky to have him, and I was lucky to be treated by him.

UofU Patient
March 04, 2019
There is no other doctor I would see for my problems. Dr. Aoki is always so kind and helpful and takes the time to talk out my options.

UofU Patient
March 02, 2019
We love Doctor Aoki. He always shows a high level of concern and is willing to do whatever it takes to help.

UofU Patient
February 27, 2019
I always recommend Dr Aoki. He is fabulous with my children and I trust him completely.

UofU Patient

too long of wait; all else awesome

UofU Patient

Highly recommend Dr Aoki to any patient requiring hip or knee surgery. He is fantastic and truly cares about his patients. Can't say enough good about him.

UofU Patient
February 04, 2019
super long wait for minutes with the md

UofU Patient
January 22, 2019
At no time did we ever feel anything less than the number one patient of all care providers throughout this surgical experience. We never felt rushed, or like we were annoying the care providers at any time. All questions were answered very clearly, thoroughly, and with a sincere level of ____'s best interest in mind. Kudos to the entire staff!

UofU Patient
January 20, 2019
Dr. Aoki is the best, he truly cares about you and your outcome.

UofU Patient

Dr. Aoki is wonderful!

UofU Patient
January 15, 2019
Dr. Aoki is very knowledgeable and personable. I am happy to have him as my care provider.

UofU Patient
January 12, 2019
The doctor and staff were great. The only downside was the long wait to see the doctor.

UofU Patient
January 11, 2019
The first doctor (not Dr. Aoki but another doctor working with him) that came in took a history but it didn't seem like Dr. Aoki got the all the needed information. Dr. Aoki was highly recommended, but his explanation of our daughter's hip problem left us with more questions than answers. He asked us if we'd tried basic remedies such as icing and giving anti inflamatory medication for her unjury which seemed silly because we'd told the first doctor ALL the things we'd tried to address the problem over the last three months before coming to meet with a specialist, and all the information was also in her chart. We didn't feel listened to or informed as we would have liked to have been at the end of the appointment.

UofU Patient
December 27, 2018
Dr. Aoki is extremely competent. One of the best physicians I have ever encountered.

UofU Patient
December 25, 2018
Dr. Aoki cheerfully answered all of my questions. His instructions for post-op activities were very clear.

UofU Patient
October 24, 2018
Dr. Aoki is amazing. This is the second time we have worked with him and feel fortunate he is a care provider in our community.

UofU Patient
October 23, 2018
I came back to Dr. Aoki for a reason, which all translate as him being a Star...and in my opinion, the best I found among over a dozen that I have visited with in reference to my conditions.

UofU Patient
October 18, 2018
Dr.Aoki was absolutely amazing. He listened to my issues and was very upfront about my condition and what needed to be done.

UofU Patient
October 17, 2018
we are very pleased with the care and treatment of Dr Aoki.

UofU Patient
October 13, 2018
he seemed much nicer this time vs last time. he didn't talk much and the visit was very fast but I feel that it's because it's watch and see. he said to bring him back in a year unless a huge problem. I totally understand that because he's young. my first visit the doc made me feel I was overacting but this time, he was very nice and agreed that he needs to be watched

UofU Patient
September 28, 2018
Dr. Aoki was very patient with Sebastian's questions, my questions, and even listened to Sebastian tell him a few stories

UofU Patient
September 17, 2018
Dr. Aoki is very professional and good at his job. He was to the point and helped me out. The outcome of my two surgeries seams great (still early as far as the end result). A bit gun shy on prescribing meds after surgery. Still tried to be helpful.

UofU Patient
September 09, 2018
my daughter really like Aoki and the time he took with her to go over the issue.

UofU Patient
September 05, 2018
the wait was only issue

UofU Patient
August 25, 2018
awesome in every way

UofU Patient
August 23, 2018
dr. Aoki is the best. thank you to him for all he does to get me to where I want to be, health wise.

UofU Patient
August 19, 2018
This was my first encounter with Dr Aoki. What a wonderful and caring man and Physician!! For the first time since December 2016 I feel validated for this problem and actually very hopeful that he can help me! He explained the options, the first one an injection into the hip, which we did. Unfortunately, it has not made much of a difference. I decided to schedule surgery on October 5. Dr Aoki was very good at addressing any concerns and questions I had, right down to recovery time. I could tell he cared, and never made me feel like he was in a hurry to get to the next patient. I appreciated that very much. It's nice to feel like you are not just a Number on a Surgeons busy schedule! Thank you very much, Dr Aoki!!

UofU Patient
August 19, 2018
From seeing Dr.Stephen Aoki as a provider multiple times it's been the same great experience. I wouldn't have chosen a different doctor to have for my orthopedic needs!

UofU Patient
August 18, 2018
I feel fortunate to have Dr. Aoki as my surgeon. He provided superior care and his surgical team treated me well throughout my encounter.

UofU Patient
July 21, 2018
dr. Aoki is awesome, he makes me feel like I'm the only one he cares about, he has a way about his cares that makes in feel that he can make what's wrong with you better again.

UofU Patient
July 19, 2018
This visit gave me less confidence in Dr. Aoki since we traveled a long way to see him and it did not feel like he was very certain about what has been causing my continued hip pain, and he didn't seem to spend much time in the room with me (no more than 20 minutes). I really want to trust that he is doing his best but it was discouraging to have him send me away with no new answers after spending such a short time examining me.

UofU Patient
July 14, 2018
I've seen several orthopedic surgeons and all of them have been horrible to deal with so my expectations were not high. Dr. Aoki was amazing. He treated me like he was treating a family member. It was one of the best experiences I've ever had with a specialist.

UofU Patient
July 14, 2018
good

UofU Patient
July 01, 2018

UofU Patient
June 05, 2018
Very pleased to have Dr. Aoki come in an exam me and visit about my problem, instead of having the p/a or n/p come in only

UofU Patient
May 24, 2018
I love Dr. Aoki, he is the best.

UofU Patient
May 20, 2018
Dr. Aoki is the best surgeon I have ever met. he is kind, caring and conscientious; he truly wants to makes sure that you have all of the information so that you can make the best informed decision for your case. he doesn't want to do a surgery for surgeries sake; it is VERY refreshing to have a surgeon looking after the patient who stands by the do No harm and cares about you as a person, not just a medical case.

UofU Patient
May 20, 2018
Dr. Aoki is kind and pleasant to work with. He answered all of my questions, let me see the X-rays to see the difference in my hip, and gave me strategies to continue to improve my strength and flexibility.

UofU Patient
May 10, 2018
Loved Dr. Aoki! He is professional, knowledgeable and caring.

UofU Patient
May 06, 2018

UofU Patient
April 21, 2018
We were all (mom, dad, and ______) impressed with how thorough the visit was. We felt like our concerns were addressed, various options were given, and a timely resolution to our problem was given. We also appreciated how we were not pressured into anything with any specific time frame.

UofU Patient
April 18, 2018
Always great and very caring!

UofU Patient
April 17, 2018
Dr. Aoki is the very best doctor I have ever been to and I've seen a lot. He always treats me so well, takes time to hear my concerns and explains everything to me clearly.

UofU Patient
March 29, 2018
Dr. Aoki came highly recommended from my Dr in Idaho and he was everything I was promised. Fantastic bed side manner. Couldn't possibly say enough good things about him.

UofU Patient

Dr. Aoki is supper good. He provides excellent care. I would recommend Dr. Aoki without reservation to my friends and family.

UofU Patient
March 01, 2018
Dr. Aoki was very thorough and recognized immediately he was not the provider for my condition. He referred me to the correct provider and discussed the options based on MRI results.

UofU Patient
February 04, 2018
Dr. Aoki has great bedside manner and I trust him a lot. My only complaint is that I felt rushed because I waited so long and I knew he was behind schedule. He did take time to answer my questions but the total time with him was less than 10 minutes, but I guess with a post op appointment thats all you need?

UofU Patient
February 04, 2018
Dr. Aoki is the best! He is intelligent, compassionate, and genuine. I would recommend him to anyone looking for the very best care possible!

UofU Patient
January 06, 2018
He had a general lack of concern for pain management. I disliked that greatly.

UofU Patient
December 29, 2017
Very friendly and made me feel very safe. Great bedside manner!

UofU Patient
December 28, 2017
We are so pleased with Dr. Aoiki and Reed. They are fantastic medical professionals.

Dr. Aoki was excellent he explained everything well. Also listened to me, he showed concern about things and made recommendations for another specialist to see. It's nice to have a physician that cares about your health.

UofU Patient
December 03, 2017
Amazing DOC!!!

UofU Patient
November 21, 2017
I have had 2 surgeries already and still a good amount of right hip pain. I am concerned we'll find a solution but so far feel comfortable sticking with Dr. Aoki in search of a solution.

UofU Patient
November 20, 2017
Dr. Aoki has an amazing bed-side manner that is incredibly reassuring!

UofU Patient
November 19, 2017
Dr. Aoki is amazing. We have full trust in his abilities & knowledge. Grateful for his explanations & showing us how the hip works. It makes sense now.

UofU Patient
November 17, 2017
Dr Aoki, Reed, Angel, and staff are AMAZING!! Dr. Aoki is sympathetic and truly a gift. After surgery, he was leaving the surgical center at the same time I was trying to get into my vehicle for the long trip home. Dr Aoki could have walked on by, but instead he stopped and helped position me in the vehicle. Ive been to a lot of doctors, but no one like him!!! Dr. Aoki truly cares about his patients. Actions speak louder than words, Dr. Aoki had both going for him! Simply puy, HES AWESOME!!!!

UofU Patient
November 11, 2017

UofU Patient
November 09, 2017
he's a wonderful doctor

UofU Patient
October 22, 2017
As an RN myself, I was blown away by the whole experience from the first interaction in checking in to going to the exam room with the medical assistant to the doctor's exam and explaination of his findings and what he felt like was the best course of action for my particular orthopedic problem. A truly exceptional medical practice.

UofU Patient
October 21, 2017
I love Dr. Aoki, he is fantastic at explaining things in a way you can understand and truely knows his stuff.

UofU Patient
October 18, 2017

October 13, 2017
Dr. Aoki is the commensurate professional - easily blends high levels of expertise with genuine warmth and compassion.

UofU Patient
October 11, 2017
I have had 6 surgeries on my right knee and I learned so much from Dr. Aoki and his trainer. They were truly amazing

UofU Patient
October 09, 2017
Dr.Aoki is worth the wait-high demand because he is so good!

UofU Patient
September 28, 2017
My concerns regarding the health issue I am dealing with were addressed by Dr. Aoki in a thoroughly professional and compassionate manner. I am grateful for the time he took to explain my problem and my options.

UofU Patient
September 26, 2017
Felt like the physician was rushed and explaining information to my 15 year old that was not at a level of her understanding. Minimal interaction with parent, physician was commenting to ATC for documentation but not really involved with patient and parent. As a physical therapist, I was not impressed with the wait and limited time with the provider, although I do have confidence in the providers skills. I feel that an initial appointment should be on time and more extensive. I have no problem waiting for an hour and a half for a provider that I respect and have seen previously and I know that I value their skills. After an hour and a half wait, I don't feel like I can give the provider a fair assessment because of poor scheduling making the parent and patient unhappy prior to ever seeing the provider.

UofU Patient
September 20, 2017
great experience

UofU Patient
September 17, 2017
Dr. Aoki is an exceptional Physician, not to mention an exceptional and caring, but yet modest as a person.

UofU Patient
September 14, 2017
Dr. Aoki shows genuine concern and explains the issue with great clarity. He also shows a genuine interest in doing what is best for me.

UofU Patient
September 09, 2017

UofU Patient
September 05, 2017
Dr. Aoki was very knowledgeable and was able to explain my condition in terms that I was able to understand.

UofU Patient
September 02, 2017
I was surprised how much time dr aoki spent with us and made us feel unrushed for such a busy clinic

UofU Patient
September 02, 2017
Dr. Aoki is always friendly and extremely helpful. He takes the time to answer all of my questions. Reed is very helpful as well and willing to answer questions.

UofU Patient

UofU Patient

Dr. Aoki is exceptional in professionalism, medical acumen, and care!

UofU Patient
July 26, 2017
Dr. Aoki was very professional. I wish he had told us what he was looking for as he bent her knees and such. I appreciate that he didn't just want to jump into surgery, but really wanted to see what the problem was.

UofU Patient
July 01, 2017
Dr Aoki is such a kind good man.

UofU Patient
June 28, 2017
Our experience with Dr. Aoki has been extremely positive. He is so knowledgeable and yet so down-to-earth. Our family has total confidence in his care. We have recommended him to others.

UofU Patient
June 28, 2017
Dr. Aoki is very, very nice!!! He is awesome!!!

UofU Patient
June 26, 2017
Dr. Aoki is incredible. Not only is he the best surgeon at what he does and is obviously very intelligent/knowledgeable, but his bedside manner is wonderful. He really cared about my situation and was so kind and friendly. Reed is awesome, too. He is so willing to answer any questions I email/call him with. They are an awesome team.

UofU Patient
June 24, 2017
I continue coming to Dr Aoki because he knows hips and stays up to date on things, but I've learned that he likes to get through quickly and if I don't really speak up and make him stop and listen to all of your concerns/questions. I've started using MyChart to ask my questions. If I had to choose a dr like Dr Aoki or one who was great listening to all my concerns and taking that time in office, but they weren't as knowledgeable...I'd choose Dr Aoki, but I'd still like him to slow down.

UofU Patient
June 17, 2017
I like Dr. Aoki. Main criticism would be the patient sees the MA, then sports trainer, then MD & also fills out forms. Seems like they allask the same questions--would be good to review things so the patient doesn't have to answer questions over & over.

UofU Patient
June 11, 2017
even though this was a post op follow up visit; the doctor kept saying "this is what we're going to do.." several times. I also couldn't tell what the 2 different x-rays he kept pointed at were - was one from before the surgery and the other the one we took that day?

UofU Patient
May 27, 2017
Dr. Aoki is very, very kind & thoughtful. Never rushed.

UofU Patient
May 22, 2017
I was very impressed with Dr Steven Aoki. The instructions he gave me were reassuring that hip surgery was not needed which was a concern of mine. the last hip surgeon I seen scheduled hip replacement November 2014. I did not feel any type of hip surgery was needed so canceled it after meeting with an orthopedic surgeon in Park City. However the previous hip surgeons report states he was the one who told me surgery was not needed . I'm very grateful to have had the opportunity to have been able to meet with Dr Stephen Aoki.

UofU Patient
May 18, 2017
Dr Aoki usually is thorough and takes time to listen, but the appt he seemed very busy. I scheduled the appt to look at my left knee and he spent more time looking at how my R hip has been doing, which I'm glad he did, but I was there for some possible ideas for my knee. In the end I had to remind him as he was walking out the door that I needed some ideas on my knee. he gave me an answer that made sense and ordered a brace for me after I asked if that was a possibility, but he definitely seemed rushed the whole appt.

UofU Patient
May 17, 2017
We have had the best experience with Dr. Aoki and staff. If questions weren't answered during office visits, support staff(Reed) was always prompt in getting back to us.

UofU Patient
May 17, 2017
Dr. Aoki really takes his time to understand his patient. He also really knows what he is doing and takes pride in his work. This results in top quality care.

UofU Patient
April 30, 2017
We are grateful for Dr. Aoki and his staff!

UofU Patient
April 24, 2017
Dr Aoki exceeded our expectations. Not only did he explain to us what he thought and was going to do for surgery he talk directly to our daughter and really made her less anxious about it. He took his time and was never in a hurry.

UofU Patient
April 10, 2017
even though he was behind, he did not rush his visit, and took his time to make sure she was healing well and getting along okay. I like that in a doctor! Dr. Aoki is great!!

UofU Patient
April 09, 2017
seemed really rushed

UofU Patient
April 08, 2017
have recommended doc Aoki to others, but I do inform them of the long wait times to be expected. I think his expertise and personality make it worth the exceptionally long waiting to be seen

UofU Patient
April 01, 2017
My experience with Dr. Aoki was the best that I have had with a doctor. He was pleasant, kind and courteous. He explained my condition, options, and procedure thoroughly. I only had a few questions at the end because his explanation was so thorough. I appreciate his expertise and experience as well. I am confident that my procedure will go well. His resident was also kind and considerate.

UofU Patient
March 26, 2017
I like the personal touch of Dr. Aoki. He always explains thing very well, and is concerned about me!

UofU Patient
March 23, 2017
Thank you for the kind visit with my children and myself. Although we were running late, they worked us in. The doctor shook hands with each of us, even my 6 year old son. I was very impressed. One of my most memorial doctor visits ever.

UofU Patient
March 05, 2017
Best doctor I've ever had. He was sensitive even as he told me that I need to get a hip replacement.

February 26, 2017

UofU Patient
February 05, 2017
Dr Aoki was very kind, knowledgeable, and willing to answer any/all questions that I had.

UofU Patient
January 26, 2017
dr. aoki goes above and beyond to ensure that he has an adequate understanding of what caused the problem and his ability to share his diagnosis and concerns are done in such a way to ensure patient understanding as well as opening the lines of communication for further questions

UofU Patient
January 09, 2017

I've only met with Dr. Aoki one time and will return on an as needed basis. So time will tell on referrals. In the past, I have referred numerous people to care providers as I have a fairly large following of folks who value my opinion.

UofU Patient

Doc Aoki took time away from his family and other patients to perform a surgery for my son who needed immediate attention. He came in on a day in which he normally doesn't do surgeries to be able to help my son. He is an outstanding doctor and willing to help those in need who really need his help immediately like my 12 year old did. He truly cares about his patients and his profession. Thank you Doc Aoki!

An excellent care provider.One who listens carefully and gives careful thought to his diagnosis.

UofU Patient
October 23, 2016
Dr. Aoki is the best! He is very knowledgable and displays extreme confidence in decision making regarding the best treatment for our son. After only meeting him during a single appointment time, I knew we had brought our son to the right facility for treatment. We are extremely grateful for his talent and compassion. He is our "Angel"! Anticipating along travel home, Dr. Aoki calmed my concerns by personally calling a physician in our home state for follow up. At this time I knew our son would heal. We greatly look forward returning in 2-3 months to see him again. Thank you!!!!

UofU Patient
October 22, 2016
I have a lot of trust in my provider's decisions and I am so sad that my insurance is no longer in network so I can continue to see a provider that I have trusted for years.

Dr. Aoki was so helpful with my hip situation. I learned more from him during this visit than I had with my doctors back home. He was very kind and concerned about what I have going on. Definitely will recommend!

UofU Patient
September 15, 2016
WAS SURPRISED HOW MUCH TIME HE TOOK WITH ME, KNOWING HOW BUSY HE IS. AND I WAS NOT ONE OF HIS NORMAL PATIENTS AND STILL CARE AND SHOWED CONCERN. HE USUALLY SEES 50 AND UNDER, I HAD A INJURY AND AM OVER 50 BUT HE STILL SAW ME.

UofU Patient
September 08, 2016
Dr. Aoki made me feel comfortable as soon as he walked in the room. He took his time explaining and answering questions. I know he has a busy schedule, but he never seemed rushed.

UofU Patient
September 02, 2016
I wish I had spent more time with Dr. Aoki to explain other issues that didn't recall during my visit. It's my fault I didn't bring a sticky note with me.

UofU Patient
August 23, 2016
it would be great if the care provider took the patient's physical abilities and educational background into account so that the precious little time for discussion could be focused and at an appropriate level for the patient's needs.

UofU Patient

Dr. Aoki ROCKS!

UofU Patient

Dr Aoki is "as good as doctors come". He patiently explains his clinical findings, explores the different options available and guides you in making a decision with which you are comfortable.

Dr. Aoki is brilliant and very likeable. I felt very comfortable having him operate on her knee.

UofU Patient
July 18, 2016
I met with Dr. Aoki after having a 45 minute MRI. I had already had about 5-6 X-rays ordered by Dr. Petron, and then Dr. Aoki ordered 5-6 more. I returned to the exam room and met Dr. Aoki immediately after. I do not know how he could have had enough time to review the MRI and the most recent X-rays before he told me my condition was atypical and he wanted me to come back for a cortisone shop. I would like to have more time with Dr. Aoki reviewing my x-rays and MRI.

UofU Patient

UofU Patient

This appointment was like a breath of fresh air. It was refreshing to find a doctor that listens to his patients. Dr. Aoki explains things in a very easy to understand way, and works with me to come up with a plan that best suits my wishes. There are no words that can express how caring Dr. Aoki is with including me in taking care of my health.

UofU Patient
July 04, 2016
I appreciate Dr Aoki's diagnostic skills, his ability to explain the diagnosis and his unhurried manner though I know his schedule is packed with patients. In a busy orthopedic practice Dr Aoki is a valued practitioner. In addition, his athletic trainer, Chelsea Schneider, is an invaluable asset to his practice.

I am very pleased with my consult with Dr. Aoki. He was very thorough - most thorough examination I had for my problem compared to prior orthopedic surgeons. Very kind and listened well to all my concerns and answered my questions. I feel very confident being under his care. His athletic trainers were also very thorough in their explanations of my problem, took the time to go over my CT scan in simple terms while awaiting Dr. Aoki's arrival.

I felt much more confident in the dr after our first visit, but I felt like it was starting all over again at this second visit. It was like we hadn't been there before and like the dr didn't remember us. I feel frustrated with our outcome and with how the appt went. I don't think I would encourage anyone to go to him

UofU Patient

The dr. told me nothing about the medicine prescribed for my son's post-op pain, or why he prescribed it or if there were any other options. Luckily I have a relative I could call who is qualified to walk me through all that, but not everyone has that option.

UofU Patient
January 06, 2016
Dr. Aoki is one of the best doctors of any type our family has ever dealt with. He is kind, caring, clear, thorough in his explanations, takes plenty of time and answers every question, as well as being realistic about recovery and getting back to full health.

UofU Patient

Dr. Aoki was running a little behind, but I didn't mind because once he got to us, he spent as much time as we needed and wasn't hurried or impatient and answered all our question. He was great!

UofU Patient
November 26, 2015
He explained what he thought was wrong currently. But I was confused about what this meant for me going forward.... Would this problem persist? Was there anything I could do to prevent it or fix it?

With the exclusion of 2 other long-term care providers, I have more confidence in Dr. Aoki than any other doctors I've ever seen. His mannerisms, his reputation, and his ability to explain what needs to be done are all three reasons that Dr. Aoki invokes confidence! He is terrific and I am having an amazing recovery!

UofU Patient
August 23, 2015
Dr. Aoki is wonderful!

UofU Patient
August 18, 2015
Dr. Aoki is by far the best Dr I have ever been to hands down. He has always explained everything to me very well and went over all of my options. He has never made me feel like my issues with my hip were insignificant. He has also been very supportive of me getting back to my sport and tries to put himself in my shoes even though he really has no experience with my sport. This makes recovery so much better having a Dr that cares enough to understand.

UofU Patient
August 12, 2015
Over all the appointment was much better then I expected. I understand that this is a learning hospital but I would have preferred to just speak to the Dr. instead have being evaluated by the student first, but under the circumstances and the way the entire visit went it was ok. I left the appointment feeling very about the visit and it eased my mind as to the steps we needed to take next.

UofU Patient
August 10, 2015
Dr Aoki was wonderful throughout my entire experience. I am very grateful he was my doctor. He spent as much time with me as I needed at every appointment, explained things clearly, and obviously cares about his patients. I will highly recommend him always!

UofU Patient

UofU Patient
July 01, 2015
I forgot to ask about having Dr.Aoki tell me about the X-Rays. I had a list of questions I don't think we got through all of them. He was very nice and seemed to know a lot about my condition. He did an exam of how well my joint moved and pushed me but didn't push me to pain. He knew the measurements without the help of a tool which was impressive. It was the best orthopedic appointment I have ever had and I've been to 6 different doctors, 3 different states, and have been going to Orthopaedic doctors for at least 6 years.

UofU Patient

Dr. Aoki opens the door and smiled at me. He knows the level of pain and that I have been suffering for many years. I have seen him several times prior, trying to see if hip revision surgery might be the answer. After exhausting everything else. Dr. Aoki was is not a surgeon with a big ego. He is a humble but very intelligent man. I have done my research on him as I am an investigator. He does 300 FAI surgeries a yr. I had a list of questions,that neither fazed him nor got him irritated as do many doctors do not like you to question them. He spent the time I needed to feel good about my up coming revision fai hip surgery. Please note: Dr. Aoki did NOT do my first one.

Came to discuss findings of my MRI, all he discussed was studies he had read about 20-40 year olds. Rude and condescending.

One of the treatment options that was given to me I did NOT want to pursue, and the staff/Dr. Aoki did not pressure me into changing my mind, I was thankful for that.

Dr. Aoki is a very polite, well-mannered, extremely talented medical doctor who is humble and caring. He must have devoted parents whom nurtured and guided him well in his formative years.

December 04, 2014
I always get a very detailed explanations from Dr. Aoki. He makes sure I understand or he will stay until I do.

UofU Patient
November 22, 2014
I think I understand my options. My complaint is that I was asked if my pain was tolerable. It is obviously tolerable. It is better than it was during the summer, and I have tolerated it up until now. A better question might be whether it is an acceptable level of pain. It isn't. Nor is the limitation on activity. But I was able to schedule an injection which I hope will help, because the pain level is still sufficient to interfere with sleep, and NSAIDS do not remedy that. Hiking, yoga, working with my dogs, and sex are difficult because of pain during and after, so those activities are less enjoyable. So I am hoping the injection will help!

UofU Patient

UofU Patient
August 28, 2014
My boyfriend and I liked Dr. Aoki regarding his manner. Dr. Aoki approach to only doing a revision after further diagnostic injection has been done. Dr. Aoki explanation that he could go in but it is more difficult if not a clearer picture of what is causing pain. Explained hip replacement there is no going back. Dr. Aoki was very humble. Not jumping on doing surgery until further testing which I had already had scheduled from another doctor. Dr. Aoki was very respectful regarding other physician I have seen regarding hip issue. Only huge frustration is Dr. Aoki follow up schedule is so far out. Five weeks until I see him.

UofU Patient
August 25, 2014
Dr. Aoki was one of the best physician's I have worked w/ in regard to my daughter. He went above what I expected, waiting for records, keeping us informed and also explaining things in a way that were easily understood. Exceptional physician.

I have been a registered nurse for 15 years and have worked with many physicians and surgeons. I can honestly say the Dr. Aoki and his staff are very unique! They show my kindness with every single visit, Dr. Aoki never acts as though he is in a hurry (when I know he is a very busy physician), he is extremely knowledgeable, answers ALL of my questions and makes me feel warm, welcome and at ease. The radiology tech's and MA's also provide the same care! They have made this experience amazing! Thank you!

Dr. Aoki is an amazing physician. I struggled for several years with hip pain and was fearful of any surgery. He was very understanding and ensured I understood every part of my surgery and recovery. I am feeling such great relief already, very early out from surgery. I have already recommended him to others!

UofU Patient
June 14, 2014
I would highly recommend Dr. Aoki to anyone and everyone. I was referred to him because I was informed he is the best hip surgeon in Utah. He was on time to the appointment, and he spent a lot of time with me. He explained to me what my condition was through a youtube video, with a model, by showing me my radiology images, and by explaining it to me in simple and clear words. He also provided me with a resource pamphlet so I could read more. He answered my questions completely, and he was extremely courteous. After explaining to me my condition, he asked me what I thought about the treatment he proposed. I really appreciated him asking me about my feelings and honestly caring about them. He promptly set me up with Frankie to arrange a time for surgery, and he followed up with me and my primary care physician over the phone about my condition and the surgery. I feel like he spent plenty of time with me explaining my condition, and I have complete confidence in his abilities and his judgment. I think he is an incredible doctor and an amazing person. I am so glad that I was referred to Dr. Aoki!

I could not say enough great things about Dr. Aoki! He is the best doctor I've ever had. He has a wonderful bedside manner and seems like he legitimately cares about your welfare. He remembers you as a person and not just patient #473. He "fixed" me after I had spent over six months seeing multiple other providers who couldn't give me a reasonable answer. The others just sent me to physical therapy, acting as though there was nothing wrong with me because I was too young to have real hip problems. But Dr. Aoki took my complaints seriously, and diagnosed my problem within 20 minutes of seeing me. I think my favorite thing about Dr. Aoki is his attitude towards my recovery: he had realistic expectations for me and didn't tell me just to quit doing certain activities all together (which other doctors HAVE told me to do). He wanted me to be able to do the things I enjoy and even encouraged it, as long as I feel comfortable. I highly recommend Dr. Aoki!

UofU Patient
June 02, 2014
Dr. Aoki and the Resident Physician that examined my hip first were fantastic. Dr. Aoki is probably one of the best doctors I have had and explains everything so clearly. Even though he is not my knee doctor (Dr. Gordon Kimball referred me to Dr. Aoki for hip surgery), Dr. Aoki took the time to discuss my knee troubles.

I was not satisfied with the explanation that I was given about my condition and what to do about it. No medication was involved. Dr. Aoki seems like a good doctor, I just wish that he would give me more information and guidance.

I came to Dr. Aoki on high recommendations and I was not disappointed. I have recently gotten brushed off from other doctors concerning my knee situation in particular. I came to Dr. Aoki because of my hips but received just as much attention from him on my knees, which was very reassuring. Dr. Aoki far exceeded my expectations and now I have hope that my outlook is brighter than I previously thought. Dr. Aoki, please please continue to treat people like you did me. It makes a HUGE difference to show true concern and spend real time going over things.

Dr. Aoki was amazing. He was patient, thorough and listened to my questions and concerns. I knew I was in good hands when he took out a model of a hip joint and explained both what was normal, and what was different in MY hip that was causing the problems. His recommendations were clear and he seemed genuinely concerned about my issues.

Dr. Aoki is such a great Dr. and person, that it was worth the wait. He comes highly recommended, is very sensitive to my needs and is good about referring me to someone else if he feels another physician is better suited/specialized to care for my needs. I can't remember the name of his resident, but he was very professional as well in his treatment of me and in explaining everything.

Dr. Aoki and his staff were just excellent! Although I never look forward to having surgery, I feel confident in him and his abilities.

Dr 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

Dr. 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!!

Even 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!

At 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.

Dr. 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.

Dr. 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.
