Friendly, professional takes time to listen and evaluate, appropriate waiting time for an appointment and not a long waiting time at the appointment

Dr. Tamai listened to my story of what happened and did a thorough physical examination. He pointed out things on the X-ray that made me understand why I was experiencing so much pain. When he felt it was important to get additional imaging done asap, his staff got the authorization and the schedule right away. I was very impressed by the staff and Dr. Tamai's professionalism and concern about getting the right diagnosis. Very thankful.

Took time to talk and answer my questions. Didn't feel rushed like in some situations with other providers.

Dr Tamai is an excellent doctor. I would not go to anyone else. He is great at explaining what is wrong and how it can be addressed.

After injuring my thumb with an ice auger, I found Dr. Tamai on line and scheduled an appointment. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable and Dr Tamai on time for the visit! He chose the course for my healing that did not include surgery. He listened attentively and had a very good grasp of my injury. I would recommend him to anybody! He went the extra mile by getting me into an MRI within two days and calling me the very next morning with the update and follow up.

I have had knee issues due to a traumatic fall 4 years ago, I saw 4 different Drs in that time, had x rays and an MRI directly after my accident, all I was told was I sprained a muscle in my left knee and most of the left side of my body, given a knee brace and shoved off. Due to having not so great medical insurance I didn’t seek further treatment, until 6 months ago, I saw another local orthopedic and was told I had minimal injury. One day it felt like me calf completely snapped in half, I went to Urgent Care, they gave me a boot, no x rays and a referral for an MRI. Finally i couldn’t take it anymore and I called every orthopedic doctor in Fairbanks, luckily he was the first to be able get me in. His explanation and deep dive into my symptoms and such was so welcoming, I found out that day my right knee was just as bad as my right, everyone else just ignored that problem. So huge thank you to Dr. Tamai for making me not feel like I was crazy and that I actually did have a rather serious injury.

I'm very grateful for both Dr. Tamai and Dr
Vermillion. The Ziretta shot in my knee was given yesterday and it is already working. It is so wonderful to get a break from the constant arthritic pain. I'll let you know how long this new to me medicine lasts.
