Dr. Suzuki was highly recommended to me by co-workers, who are also nurses. From my first visit, during and after surgery I felt that I was in the most competent hands! His bedside manner & individualized attention are very reassuring. I’ve recuperated & my knee is amazing!

Very happy with Dr. Suzuki and his staff. He explains everything so well and is so thorough. I ended up having surgery and was very pleased with the outcome. Everything went exactly as he said it would. The follow up is great. I have referred several people to him. The office staff are very pleasant and professional. It’s a very organized office. 5 star for sure!

I was having some knee issues and made an appointment to visit Ventura Orthopedics and the experience was nothing but positive, the bees knees if you will…sorry. Everyone I encountered was courteous, capable and definitely made the whole experience a positive one. Dr. Suzuki was very informative and explained my X-rays and what my issues might be in a very understandable manner. I followed up with booking some physical therapy appointments, which is conveniently located right upstairs. I hope my problem is short term, but I feel fortunate that I found Dr. Suzuki and the staff at Ventura Orthopedics.

Dr. Suzuki has been such a pleasure to work with. It’s really comforting having such a knowledgeable caring doctor. He explains everything thoroughly in “average Joe” terms and is always sure to give you all options. He’s just simply the best.

Dr. Kentaro Suzuki performed my shoulder surgery. I am still in the early healing stage and all seems to be well. I was not familiar with Dr. Suzuki, but leading up to surgery I encountered several unsolicited endorsements from people saying how Great Doctor Suzuki is, and how he’s the Best. At this point in recovery I have no reason to disagree, I feel thankful for having him perform such a delicate and difficult surgery.

Dr. Suzuki is a knowledgeable, friendly, and direct provider. He clearly presented me with options, explained the outcomes, and trusted me, the patient, to take part in my health care decisions. His comforting persona is complimented by his obvious skills as a surgeon. Example: I’ve had my knees injected numerous times, often with great discomfort Dr. Suzuki masterfully did the job so quickly and precisely I wasn’t even aware the needle was inside my knee! Great doctor, great practice. A truly valuable part of Ventura County’s healthcare environment.

Dr. Suzuki is compassionate, professional and has always listen to my concerns. The entire team at Ventura Orthopedics is top notch!

Wonderful staff, friendly and empathetic to my pain threshold. Dr Suzuki is very compassionate and an attentive listener. He has an excellent bed side manner and explained procedures and his reasoning for whether or not he would recommend any of them for me. I would definitely recommend the Ventura Orthopedic Office to Everyone!!
