Since childhood, Peter A. Matsuura, M.D. has wanted to be the kind of doctor who cares for his patients as if they were family. At his orthopedic practice in Hilo, HI, he and the rest of his team know that means offering more than just quality treatment for broken bones and sports injuries. It also means giving patients many different ways to stay in touch, and putting a major emphasis on customer service. Quite simply, they know that orthopedic medicine is at least as much about the individual as it is about the injury.

Here are just a few ways this doctor and his team of medical professionals stand out:

• Communication: Phones are by no means the only way people stay in contact these days. That’s why this orthopedic practice also offers email access and a secure online messaging system for patients.

• Comfortable Waiting Area: The nature of orthopedic medicine means a patient sometimes needs emergency care. In the off chance that a scheduled appointment is interrupted by a more urgent situation, patients can relax in a comfortable waiting area. Stocked with a variety of magazines and offering free Wi-Fi, the waiting room is designed with patient comfort in mind.

• Educational Resources: Dr. Matsuura and his staff believe in keeping their patients informed, so they offer a library of educational resources on their website. By helping patients better understand orthopedic medicine, they keep them in the loop regarding their treatment.
