I enthusiastically recommend anyone that needs joint care to immediately make an appointment with Dr. Kane. He diagnosed the problem, that two other orthopedics missed. He performed a surgery that gave me back my ability to walk normally once again. He recently did my other side with the same results. His staff, Wendy and Jane are fantastic and I have never waited more than 10 minutes to see him for an appointment.

Well treated and my knee difficulty was explained clearly. Doctor and I both surf, so we swapped stories and had a few laughs together.
Would/will recommend to friends.

Dr. Kane, Jane and Wendy immediately put me at ease. I was apprehensive to find out what was giving me pain. They all were friendly and professional, yet kind and caring. Dr. Kane was like a breath of fresh air. Most doctors are professional but intimidating and lacking warmth. I felt like I knew Dr. Kane for years. It's odd to say, but this was a most enjoyable Doctor's visit.

Thomas Kane, is very likeable.. Great personality and staff. I had tendon come loose and he fixed them. 5 star.
The cartilage on my right need he suggested we work on. it was perfectly fine before the tendons came loose. It did not have to be done, but people who act as their own doctor have a fool for a patient, so I let him do the job.
My right has been hurting for years now. My right leg seems different. I now have to use a cane after seeing Dr. Kane. Is that why he has the name.. on right knee 1 star.
Using a cane has changed my life dramatically. I used to walk fast. Now hobble along after the operation that was questionable as it was not a problem before, Dr.Kane.

Dr Kane’s surgical skills and care for his patients is renowned even outside of Hawaii, and every person on his staff is top notch. You will be welcomed warmly when you arrive at Kane Institute at Queens. There’s never a crowd or long when we’re there. There are magazine covers and plaques for awards he has won in the spacious and comfortable waiting room and there’s almost always some kind of seasonal decoration to make it feel even more welcoming.
Although famous and top rated, Dr Kane is a relaxed and cordial person who gets to the heart of what each patient needs, explains simply and clearly what’s needed and welcomes any questions we might have. You would be given copies of all that transpired and any recommendations as well, and set up any further visits that are needed. Reminders of visits are always given by phone, text or email and are available on the My Chart Queens portal.
Dr Kane and his surgical staff at Queens are incredible. From the grandma in the family who needed knee surgeries to the grandson who was injured in a surf accident, he knows just how to relate to each and make the experience as comfortable and efficient as possible.
Top notch surgery sometime can cost more but we’ve saved for that over the years and are willing to pay more for the incredible service and ease we are provided at Kane Institute.

Always wonderful. Tom listens. I also forgot to thank Tom for his letter when I was in a dark place a few years ago. My goal is to walk without a cane I need a boot camp type therapist. I also ask for dental antibiotics from Longs 1030 King St

Dr Kane’s staff and nurses gave great attention to every detail of my first visit. They were authentically caring, on time and very helpful. Dr Kane was very professional, caring and had a great sense of humor. He was honest yet compassionate and understood my fears. I feel 100% confident that I chose the perfect doctor to do my knee replacement next month

It was a great pleasure to meet Dr. Kane and Wendy. I thoroughly appreciated and enjoyed my first time office visit with them. Dr Thomas simply explained everything to me using my X-rays and his own drawings of his course of recommendations to treat my knee. I understood everything said and strongly agreed with his plan of action. He didn’t rush or talked fast as if to hurry me out of the office. He is very patient, eager to hear what I had to say and approached me with great concern.
All the reviews I read of Dr Kane are true, which is why I needed to see him. My medical coverage plan is not of Queen’s. Thank-you Dr Kane and Wendy for your genuine concern and professionalism. You bet I’ll be back if my knee acts up again.
