In his research, Hirose is interested in improving patient outcomes after surgery.

    The video visit was exceptional. Dr. Hirose was very cordial and sympathetic to our concerns. His explanations were thorough, and his assessment was honest and straightforward. Very impressive. We were comfortable with Dr. Hirose to the point we felt like we could just discuss all aspects of the proposed surgery. To that point, we are moving forward with my surgery and are trusting my health in the very capable hands of Dr. Hirose and his medical team.

    Not sure this was the place to address follow up care. I got a call later from a nurse about pre-op but not much info about after care other than I will have someone with me to take me home etc.
