Expert Pediatric Orthopedic Care Available on Maui
All Access Ortho Maui (AAOM) is booking pediatric orthopedic consultations with Dr. Byron Izuka, M.D., an O‘ahu-based, board- certified pediatric surgeon with more than 20 years experience
in the field. Dr.Izuka will visit AAOM on the third Thursday of each month.
Dr. Izuka is a UH JABSOM Associate Clinical Professor who sees patients of all ages, with particular expertise in orthopedic problems for newborns, infants, children and adolescents. This is good news for island keiki, as what is done for adults may not be effective or even necessary for children.
“Children are not just little adults, and they often cannot be treated in the same way,” says Dr. Izuka.
He has developed several novel treatments for fractures in children with numerous presentations, publications and research awards to his credit. In addition to surgery, he has particular expertise in non-operative treatment methods and has developed new ways of treating common fractures of the wrist, elbow and leg in children.
“For the best care possible, children need pediatricians and specialists with pediatric training,” says AAOM’s founder, Dr. Gary “Kiki” Takashiro Blum M.D.
To schedule a consultation with Dr. Byron Izuka call AAOM at (808) 727-8410.
