Blake Sakata

This was my first workers' comp injury, and honestly, I didn't know what to expect. But my recovery experience at WorkStar in Kapolei was way better than I anticipated. The providers and staff--including the chiropractor and acupuncture team--were caring, easy to talk to, compassionate, friendly, and knowledgeable. They were patient and made the whole process seamless and comfortable. I'd definitely recommend WorkStar to anyone needing rehab care. I really felt taken care of.

WorkStar is a dependable, reliable, and most active in getting their patients better. I’ve been coming to WorkStar for about 15 years and believe me they are just like family. Especially Dr. Carl Hodel. He’s like a father to me and my wife. He’s always about the well-being and safety of all of his patients.

It really helps when I come in, in pain, and the staff greets me with a huge smile, says hello & how was my week. The littlest things helps a long way, especially when the staff remembers patient names, holds conversations about my family & Dog.

I am writing to express my sincere appreciation for the exceptional support you have provided. Your dedication and assistance have been in ensuring with IRM's DOT physical Exams. Your willingness to go above and beyond, especially in booking appointments for IRM's mixer drivers, has not gone unnoticed. Your efforts have made a significant difference, and I am deeply grateful for your commitment and hard work.

Thank you once again for your unwavering support. It is greatly appreciated and will not be forgotten
