Lisa Nakamoto, MD

My clinical focus is to individualize orthopedic and sports medicine care. I enjoy getting to know my patients and spending time with them to discuss their goals before determining the most appropriate treatment strategy to keep them functional and pain-free. I treat injuries such as ligament and tendon tears, fractures, joint instability, and cartilage damage. I have a particular interest in minimally invasive joint preservation surgeries for the shoulder, elbow, knee, and ankle.

In addition to general gastroenterology, I have a special interest in colon cancer prevention, difficult polypectomy, Endoscopic Mucosal Resection and inflammatory bowel disease.

I believe in doing what is right for each patient. Each patient is the Captain of their own ship. I'm there as an advisor. I explain their options, but ultimately it is the patient's choice which way they want to go. I try to help them make that decision as best I can.
