Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Excellent in explaining my diagnosis and options.

It was first visit, therefore the information we were receiving was quite alarming. With discussion and questions, we asked, we felt a little rushed. The doctor was thorough for sure!!! The doctor had little personality, which is important to us, but we considered he was referred to me by my primary doctor and physical therapist, he has to be good!

2x bad experience
I've been in his office 2x and each time the same experience. I waited 1 hour and 47 minutes a year ago and yesterday 1 hour and 36 minutes in exam room for him to come in and talk to me.After him discovering massive amounts of bone spurs on my spine, I did the physical therapy he told me to do, worked on my own muscle building on my own, returned almost a year later to find he still has no ideas how to help me now that my back has gotten worse for me, only recommended to go to pain management office. His people skills are lacking, he & his office don't value anyone's time, he has no solutions. I felt hopeless leaving his office and told him so, no response!Save your time and money and go to a doctor that has different priorities.

Dr Hwang, Scott, Mica and all were great. Had a double fusion L3,4,5 with front and back entry in Feb 2019. After six months I was back on the golf course. Today, at 70, I play three times a week and hit 240 yard drives, sometimes in the fairway. Wish I had done it years before.

Dr. Hwang was fantastic throughout my entire process from diagnosis to surgery, recovery, physical therapy and complete recovery. The PA, Scott Anderson was extremely helpful throughout the process. I was diagnosed with spinal stenosis and had fusion of L4-L5 in January, 2019. I am fully recovered thanks to excellent doctors, nurses, assistants, physical therapists and everyone else that is involved. The Doctors, Physican Assistant and physical therapists work together during the recovery and rehabilitation to ensure the best potential outcome for the patient. I could not have asked for better treatment

Dr. Hwang is absolutely amazing. Had spinal canal stenosis. Worked on T2-T5. Two vertebrae were actually fused together. Had spinal surgery on Thurs. 3 days later I was actually walking (poorly, but independently) without the walker. Most pain completely gone. Been 7 days now. Feel progressively better every day. Followup, both by Dr. Hwang and his PA, Scott Anderson, has been outstanding. Mica went out of her way to handle scheduling. Love all you folks!

Dr Hwang did an outstanding job of diagnosing my problem and determining the best course of action. He did a great job using minimally invasive surgery for over 6 1/2 hours to install 2 - 5" rods that each anchor 3 - 4" screws. I had minimal need for pain relief pills and I'm fully recovered within 6 months. He has a great PA, Scott Anderson as well as other wonderful supporting staff. I highly recommend him. Both my wife and I have used this practice for leg operations as well. All are first rate.
