I want to express my deepest gratitude to Dr. Choll Kim for his exceptional care during my recent C4-5, C5-6 Disc Replacement surgery. Nineteen years ago, I injured my back in a fall from a fire engine and have since lived with daily pain ranging from 4 to 10 on the pain scale. I tried everything to avoid surgery, but nothing brought relief. The pain, along with a pinched nerve in my neck, caused numbness and severe discomfort in my left arm and fingers.Dr. Kim was highly recommended by two friends who had similar surgeries,... read more
Dr Kim was the 7th spine surgeon I saw regarding my spine. I could not have been happier, not only he works miracles, he really takes care of his patients, he is very meticulous about every aspect of the procedures, his bedside manners are unlike anything I have ever seen in a doctor and I've seen many, his knowledge and determination to change the industry to a minimally invasive procedures should be acknowledged and thought at every med school, and other doctors should learn from him how to be a human being first before be... read more
Dr. Kim performed a disc replacement on my cervical spine. I have been very pleased with the results. I highly recommend him.
Physically, my back was a mess. I was emotionally exhausted. I was scared of living the rest of my life in pain. The pain was horrible and despite years of injections and a prior discectomy, I couldn’t get better. I asked my friend, who is a highly regarded Orthopedic surgeon who he would use, and he directed me to Dr Kim. End of the day, hugely successful fusion. Pain disappeared and spine fused L4-S1. He’s an engaged doctor, spent time with me, showed confidence, and uses cutting edge tech. Since then I had another emergen... read more
My symptoms were numbness in my feet, legs, buttocks and groin with pain in my legs. I couldn’t stand longer than 10 minutes and couldn’t walk more than 20 yards. I consulted 2 physicians and 1 spine specialist. All agreed that pressure was being applied to my spine. Why did I choose Dr. Kim for my fusion procedure. I researched his practice and found an article in a medical magazine that asked physicians who would they choose to operate on their back. They chose 4 physicians and Dr. Kim was one of them. I made the correct d... read more
I waited eight months before doing this review to give this Dr. Kim the benefit of the doubt. I had L3-4 L4-5 LLIF MIS and TLIF done by him. Dr. Kim told me I would walk out the next day, I did not was there 5 days completely numb from the waist down, My ankles are tight it feel like shackles, all he kept saying was hang in there it would get better. He never gave me any proper post op care it was always his Physicians assistant. I had MRI done a month later after ending up in the emergency room, he received it and according... read more
I had pain for over 20 years from College Gymnastics( Tumbling) and pounding that was getting worse, causing numbness in two of my toes. I had had Cortizone shots that worked every 5 months, but decided to try to correct the problem. I saw Dr Kim and he did alol the preliminary work for surgery on one side, but put it off and two years later the other side was bothering me, worse. Minimally invasive surgery was done on L4,5 S1 on my left leg in june of 2020, with excellent results, then in September 2022 I had the Right side... read more
Dr. Kim performed nothing short of a miracle on my back, saving me from lumbar fusion. I have a spondylolisthesis that every surgeon I spoke to across the country advised permanent fusion. Dr Kim performed his novel LESS surgery on me and now, after 2 years of being unable to walk for more than 0.25 mile or approximately 5 minutes, I am now walking 3+ miles and am starting to slowly jog again. It has been only 5 weeks since my surgery, which is absolutely insane in my opinion. my incision is about the size of a nail clipping... read more
Dr. Kim provided excellent care of my chronic low back pain, which had become unbearable. I was told by 4 different spine surgeons that nothing surgical could be done. But when I saw Dr. Kim's video about minimally invasive spine surgery on YouTube, I was convinced that he could help me. We scheduled a video consultation, then test injections, which helped. I had the LESS procedure at two disc levels in Sept. 2022. I am so grateful to say that the surgery really helped me! I no longer have the sharp, stabbing back pains I wa... read more
