Dr.Kim is an amazing Surgeon , who’s seriously next level, AWESOME. I had a rare, Tarlov Cyst, with major symptoms that needed surgery. I was highly recommended to Dr. Kim who performs these types of surgeries. Not many Surgeons know how to perform this type of surgery and I was so grateful he was my Doctor! I was in excellent hands. Dr. Kim is so inspiring, passionate, meticulous and he uses cutting edge technology and techniques in his practice. Dr. Kim and his entire office is absolutely outstanding. The patient care is f... read more

I was scared when I met Dr. Kim for the first time. I was scared because I was becoming too crippled to walk, and I had found no doctor who could help me. Dr Kim understood my problem and I underwent surgery to repair a lumbar disc. I went from barely walking to hiking miles. I was 71, and I went from total despair to the joy of living for the future. There are no words that I can find to describe the magnitude of the gratitude I feel for what Dr. Kim has done for me. God bless his skill and knowledge for the many who need h... read more

I am very happy to have found Dr. Kim. I have always felt that he has had my best interest in mind. I had spent two years treating my back issues with strengthening and had not been successful. I did my homework and choose Dr. Kim because of his minimal non invasive approach. At the time of this review, I am three months out of surgery and no longer have the limitations that I had before.

Dr. Kim, his staff, and the experience at UC San Diego, East Campus, is truly a Center of Excellence. After deciding to have surgery (LESS procedure) the process was seamless and everyone was so helpful, supportive and professional. I was resistant to pull the trigger mainly because I was in disbelief that I couldn't fix my back pain through all the recommendations I complied with. Once realizing I couldn’t live in pain any longer, I made the decision and the process could not have been easier. Such a great team with Dr. Kim... read more

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
