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
I searched out the best I could find. I wanted to find the most up to date doctor I could find. I loved what I saw from doctor Choll Kim so I made an appointment even though he was on the other side of the country. I would have done anything to have the opportunity to be able to live my life again. This man allowed me to make an appointment even though I tried to make sure WAY ahead of time that he was ok with over weight people. I never could get an answer but I went ahead and made the appointment anyway. He dismissed me wi... read more
I was in trouble with an infection that was destroying my cervical spine. Dr. Kim and Dr. Garfin saved me. 15 years later i have No Arthirithis..No pains in winter ( i have metal in my neck) very minor stiffness when cold..an advil solves that. I dont want No One touching my spine if its not Dr. Kim or Dr. Garfin. Period.
I went to see Dr. Choll Kim and staff regarding double discs replacement surgery. I was very un easy about another surgery under my belt, especially one been in my cervical region. Dr. Choll kim ensured me I would feel better literally a few days after my operation. 2 days after surgery I was already moving around in the gym doing light weight workouts etc... 8 weeks post op, I'm back to a 110% from where I was and keep getting better everyday. Excel Spine staff is easy to talk too and most important the communication is exc... read more
I am forever grateful to Dr. Kim for the life changing work he performed on my spine. His medical genius and true professionalism is only out paced by his compassion for his patients. Dr. Kim's entire staff reflects his genuine care for people, and I am fully convinced that thee is no rival to his team, the best modern medicine could possible offer. I would be living a far inferior life physically and my small children would not have been able to share the same experiences with their dad had it not been for the selfless and ... read more
From start to finish, Dr Kim and his staff provided support and gave needed instruction that paved the way for no worries on my part. Dr Kim's personality was a reassuring presence that gave me confidence that never wavered through out the entire process. Considering the delicacy of the surgery my recovery has been virtually painless and swift.
My husband and I waited 2 hours but those are the best 2 hours worth waiting! If you know you have the best doctor you wait for him I knew he was the best after all the research I have done... After he examines me he knew that my problems were not coming from my back but somewhere else. He was my third opinion the other two doctors wanted to operate right away! Well guess what after much proding we discovered my problems was coming from a parathyroid tumor! Hypercalcemia which mimicks same symptoms as the spine. I am current... read more
Highly, highly recommend the gifted Dr. Kim and his wonderful team. My L4/L5 surgery resulted in a remarkable, life changing difference in the quality of my life!!!! Pain before surgery was 9/10. Leg numbness & tingling was constant. 6 weeks post -op my pain level is 1/10 with zero leg numbness/tingling. And I'm in my mid 80's! Results far exceeded my expectations! I researched and considered many surgeons. I'm so glad I went with Dr Kim! Just wish I would have done this sooner to save myself years of pain.
