This doctor performed the wrong type of surgery on me. Had me wait over one in half hours past my appointment time. He is diffently not a doctor who wants to cure all.

Dr. Yoon performed a microdiscetomy (L4/L5) one year ago. He said the nerve damage in my right leg may take up to a year to heal. I am now 95% of the way healed regarding my right leg feeling like my left leg. Dr. Yoon is honest, right to the point, and trustworthy.

It's difficult to give a fair overall rating when the actual discussion with the doctor was excellent, but the subject of the discussion (still the same old lower back & right-side hip & leg pain) was not very positive. In support of Dr. Yoon, he does not hold out false hope; he describes the situation frankly and truthfully.

Dr. Yoon examined me & determined the first course of action for addressing my back problem was to start receiving steroid injections.

I was examined by Dr. Yoon & it was decided I should start receiving steroid injections soon to see if it will help with my back problem.

When I came to DR. Yoon for treatment, I was suffering with extreme lower back pain and shooting pain down my leg to my calf and ankle. Dr. Yoon performed a TLIF procedure and the results have been amazing. Three months after the procedure I am basically pain free and have even gotten back into running....couldn't be more satisfied with the results. I would be happy to share my experience with any one contemplating this procedure.
