I was misdiagnosed. I went to see Dr. Song after months of sharp lower back pain. He didn't even order an MRI, but instead tried to sell me a back brace. I fortunately went to another doctor who not only recommended an MRI, but also discovered that I had a tumor growing on my spine. Do not recommend.

He messed up my 19 year old daughter did a huge surgery on her and never came to see her after at the hospital and she had a spinal leak and severe spinal headache and didn’t do anything to help her until she was flooding spinal fluid out of her back and still wasn’t professional about it. NEGLECT OF CARE which led to several surgeries because of the damage he did. Too much to write but stay away

He is a wonderful doctor. He has a personality and is friendly which is the cherry on the sundae. He is an excellent surgeon. I had excellent results.

I fell so very fortunate to have been referred to Dr. Song. I found him to be one of the most knowledgeable,understanding, aand through Doctors I have ever met in my 65 years. Dr. Song gave me all the time needed to explain in detail all options, and non surgerical remedies to make sure all cosiderations were taken before surgery was needed. After months of alternative proceedures, surgery was finally the only option. I am now two weeks post opperation and feeling better and better every day. This man is truely one in a million, a wonderful doctor and human being who conciders his patiences above all making them feel like they are truely #1.

Dr. Song has been dedicated to determining the cause of my post surgical pain. He clearly communicates how evidence of tests and symptoms directs his decisions. His manner is professional, pleasant and concerned.
