I am sure that Dr. Bahk is a good surgeon but on my visits, I had to wait an hour past appointment time to see him and after reading my MRI (which he had not looked at before I arrived) He literally said "You have a partial tear, you can get a cortisone shot, do PT or surgery... What do you want to do?" I was taken back and said, "PT I guess" he said, "great I'll write the order and then left the room" – Giving someone that news and charging almost $1,000 for the visit and $3,000 for the MRI justified more than 30 seconds of time for an explanation – At least I think

Dr Bahk and his team are friendly and caring, did not push me into any procedures and the doctor was open and willing to talk me through my concerns. My recovery has been smooth :-)

Waited and prolonged my shoulder surgery because I was nervous about the outcome. Dr. Bahk did a great job of going over all my options, the pros and cons of each, and was always available if I ever had any questions or concerns.

Dr, Bahk and his team are "first drawer" in all respects. I'm ready for the left shoulder repair as soon as the right is fully rehabilitated. Thanks you Dr. Bahk!!!

Dr. Bank and the squad over here, they were all amazing. Always polite, if I had a question Doc and the team always had an answer for me. An all around good experience.

I'm still in recovery and look forward to this next part of the journey with Doc and the rest of the team at SCOI.

Dr. Bahk is an excellent and friendly physician and surgeon. I couldn't be happier with the care I've received before and since my surgery. And I've encountered others who've had the same experience. I strongly recommend him.

Dr. Back was recommended to me as a 2nd opinion doctor. He was also a specialist with sports related injuries. He and his team showed great compassion regarding my injury. He clearly explained my MIR findings and all the treatment options. The teams major concern was my road to recovery and qualifying of life. their Mobil communication made it easy to check on my daily progress.
