Dr. Tung Mai Ha, DO

Excellent experience at FCN under Dr. Ha's care!. I had a two level ACDR performed by Dr Ha and his staff in December 2023 and everything exceeded my expectations. Everyone from Front Desk, Medical Assistants, Intake and Recovery Nurses are friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. Dr. Ha takes his time to explain the problems, procedures, risk, possible complications and every question one can possibly have. I had never had any surgeries done on me and I left the place almost eager to have more treatment done. It is truly a blessing to have such levels of service in our Bellingham community.

I've experienced a loss of mobility over recent years (I'm over 70 years old), and an MRI identified some "severe" stenosis issues in my lumbar region. I was referred to Dr. Tung Ha by my GP, and soon afterward began my process of getting my mobility back. Dr. Ha's approach was to seek the least invasive way to resolve the specific problem causing my mobility issue. After a steroid injection into the target joint, Dr. Ha determined that he could perform an arthroscopic procedure that in his words was akin to "tip-toeing in and tip-toeing out" of my spine. This left more options available if this procedure didn't help my mobility. I am pleased to say his strategy worked, and without too much pain, time, and effort post-surgery I am making dramatic progress in recouping my mobility. I highly recommend Dr.Ha for his knowledge, skills, and ability as a neurosurgeon. I'm very blessed to have his hands on my healing.

Dr.Ha is down to earth professional surgeon. He explains all aspects of your condition in easy to understand terms. He tells you what he can do to resolve you situation and what you can expect after your surgery. The entire staff are nothing less than professionals. Operating room staff are very accommodating and will not let you stress out. When you enter the Immaculate operating room you know you are in very capable hands. I would highly recommend getting surgery there!!

Doctor Ha and staff, As I am getting back to my previous activities I want to send a note of thanks and gratitude. The day I came to the clinic I was terrified that I would lose the use of my legs from the severe spinal stenosis that was diagnosed on the MRI. Thank you, Dr Ha for calmly explaining that surgery was possible, and how it would be done. The day of surgery at the CBSC, I was met with kind and competent staff from the receptionist, admitting nurse, OR nurse and recover nurse. I felt safe and cared for. A few hours later I was ready to go home. The recovery has been uneventful with minimal pain. Yesterday I walked three miles, and today I will attend my dance class. Doctor Ha., my heartfelt gratitude to you and your staff for making that possible.

Dr. Ha and his entire staff at Cascade Brain & Spine Center and Fourth Corner Neurosurgical Associates are so competent and caring. When I knew I was going to have to have back surgery and I was newer to the Bellingham area I asked people I knew about back surgeons. Three separate people told me about Dr Ha. Their reports were glowing, how they trusted him with their lives. Before seeing Dr Ha I had seen and orthopedic surgeon who recommended fusing my back. Dr Ha was my 2nd opinion. I felt confident in the first doctor, but am grateful that I kept my appointment with Dr Ha. He felt fusing my back was not necessary, with a slight possibility that years down the line I may need it, but I may not and fusions can’t be ‘undone’. I loved his view on only doing what’s necessary for the best outcome for his patient. When watching me walk and testing my reflexes he noticed something that was off and questioned me about my neck. Yes, I definitely had neck problems as well. He ordered… another MRI which showed how significant my neck issues are, also requiring surgery. I have now completed my back surgery and awaiting my neck surgery in about 4 weeks. Everything went so smoothly the day of my back surgery. The entire experience and surgical team are outstanding. I have such confidence in them, especially knowing I have to go back in for neck surgery. Everyone there truly cares and let’s you know it. Dr Ha is so respectful and caring, I know he wants what’s best for me. I also appreciate how easily he can explain the medical issues I have in such easy to understand layman terms and takes the time to make sure I understand everything!

The experience with Dr. Ha and his entire team was nothing short of amazing! His approach to non-invasive surgery relieved my nerve pain. The team surrounding him also need to be commended for their knowledge and bedside manner, not only to me as the patient, but also my wife. Very glad to be able to have found them!!

Dr. Ha is a miracle worker! He is caring, compassionate and an expert in his field of surgery. He listened to me carefully, explained everything clearly and answered all of my questions in a way that made me feel calm, reassured, and prepared for the surgery. The surgery he performed was incredible, and his work is meticulous- the scar is almost invisible! I feel a million percent better than I have in 15 years, all thanks to Dr.Ha. I am beyond grateful to have had the chance to work with Dr.Ha and his incredible staff!

Dr. Ha was competent, informative, kind, and very understanding. I came to him in extreme pain and every person on his staff was was helpful. The surgery he performed gave me relief from pain I had endured for years. I so appreciate his help.

Doctor Ha was the doctor on call when I was in the hospital.He ordered an MRI and saw that I had a bulging disc. He tried to avoid surgery by giving me a steroid shot in the spine but that didn't work.The next morning I had surgery and walked out of the hospital two hours later feeling wonderful.I can't say enough good things about doctor Ha. I would recommend him to anyone with spine problems. He was thorough and answered all my questions and concerns.

I am very satisfied with my care from Dr Ha and his entire staff. My pain is gone and i have a new lease on life. Thank you all.
