Spinal Fusion
Spinal fusion stabilizes the spine by joining vertebrae, alleviating pain from instability or deformity. Ideal for patients with degenerative disc disease, scoliosis, or fractures, this procedure uses advanced techniques to promote long-term mobility and strength.
Microdiscectomy
Microdiscectomy relieves nerve pressure caused by herniated discs. Using minimally invasive methods, we remove damaged disc material to reduce leg pain and restore function, with faster recovery compared to traditional surgery.
Scoliosis Correction
Scoliosis correction addresses abnormal spinal curvature through tailored surgical techniques. We restore proper alignment to improve posture, reduce pain, and prevent progression, enhancing patients' overall quality of life.
Disc Replacement
Disc replacement preserves spinal motion by substituting damaged discs with prosthetics. This alternative to fusion maintains flexibility and reduces adjacent segment stress, offering durable relief for chronic back pain.
Laminectomy
Laminectomy alleviates spinal stenosis by removing bone spurs or thickened ligaments. This decompression procedure relieves nerve pressure, reducing pain and improving mobility for patients with leg weakness or numbness.

Report
I want to take this time to thank dr. Kim he is the best I had surgery done on December 27th 2019 and I am at home recovering at this time.originally I was scheduled for surgery on my neck on October 25th 2019 but I was very scared because of the seriousness of the surgery so I cancelled the surgery. Dr.kim actually call me twice at home to check on me what doctor does that and that made a big difference in my life therefore allowing me to move forward with the surgery on the 27th of December. this man this doctor is so genuine I will highly recommend him if you ever need any type of neurology
