Reviews
Ashley is the best. She explains things so you never leave trying to guess what’s going on. She listens to everything you have to say and is always so patient. She provides great feedback that is clear and understandable. Thank you!!!!
Ashley was very thorough.
Very helpful explaining what I'm going to go through very kind
Dr. Song is outstanding. Ashlee is wonderful! All of the staff very good, friendly and caring! Best medical practice I’ve ever been to!
Great experience so far.
Dr. Song and Ashlee were great to work with and they were very thorough. Ashlee was on the ball and answered all my questions.
I went to Dr. Song with a broken back. He was so empathetic and I felt his compassion because I was in so much pain. Dr. Song had me in surgery the next day. I told him when it comes to doctors, he is my Hero.
Fine still waiting to see the Dr
I can’t say enough about Dr. Song! When I first came to him years ago, I was in bad shape! He performed 4 surgeries on my neck & back and they have all been successful! He is by far the best Doc I have ever had! I fully trust his expertise along with his awesome staff! Surgery can be scary, but he gave me great relief in pain & reassured me it would all be fine when we were done! Him & his staff are compassionate, kind & very caring! Big TY to all! :)
Approximately a year and a half ago I had a series of lower back surgeries from a local unnamed Neurosurgeon which left me with a spinal leak, massive daily headaches, continued sciatica and a drain in my back routing spinal fluid to my stomach. In September of this year Dr. Song went in and cleaned up the previous mess, found my spinal leak, repaired it and fused my lower back. He then removed the drain that had been installed to shunt fluid. It's been 3 months since my surgery and I feel like a new man. No more daily headaches, no sore lower back and no sciatica pain. My drain has been removed which has cleared up numerous stomach issues. I highly recommend Dr. Song and his team for any spinal issues you may have. My only regret is that I didn't go to him first!
Dr. Song and group care and do excellent work.
Always kind and willing to talk to me and go over all my issues I feel comfortable talking to them and I know they are listening I want to thank you for all you do
