March 21, 2025

An excellent surgeon in spine surgery. Very much genius, experienced, soft-spoken and caring. He operated on our patient last November in 2024. The 45-year-old’s back problem has been resolved. And the patient is doing very well since then. The respected surgeon is still advising the patient on the overseas telephone if needed.
