Spinal Fusion Surgery

Yael Tarlo

I knew I was heading for a major fusion surgery and was ridden with anxiety, trying to find a way to have the minimum done. Dr. Kim was my third opinion. The minute he looked at my images he recommended fusion of C2-T1 and somehow, I trusted him completely and scheduled the procedure on the spot and I’m so glad I did!

Dr. Kim and his staff are true professionals and absolutely amazing. They took time to explain, make everything easy and ensure I felt comfortable. Special shout out to Theresa who navigated insurance and pre-surgery appointments like the pro that she is.

I’m pain-free and I can live my life to the fullest!
