Spine and back reviews.

Dr Bae took his time to think out and explain everything. He showed us pictures of my neck stenosis MRI and what the surgery entailed. He was kind and thoughtful. He was very reassuring and recommended one more test before the final decision.

Dr. Bae takes the time with you to give a full explanation of what is wrong and how to address the issues.. Incredible surgeon!!!!!! I am a 10 year patient of Dr.Bae, C4-C6 2 level disc replacement… Just did my follow up and the discs look perfect… All of his staff is just amazing!!!! Just make you feel welcome and relaxed…. I’m referring patients to him he just really is the spine expert…. I’m in music, I refer to Dr. Bae to my musician friends the Eddie Van Halen (Best guitar player) of the spine for his innovative techniques that are changing how everything is perceived on the spine…. Could not thank him enough…

Everyone from office staff, the Nurse, PA and the Doctor were all incredibly warm, kind and knowledgeable. All of my questions were answered and I would highly recommend Dr. Bae to anyone having spine related issues.

I traveled from the east coast to see Dr. Bae on the recommendation of a friend in Los Angeles. I was so debilitated by spinal stenosis that I had take a wheel chair to the plane, fly in a lie flat seat, and be wheeled off the plane to meet my ride. By the time I saw Dr. Bae for my surgery, I had tried PT, shots, painkillers, prescription anti inflammatories--literally everything. I had missed family events including a wedding and hadn't taken a pain free walk in years. Dr. Bae performed micro decompression surgery. I walked out of the clinic and have been walking ever since. It's been a month and I'm averaging 11,000 steps a day. I am eternally grateful for Dr. Bae.

Am a big fan of Dr. Bae who did my back surgery in 2015. A consummate professional.

How do you get 2 disks replaced in your neck and have no pain? I have had more painful manicures. Amazing. I had no downtime and virtually no pain from the surgery. Thank-you Dr. Bae

Thank you Dr Bae and Bernadette for the best experience I could have possibly had having lower back surgery . You and your staff were so kind and made me feel very comfortable and heard ! Thank you for getting me back to being able to walk again without pain ! The pre-operative care and after care I received was by far the best I’ve ever experienced ,and it was truly a miracle I found this clinic ! I can’t thank you enough wishing you and everyone there a very happy new year !

Dr. Bae 116 Cares, listens, takes a minimalist approach, for example let’s try this first before we move to the next step. He is very much aware of the patient’s concerns. Truly a pleasure and he instills great confidence. His PA Bernadette is also amazing! I changed my life seven years ago with back surgery. It was perfect and has enabled me to play pickle ball, walk, etc.

Arrived at the office, short wait, staff was personable, friendly, knowledgeable, and efficient. Dr, Bae was friendly, sincere, intent, and explained what the images of the MRI revealed and what is causing the pain in my neck. More recent tests are required to accurately diagnose the injury. My doctor strongly suggested I go see Dr. Bae. Best advice I've gotten in a long time. He and his staff are absolutely the best. Thanks Glenn

Dr Bae is one of those unique physicians you rarely have the pleasure to experience. He is not only one of the finest spinal surgeons, but he is charismatic and compassionate.

Dr. Hyun Bae is one of the best surgeons I have ever had. Professional, intelligent impeccable bed side manner. He is by far a Top Orthopedic/Spine Surgeon in So Cal. My first opinion physician was a surgery hack and my 2nd was Dr. Bae. He was a watch and wait until I really needed it. Love him.

Hyun Bae, MD

I could not have asked for better care from Dr Bae and his staff. Traveling from out of state to see you was the best decision I made. I could hardly walk when I came in to see Dr. Bae. He did my spinal surgery and I feel like a different person I can walk without pain.!!

I am writing to express my sincere gratitude for the life-changing surgery you performed on June 17, 2025. As you know, I had emergency laminectomy surgery on May 30, 2024, in Wisconsin, which left me with significant numbness in both legs, limited toe mobility, and intense pain from my hip to my left knee. A specialist in California informed me that these issues could become permanent if they persisted for six months after the surgery. I suffered with this condition for a year, and it took me four months to even begin walking without assistance of a walker o cane after the surgery in Wisconsin. When I came to see you in Santa Monica in April 2025, you offered hope that you could correct my desperate pain and numbness. The results of the spinal surgery you performed on vertebrae 3, 4, and 5, where you also placed two screws in vertebrae 3 and 4, have been nothing short of incredible. Just ten days after surgery, I was able to walk without the help of a walker or cane. Now, two and a half months post-surgery, the improvement is profound. I can walk for up to an hour without any leg pain, and I experience only minimal discomfort in my lower back. I went from being unable to walk for more than eight minutes due to unbearable pain (level 8) to being able to walk for an hour without problems. Dr. Bae, your professionalism and that of your staff are truly extraordinary. I feel blessed that you performed my surgery and have changed my life from one of frustration and pain to one without pain at all. Thank you for everything. God bless your heart.

Dr. Bae and his staff are hands-down the best Practice I’ve ever been to!! Dr Bae Performed a surgery that most world, renowned spine surgeons won’t even touch. He is the best spine surgeon in the world. The best bedside manner, and I cannot say enough good things about the practice!!!

Dr. Bae is really an expert in cervical disc replacement. This is my send consult with him. His staff is very friendly and accommodative. Overall a great experience. Recommend him hihgly!

Hyun Bae, MD

Dr. Bae reconstructed my lower spine and got me back to work as a professional firefighter, when surgeons in my home state could not. His office goes above and beyond to work with me. I trust Dr. Bae, his advice and expertise wholeheartedly! I would highly recommend Dr. Bae!!!!

Hyun Bae, MD

Office is very professional so the overall experience was very good. Dr Bae performed a spinal fusion for me 12 years ago which was life changing. Returned for a checkup recently. I recommend Dr Bae and his team highly.

Hyun Bae, MD

Dr. Bae, his staff Bernadette and August are the most exceptional caring people. I can't express enough gratitude in the care they have given me during and after my successful spine surgery, C3, C4. I was able to function almost like normal the next day, minus not lifting anything heavy during recovery. Since then, I have another bulging disc in another area and that was painful and they've helped treat the issue right away. Dr. Bae is an incredible surgeon and he has a phenomenal staff!

Dr.Bae is the 4 th surgeon I consulted with for my cervical and lumbar issues.He gave me the least invasive, cutting edge and advanced surgery options with the quickest recovery! Hopefully the results will follow 🙏🙏 very impressive Dr.

Hyun Bae, MD

One of the best spine surgeons I've dealt with. He told me he can definitely improve the quality of my life, which he did!!! I had a 2 level cervical disc repacement almost 8 years ago, and there are no issues to date!!! His positive energy is infectious, so glad I had Dr Bae as my surgeon!!!

Hyun Bae, MD

My experience with Dr. Bae, and his staff has been nothing short of miraculous. The amount of pain I was in before my procedure was relentless, exhausting, and unlivable. Fusion of my entire cervical spine had been suggested by two Arizona prominent orthopedic surgeons. Dr. Bae replaced two disc in my neck and the change was noticeable immediately. When I woke from the anesthesia the first thing I noticed was no pain in my shoulder, arm, or hand. It was all gone. LThe only slight discomfort I had was from the surgical procedure itself, and with two Tylenol a day for a week I felt very little. I'm 63, and this was my first surgical procedure. I was very fortunate to find Dr. Bae and his staff.
