[Back to these patient experiences →](https://commonsclinicreviews.com/review-topics/staff/hyun-bae-md/) 105 written reviews Highest rated first · Newest within each rating > I can honestly say I’ve never had a more pleasant experience while dealing with a Doctors office. From the original scheduling calls to meeting with Dr Bae everyone has been kind and professional. I believe you can tell alot about a Doctor (or any employer) by the attitude of their staff. Everyone I’ve spoken to or met (including Dr Bae) have been very upbeat. It seems like the entire staff is happy to be there and to care for you as a person and patient. > I got stuck in traffic on the way in from LaQuinta. Called the office to let them know and was told not to worry they’d see me when I arrived. Spent maybe 5 min waiting on arrival. Once in the room I had 1 nurse, 1 nurse practitioner enter immediately and Dr Bae with in minutes. Because of this efficiency I was back on the road within the hr. > Dr Bae and his team explained my problems and came up with a plan they I totally agree with. > I finally feel like my problems can and will be fixed. Looking forward to being able to finally move forward. R.

I went for my first consult and he explained everything that was going on with my back after looking at the mri result. He went into detail of what I need and I didn’t even feel scared when he told me that I needed surgery to fix it. I will definitely go back to see him again. P.

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.

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.!! L. S.

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. I.

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. E. H.
