I felt confident that the surgery would be successful and it was!

I like Dr. Ching very much and feel confident in his care. His staff is also five stars, imho. My questions are always answered and I feel like I can ask pretty much anything and get a thoughtful response.

Wonderful - complete releif!

Dr. Ching has fixed my back/neck on three separate locations. He's very interested in finding the problem, discovering a solution and following through with a great surgery.

Dr Alex Ching & his entire team and staff have been awesome

Dr. Ching did a fantastic job w. a difficult spinal surgery involving 3 disc regions (microdiscectomy laminenectomy) & small separate fusion. No screws! The new bone is filling in from fragments in a small plastic cage. I can now function and even hike again. Importantly also, the reception group including Deb and medical assistants and PAs from Michelle to Nicole & Joel are also top notch & communicate well . Ching himself takes time to share exactly what he is doing and why! He also will tell you if he can't do something that will improve your health. Hats off to you all & many thanks.

Dr. Ching gives me the help I need make progress during my recovery.

Dr. Ching operated on my herniated disc. The surgery was successful, but recovery from the nerve damage has taken longer than expected. Although Dr. Ching can't "fix me" he is helping me get the appropriate treatment so I can continue to make progress. Too many surgeons would lose interest in a patient like me because they can't personally do anything, so it is refreshing to work with someone who cares about my long term progress.

extremely happy with all aspects from beginning to end

I was treated with respect and concern for my overall issues. The start to finish was not rushed time was taken to make sure i was informed and understood what was going to transpire. What recovery would be like and what to expect. Dr Ching and Joel made sure that all questions were answered before and after surgery.
