Dr. and staff provided me with clear expectations and genuine care

My experience has been truly remarkable. i went from having daily chronic pain to having no pain in just 6 weeks. The recovery was exactly as indicated which allowed me to plan around work to ensure my body had enough time to recover.

Thorough and caring provider

Dr. Ching has performed 2 lumbar surgeries for me, and is always willing to answer any questions I have as well as describe things to me in a manner I understand. I always feel like he listens to my concerns and takes them seriously and wants to help me feel my best.

Hopefully the last surgery I have!

Experienced a major sciatic event 2 years ago. PA Joel Horst guided me to recovery of symptoms. However, sciatic pain continued directly related to bending and twisting motions, pain that stopped me in my tracks. Finally, decided to explore a permanent remedy. Surgery was very controversial as talked to friends, but eventually Coflex was recommended. Procedure seemed reasonable and not too invasive. So, 12/16/20 I had the surgery. I'm now at 3 months past and srill feeling mild ache in lower back and slight pain with certain movements.

I have a pain free life again. Absolutely confident in Dr Ching.

On my initial visit with Dr Ching, I immediately felt like I was going to receive the best medical care available to me regarding significant progressive spine deformity. I appreciated Dr. Ching's conservative and calculated approach to addressing my significant scoliosis which included unwillingness to do surgery on me until he was confident that I was at a proper weight an nutritionally sound to have a successful outcome to a surgery. He chose to do a more limited surgery that he was confident would provide me relief from significant and debilitating pain. This surgery, for the time being, has provided with a return to a "normal" life and being able to enjoy almost everything that is important to my happiness and well-being without any sense of restriction. I absolutely could not have had a better medical care experience with such a disability and abnormality in my spine. I have absolute total and complete confidence in Dr Ching and his staff regarding spine issues.
