On February 22, 2025, I suffered a serious fall that resulted in fractures to my C3-C6 vertebrae. I was transported by ambulance to St. Joseph Hospital in Orange, CA, where an MRI confirmed the severity of the injuries. The neurosurgeon who was on call did not want to take the case, but by God's grace Dr. Bowen Jiang happened to be at the hospital and agreed to treat me. He immediately met with me and my family and explained that emergency surgery was necessary. He was honest and compassionate--he would not guarantee an outcome and warned that there was a possibility I might never walk again. After the surgery, I spent three days in the ICU and then two weeks at St. Jude Hospital before finally being able to return home. Dr. Jiang told me recovery could take up to a full year before I could return to my normal routine. Thanks to Dr. Jiang's extraordinary skill and care, my recovery has been nothing short of miraculous. Three months later I was swinging a golf club. Five months later I was back on the football field officiating games. One year later, Dr. Jiang released me from his care. Dr. Jiang not only saved my mobility--he gave me my life back. His surgical skill, honesty, compassion, and willingness to step in during a critical moment are things my family and I will never forget. I truly believe I am walking today because of him. I cannot recommend Dr. Bowne Jiang highly enough. If you ever find yourself needing a spine surgeon, you could not be in better hands. read more

I've recently been experiencing numbness and tingling in both hands, so I scheduled an appointment with a spine surgeon to review my MRI results and figure out what exactly is going on. This was my first time visiting a spine surgery department, and I was really nervous about what might be wrong. I was very fortunate to be assigned to Dr. Shirin (assistant to Dr. Jiang) for my initial consultation. She very carefully asked me about my condition from onset to the present and performed a very patient and thorough physical examination to assess my physical state. She also took the time to patiently explain my MRI images to me and walked me through several treatment options--what to try first, and what the next steps would be if those didn't work. Her approach slowly eased my high anxiety and helped me feel more at peace, giving me a clear idea of what to do next in my treatment. I feel so lucky to have met Dr. Shirin. She even shared her own experience with a similar condition, which gave me confidence that I can recover as well. She provided a lot of emotional support and truly gave me peace of mind. It's rare to meet such a skilled and caring doctor who fills you with confidence about getting better. I'd like to sincerely thank Dr. Shirin, and also thank Dr. Jiang for mentoring such an excellent physician. read more

Dr Jiang did a surgery on my husband's back. After the spinal surgery, other than the actual surgery site, my husband was no longer in pain. Dr Jiang is a miracle surgeon in my opinion. God has blessed his hands and abilities beyond any other doctor I have come across. He's kind, caring and very likable. If you're looking for a back surgeon, look no further. You won't be disappointed!! read more

Dr Bowen Jiang is the most excellent surgeon, along with his PA Shirin Heydari. They are like Michael Jordan & Scotty Pipen. Besides their incredible skills, they are friendly and down to earth. The one on one interaction in the office is amazing. I feel like they are both very good friends. I am so blessed to have them as my care team. My spinal fusion surgery has changed my life. Nothing is 100%. However, the difference from before my surgery is like night and day. Wonderful quality of care. read more

LESS IS MORE. I was getting getting epidurals in my back every couple of months because of very painful sciatica. The problem was not getting better and Dr Lee wanted to refer me to a surgeon. I grew up with an ICU trauma nurse as a mom and I know that what surgeons do, is CUT. CUT happy. I didn't want an orthopedic surgeon who believed always cutting was the answer, but instead was sensitive to surgery being. ONE of the answers. Dr Jiang fill that bill perfectly. He listened, ran more tests to determine the level of nerve damage being done and communicated options with me every step. Ultimately, I/we decided on corrective surgery. It was quick, minimally invasive, and I am about 80% better. An 80% improvement works perfectly for me and Dr Jiang is someone I would recommend without hesitation. He also has extremely capable and supportive staff to help with every step. Tim A. read more

In my opinion, Dr. Bowen Jiang is a very gifted and capable young surgeon. He and his team of professionals has displayed to me total professionalism, courtesy and dedication to me as his patient. Though I was very hesitant at first, because of the nature of the surgery and possible potential risks, I am very fortunate to be referred to him to alleviate the cause of my severe back pain through robot assisted, minimally invasive spine surgery. I was more or less back to normal in 4-5 days after surgery and continue to improve my mobility each day and I feel I have a new lease in life again! I encourage those of you suffering immense back pain to seek a professional opinion from Dr. Jiang to see if he can help you! read more

I've waited 11 weeks post surgery to write my review to be positive that the results of my back surgery weren't too good to be true.I would like to declare Dr Jiang a true miracle worker. His expertise and his team have allowed me to return to a normal life and for the 1rst time in 10 years.No more cane and better yet no more pain (double sciatica) forcing me to sit constantly.Minimally invasive spinal surgery to fuse L3 to L5 with proper follow up and physical therapy has literally restored my life.I'm a 64 year old male that had hip replacement 1 year ago with the understanding that would fix my problems but it didn't and it actually got much worse.Dr Jiang was recommended to me and it was by far the smartest decision I ever made.If your suffering from back pain I highly recommend getting an appointment asap. read more

After being diagnosed with spinal stenosis and three epidurals later. Im 75 years old Dr. Bowen Jiang MD-neurosurgeon explained how he and his team could help with robotic assist surgery. I am so grateful for the outcome and the care given. Thank you Dr. Jiang MD. read more

I am 3 weeks post op and I am forever grateful to Dr Jiang and his staff. I was so scared to have spinal fusion, laminectomy and instrumentation and he explained everything in detail and put my mind at ease. He uses the Robotic system vs traditional and I couldn't be more happier. The first 7-10 days post op was painful but I'm now 3 weeks out and feel great. Thank you again Dr Jiang read more

After weeks & weeks of excruciating lower back pain, I was referred to Dr. Jiang by a pain management doctor. Dr. Jiang was able to see me the next day, and recommended that I have a micro discectomy . I was so appreciative that he was able to see me in a short period of time & his explanation of the procedure, and what would happen post-op were precise & easy to comprehend. After surgery, I felt relief instantly! I couldn't be more thankful for his help. I would also like to acknowledge his assistant, Shirin. She was always available for any other questions I may have had. Dr. Jiang is HIGHLY recommended! read more

Dr Jang is an excellent physician who cares for the well-being of his patients. He explains everything well that concerns the procedure being done. His staff is very friendly, courteous, and helpful in relating anything to or from my doctor. I would highly recommend Dr Jiang to anyone in need of spine surgery. read more

2 years ago I suffered a fall fracturing my cervical spine at the C2 level. Fortunately, Dr Jiang was on ER call. He evaluated my injury and scheduled surgery ASAP. I am so blessed that he was my surgeon. I felt rhat I was in the care of a very capable surgeon. He was very professional and personable. He kept me well informed of my progress. Thank you for your care and compassion. A grateful patient - Marcia Wilken read more

I will give a 5-star rating to Dr. Jiang's staff, but not to Dr. Jiang. Dr. Jiang's staff have been amazing to me and have been very polite and helpful. I especially like Dr. Jiang's PA, Dr. Heydari. But to be frank, when I met up with Dr. Jiang to go over a recent MRI of my spine, he was nice, at first. After asking him questions and requesting paperwork from him for light-duty at my military unit, he was very rude to me. He was giving me attitude and was giving curt attitude to his staff as well. My MRI was clear and I just wanted to know what was going on and he was less than willing to help me and was rushing to push me out the door. WILL NOT return in the future. read more

I came to Dr. Jiang and his practice after dealing with chronic low back pain for the last 10 years following a traumatic fall. I am young, only 28, so most physicians I saw turned their nose at me and said they wouldn't touch me for a surgical fix, especially a revision surgery as I had surgery when I was 20. When I came to Dr. Jiang, I was blown away at his bedside manner. He walked into my first appointment knowing everything about me without referring to my chart. We agreed at trying a more conservative approach at first, and when that wasn't as effective we decided to move forward with surgery. Dr. Jiang made sure to explain all of my risks and that if at any point during the surgery he thought that what he was doing could hurt me, he would stop and not proceed. He is truly amazing. I had a revision lumbar surgery with laminectomy, discectomy and instrumented fusion and I am blown away at how much better I am feeling only 3 week post op. And let me tell you how amazing his PA, Shirin is! She cares so much for her patients and really takes the time to sit down and go over any and all concerns. Their office staff is wonderful and very responsive to requests. I couldn't recommend a better practice for all of your spinal needs! read more

My surgery was successful. The reason for my surgery being so successful was Dr Jiang, and his great staff. I had a fusion to my L 4th and 5th. I had severe pain all down the right side of my leg into my foot. Dr Jiang put me at ease and telling me that he would be able to correct my problem. When I came out of surgery I had no more pain I can walk without a limp and I can stand without pain my recovery has been great within 5 weeks I am walking without pain and back to riding my bike. I would highly recommend Dr Jiang and his staff. They are top of the top. You will be in great hands. read more

I honestly can't say enough about Dr. Jiang and his expertise! My husband presented to the ER with a severe headache and diagnosed with a grapefruit-size meningioma (benign brain tumor). Dr. Jiang and his colleagues had a plan in place and performed a very difficult surgery within 24 hours. Dr. Jiang was able to completely remove the tumor and my husband has no neurological deficits. He kept in close contact with myself and the rest of our family during this difficult time. His physician's assistant, Shirin, was very kind and knowledgeable, as well. His office staff and medical assistant were a breath of fresh air and welcoming. Dr. Jiang and his staff renewed our faith in the medical field. They are the best of the best! read more

So I was in sciatica pain that brought me to tears and suffering. That's the unfortunate truth. When I went to Dr Jiang, he took a look at my MRI he gave me a range of choices for my consideration. Dr Jiang has superior credentials that include Stanford medical school, residency and fellowship at John Hopkins. He tells you what he sees then communicates your options. Dr Jiang determined the urgency of my situation and a week and a half and I was in the operating room with him and his team. I get a bit nervous when contemplating surgery but Dr Jiang and his team made me at ease with the communication with me every step of the way. They communicated the procedure I was having performed on me days before and on the day of surgery. I was confident that when I was in the operating room that everyone was on the same page as I was. Dr Jiang and his entire surgical and office staff are top notch. I mean that in all truthfulness. The next day Dr Jiang called me to see how I was doing. I was a little surprised but I shouldn't have been. That's just who he is. I am now pain free because of my surgery. Thank you to Dr Jiang and his surgical staff and his office staff. Sincerely Scott Markowitz read more

Dr. Jiang performed a laminectomy on my L4 and L5 vertebrae just over 2 weeks ago. I've gone from extreme pain to now being pain free and able to walk even without a cane or walker. I can't say enough for him and his staff. Excellent and very personable. read more

When I first met Dr. Jiang my spinal stenosis was so severe I could barely walk. After reviewing my MRI results, he said I was a perfect candidate for his minimally invasive robotic surgery. He performed a L4-5 spinal fusion and laminectomy & I was up and walking the following morning. I am now 3 months post-op & my quality of life has improved 110% and I owe it all to Dr. Jiang. He is a gifted & highly trained neurosurgeon who really cares about his patient. He has surrounded himself with an exceptional staff & communication is always spot on. Thank you so much Dr Jiang, I am forever grateful. I still wish I could nominate you for a Nobel award for your incredible talent!! read more

Dr. Bowen Jiang is a brilliant and outstanding Neurosurgeon. My husband saw him recently where they found a huge Meningioma and we were blessed and fortunate to have him referred to us by our regular doctor. From the moment we saw him, through the surgery, and afterwards, we felt that we were in the best hands of a doctor who cared, explained things that we could understand and kept us informed throughout my husband's stay in the hospital. Dr. Jiang cares about his patients deeply as well as the family. He explained precisely what my husband was to go through, he was honest and direct, and he was always easy to get a hold of. My husband who is 73 years old has had his life saved by Dr. Jiang. The recovery has been excellent, what Dr. Jiang accomplished was amazing, and now my husband has been back at work a week later. We trust this doctor 100%. He is truly the best. He is gifted. He is one of a kind. read more

I had a herniated disc on my L5 S1 since July. The constant sciatic nerve pain on my right buttock, back thigh, and calf made my life miserable! In late August, I was lucky to find Dr. Jiang. After reviewing my MRI, he suggested that I try Physical Therapy and epidural injections first before going directly to surgery. However, he said I needed to see him again if pain continued after one and a half month. After many sessions of PT and 2 epidural injections, my pain didn't go away. I returned to Dr. Jiang on 11/2. With the help of his amazing care team, especially Maryann to deal with the insurance company, Dr. Jiang was able to perform my microdisectomy after 2 weeks. I feel so blessed to have Dr. Jiang, his wonderful assistant Shirin, and his supportive team on my side; they went above and beyond my expectations. As soon as I got out of the hospital bed, I was able to stand with no sciatica on my right side. I'm now 4 weeks post-op; I feel fantastic, walking normal, and I finally have my life back. Dr. Jiang is a truly gifted, knowledgeable, honest, and caring individual. I was quite comforted by his personal call to my husband and I the day after surgery. I can't thank you enough Dr. Jiang! You are the best and so is your team! read more
