He said the multiple herniations in my neck were "Something everyone over 30 has. It's normal." Really? The doctor who ordered the MRI told me she felt like I needed to see a surgeon at this point because it's been 15 years of pain, and my problems are getting worse every year. I have tried everything. Literally everything to help my pain. I have spent so much money in pain management. All they did for me today was give me pain pills which I didn't want at all bc I can't even take them at work. I want it fixed. Not a bandaid. He said my extreme pain was "Headaches." Really? I know my own body and this isn't a headache or even a migraine. I wasted $100 and time off my job to be pushed off to another doctor. Yet again. I have been doing this dance from spinal to neuro, to spinal to neuro. I felt 0 sympathy or validation, like I was just another $. The only people who were nice to me were his PA, and the assistants. They were kind and actually listened. They validated my concerns. He referred me to neurology. When I asked him what they could do, he shrugged and said "I don't know, I'm not a neurologist." Don't waste your time or money.

First let me start out by saying that I have had moderate to severe pain in my lower back and right…read moreleg for approximately 30 years. I have been to several doctors (three) over the years to have this issue resolved. In general, all of the doctors said that this problem could not be permanently fixed, but they could help me manage my pain. I will never know if I was responsible for not getting the care I needed because I chose doctors with the wrong medical specialties, nevertheless less I decided to take a different approach. I called Dr Mark Prasarn an Orthopedic Spine Surgeon. After Speaking with Dr. Prasarn, I left his office feeling inspired. Nothing was fixed yet, but I was filled with hope. Dr. Prasarn said the cause of my back pain was Spondilolithesis. He also said that it wasn't as bad as some others that he has seen in the past and that the surgery could fix my problem. I really appreciate the fact that he spent a considerable amount of time with me that day. Dr. Prasarn has a very methodical approach regarding care. He first recommended that I try physical therapy, if there was little to no change in my pain level we would then move on to pain management. If the pain level persists, we would try surgery. It is good game plan for him to start with the least invasive strategies until he could provide a decision that matched my personal needs. I did eventually have surgery. After just two weeks from the day of my surgery the pain was completely gone. I waited four months to write this review because I wanted to see if there would be any recurring issues concerning my back pain. I am happy to report that I feel great!! I have not experienced any pain (nothing!). For me this surgery has been life changing. I can't tell you all the special accommodations that were made for me just to take a walk. I feel very lucky to have found Dr. Prasarn a very good doctor and really a very nice person. He has the credentials and it is very obvious that he has a strong desire for helping people. For me, he was just the right person at the right time. I highly recommend Dr. Prasarn if you are experiencing any back pain that requires professional help

If it is difficult to communicate prior to surgery, it is inferred that communication will be difficult after surgery when one needs their surgeon the most.

Given that his team has failed him, I have looked elsewhere for my family's care.

Prior to seeing Dr. Edwin Lo (a neurosurgeon at SpineTech) in March of 2023, I was having SEVERE…read morepain radiating down my left leg. After my initial consultation with Dr. Lo, we determined to start treatment for the pain starting with the most conservative treatment and progressing from there. By starting with conservative treatment, Dr. Lo was able to assess what level would stop the pain. Before starting different treatments, Dr. Yu (a neurologist) ran a series of nerve tests to assess how my nerves were responding to pain stimulus, This assessment involved putting an EKG-type monitor on different parts of my body and administering static electricity to those areas, which were recorded on an EKG-type machine. This assessment gave the doctors a baseline from which to work. While these assessments were being done, the pain was increasing from just one leg to both legs and my right arm to the point, where was NOT able to lift my arm above shoulder-level without wanting to buckle in nerve pain. Initially, Dr. Lo prescribed medication which somewhat numbed the pain, but, didn't stop it entirely. after that step failed, the next step was to try injections, (2 sets) which were not effective for long. The pain returned with a vengeance and increased in severity, making it difficult to try to continue to work. After the injections failed to produce any lasting results, I tried a chiropractor. Again the results were short-lived. After these methods failed to produce lasting pain-relief. Dr. Lo decided that the best (and most productive) course of action was spine surgery. On December 1st, 2023.I had an L4-L5 TLIF procedure done.by Dr. Lo and his assistant Dr. Choi. What I remember the most about this surgery is waking up from it, and not having ANY NERVE PAIN whatsoever. I could move my arms/shoulders and legs freely. IT WAS AMAZING the relief was instantaneous. I have had several follow-up appointments with SpineTech and Dr. Lo since then and I have nothing but WONDERFUL things to say about this doctor and his office
