Dr. Kwon is excellent. She is always prepared for our appointments. She listens to me, she asks questions, she gives me time to ask questions, she explains my options. She has helped me tremendously with an injury.

I was cut off 3 x by provider (when I tried to bring up pain). I was told "my time is precious as is yours". I tried 3x to make a 5 word sentence. As a nurse, I know sticking to a schedule is important, but truly if a person can't make one single important statement regarding how their pain meds are/are not working-that is nuts! She made no effort to learn ANY thing about me, my lifestyle, my goals in functioning.

Honestly, Dr. Kwon was one of the best I've ever seen. I really felt heard and understood. She seemed to actually care about me even though we'd just met. Im excited to see her again next week for the results of my MRI and get the next steps going.

I can't say enough about Dr Kwon. I've seen a lot of spine doctors and I have never been treated with more respect and kindness. She answered all questions. I only saw her because my regular Dr was out of town. I did drive 30 plus minutes further than my regular location. Worth the drive. Will see her again.

I was referred for a specific procedure, but Dr said it was not even possible for my condition. So why was I referred by another provider in the practice? Dr was distracted and checked her smart watch for calls/alerts multiple times during the visit.

Dr. Kwon was excellent. She knew my medical history, discussed treatment options, answered my questions, and included me in the decision making. She treated me with respect and listened to me. She is very knowledgeable, professional, and kind.

The only reason this provider gets a 9 instead of 10 is a somewhat frenetic air which, while there is time provided for clear discussion and questions, leaves me speaking more quickly than usual and feeling that I need to rush through all explanations.
