Patient Reviews
May 28, 2025
I am grateful to Dr. Kai-Ming Fu’s surgery for my back pain surgery. I had had back and sciatic pain in both legs more than 5 years with random acute pain, but after the surgery by Dr. Fu, those pains have gone, and I am happily regaining normal activities and hobbies. Dr. Fu is highly experienced, and I truly believe he deserves to be listed as the best surgeon in Neurological doctors. Mary Wright (NP), one of Dr. Fu's assistants, is highly professional, and provided me with further explanations for pre- and post-surgery, also other care team members in hospital are all professional and caring. I had an amazing experience with Dr. Fu and his team.
