Patient Reviews
Jun 12, 2024
Dr. Chua has performed 2 surgeries on my spine. Both were done over 14 years ago; I have full range of motion of my cervical spine, where he fused 3 vertebrae due to a sudden disc rupture; then he fused my L4-L5 vertebrae which had been a more chronic issue. I have not had a twinge of pain after both surgeries. In addition, he is a kind, compassionate doctor who goes out of his way to say hello if I run into him in public.
