Dr Wong is an amazing Surgeon who was very thorough and explained in detail what my condition was and what to expect from surgeryPosted on Brian YoshiokaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr. Wong has been helping me with sciatica issues for a long time. He’s very thoughtful with his care and I appreciate his thoroughness. My pain is much more manageable and he’s a big reason. Thank you Dr. Wong!Posted on Lugh PowersTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr. Wong and his team, both office and surgical, have earned my highest recommendation. I would put myself and my loved ones in his care without hesitation. He has my gratitude and unwavering endorsement for helping to return me to my previously active and pain-free quality of life. I went to Dr Wong based on a recommendation from a very satisfied patient of his concerning issues that I was having in my neck, arms, hands, and fingers. He was able to identify that I was suffering from the effects of two damaged/degenerating discs in my neck (c5-c6 and c6-c7) which had left me experiencing numbness, tingling, and a measurable loss of grip strength in both hands (especially the right hand). I also was experiencing a medium to severe level of general neck pain, with an audible crackling sound when I would turn my head in either direction from shoulder to shoulder. The worst symptom of this issue was the continual medium grade headache with pain radiating from the back of my neck, up and around my head settling over my eyes. This headache impacted my ability to concentrate and sleep. The totality of this was a degraded quality of life and a lessened ability to be creative and effective while working (I am a Picture Editor) We worked out a plan of surgery and physical therapy to resolve the issues in the most effective and least invasive way possible and proceeded ahead with a two-level disc replacement to be performed at the Docs-Spine Surgical office as an out-patient procedure. The surgical staff, office team, and Dr. Wong himself were caring and supportive throughout the entire process, from pre-surgery, surgery, and post-surgery. Dr. Wong made certain that I was clear on what we were doing, how we were doing it, and what the expected outcome would be. Upon arrival at the Docs Spine Surgical facility, I was immediately cared for by an outstanding team of pre-operation nurses and attendants, and Dr. Wong once again went over the procedure and expectations for the results of the surgery. Here is my experience upon awakening from anesthesia in the recovery room: Headache – gone. Numbness and tingling in my hands and fingers – gone. Neck Pain – gone with mild muscular discomfort in the right trapezius muscle. Total awareness and connection to my upper body, arms, and hands – fully returned. Oddly, the degradation of this connection was so gradual that I was not even aware that I had been losing it until it returned post-surgery. Mild post-surgical discomfort diminished within a week. This discomfort was nothing compared to the actual pain I was experiencing from my neck pre-surgery. Home the same day as surgery, resting comfortably. Results from day of surgery to 4 weeks including physical therapy: Full return of feeling in my arms, hands, and fingers with a return of mobility and grip strength to measurably normal levels. Coordination and finger dexterity have returned to normal. After-care attention and follow-up have been exceptional. Thank you again to Dr. Wong and his team.Posted on N8 NORMALLTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Miracle worker!Posted on Orr AutoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr. Wong brought me out of the depths of hell with no where else to turn he took on my case which was botched by other surgeons several times. He came up with a pedical screws strategy c2-t3 posterior fusion as our best chance of success. While I thought it was a lot to do, agreed as the pain and I lost use of 1 hand had me in an almost permanent state of ideation. This was my 5th neck surgery and he was 4th surgeon on board which data by it self seems to signal that there is little chance of success. 1 year later I am doing well with about 45 degree rotation on both sides. I was able to travel with my family all over the U.S. and see New York for the first time. Still a lot of occupational therapy and such to go but I feel I have been given another lease on life. Before this I watched tons of Seattle science foundation on YouTube to try and get the best understanding of the procedure. I traveled between 1 hour and 2 hours with traffic but it was all worth I would travel many more if needed. If you do not have your health you do not have life. A big thank you to him and his colleagues I also went to their surgical center which was a wonderful my wife was able to stay they would make really good custom meals and smoothies. Do not wait like I did to find such a well qualified caring surgeon whether a second opinion or third give him a visit. My feeling is if he did my first surgery I would not of found myself having all these other ones.
- FAQs
Spine Surgery FAQ
Find answers to common questions about spine surgery procedures, recovery, and what to expect during your care journey.
Minimally invasive spine surgery uses small incisions (typically less than 1 inch) and specialized instruments to access the spine. This approach results in less muscle damage, reduced blood loss, shorter hospital stays, and faster recovery compared to traditional open surgery. Most patients experience significantly less post-operative pain.
Recovery time varies depending on the specific procedure. Many minimally invasive surgeries allow patients to return home the same day or within 24 hours. Most patients can resume light activities within 2-4 weeks and return to full activity within 6-12 weeks. Dr. Wong provides personalized recovery timelines during your consultation.
Robotic spine surgery is suitable for many spinal conditions including herniated discs, spinal stenosis, degenerative disc disease, and spinal deformities. During your consultation, Dr. Wong will evaluate your specific condition, review imaging studies, and determine if robotic-assisted surgery is the optimal approach for your situation.
Dr. Wong treats a comprehensive range of spine conditions including herniated discs, spinal stenosis, degenerative disc disease, spondylolisthesis, spinal fractures, sciatica, failed back surgery syndrome, and spinal tumors. He specializes in both cervical (neck) and lumbar (lower back) conditions.
Artificial disc replacement is an alternative to spinal fusion that preserves motion at the treated level. A damaged disc is removed and replaced with an artificial device that mimics natural disc function. This can help prevent the development of adjacent segment disease that sometimes occurs after fusion surgery.
Preparation includes pre-operative testing, medication adjustments, and following specific instructions about eating and drinking before surgery. Dr. Wong's team provides comprehensive pre-operative instructions and is available to answer any questions. Stopping smoking and optimizing overall health before surgery improves outcomes.
