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.

FAQ About Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery

Robotic-assisted surgery uses computer systems to guide tools. It helps surgeons work with more precision and safety.
The surgeon makes one or more small cuts and uses tools or tiny cameras to reach the affected part of your spine. Imaging systems help guide the tools so the surgeon can treat the problem with precision.
All surgeries have risks. Possible risks include bleeding, infection, nerve injury, blood clots, reactions to anesthesia, and in rare cases needing another procedure.
Most patients do recover faster after minimally invasive surgery. Hospital stay may be shorter, and many people return to light activities sooner than they would after open surgery.
