“I appreciate that Dr. Kwak never rushes me. He takes the time to explain my issues and what he can do to fix them and help relieve the pain.”
– Rodney W.
“My experience with Dr. Kwak and all his care teams has been exceptional, from his pre-operative team at SCOI to the surgical team at the surgical center and the post-operative experience with the "Get-well" App. This was my first surgery. From the beginning through pre-op, the surgery itself, and the post-operative experience, I always felt that I was in good hands and well cared for. Dr. Kwak's communication was always very clear, and I was never without having my questions or concerns answered. I wouldn't hesitate for a minute to recommend Dr. Kwak to anyone in need of his specialty skills. He came highly recommended by my UCLA physician, and I was so grateful for the entire experience. I'm still recovering, but I'm clearly on a better trajectory than before my surgery. I hope this recommendation for Dr. Kwak will be helpful to someone like me who needs a spectacular surgeon like Dr. Kwak. He's top-notch.”
– Mark B.
“Dr. Kwak is professional and very personable. He makes you feel like you are his only patient. He is an absolutely great guy.”
– Mike D.
“Dr. Kwak was personable and introduced himself immediately, which I like when I meet any new practitioner. He was friendly and smiled. He did not seem or act rushed or impatient. He gave me adequate time and attention to my physical exam, checked for pain points, and asked questions. Regarding the X-ray images, he explained what he was seeing, answered a few questions I had directly, and told me he would recommend that I see a back specialist based on what the images indicated to his practiced eye. This was also entirely professional and not just ignoring an area that wasn't his "specific or specialty" area. Before leaving the room, he asked if I had any additional questions, which I appreciated, and then he left, again, not seeming rushed. I have always felt valued by any staff I have seen or interacted with at Southern California Orthopedic Institute, and Dr. Kwak was no exception.”
– Julie F.

“As referred by my primary physician, I went to Dr. Kwak's office for the knee and shoulder pain I have been experiencing for a while. After we took X-rays, Dr. Kwak diagnosed the issue and referred me to the PT team. I started treatment, and now I can go up and down stairs and move my shoulders a little more. It has been the best treatment I have ever had.”
