SHERWIN HUA, MD - DIMESPINE NEUROSURGERY, INC. REVIEWS
Dr. Hua operated on my wife a year ago, today. She had two bulging disks in her neck and needed a multi-layer disk replacement. Although we were initially apprehensive about the serious nature of the surgery, Dr. Hua's wonderful manner and competence put us at ease, and gave us assurance that all would turn out alright. He told us exactly what he was going to do, how it would be done and answered all of our questions, patiently and completely. The operation was done without any problems. It lasted over five hours, and Dr. Hua was able to replace the damaged disks with titanium replacements, that will serve my wife for the rest of her life. The doctor employed a minimally-invasive surgery technique that left an almost unnoticeable dime-sized scar on my wife's neck and aided in her recovery. Dr. Hua's after-care was comprehensive, and he was diligent and attentive through the months of physical therapy and rehabilitation. He monitored my wife's progress and sincerely cared about how she was recovering. A year later, my wife feels like she has a new neck! The constant pain and pressure she felt prior to the surgery have gone, and she has full flexibility in the area. Thank you Dr. Hua for your skill, dedication and care. We will forever be grateful to you and your team!
I am struck by how polite and considerate employees are- both to the public and each other. This is unusual in such a setting. It speaks well to their culture. Also, very clean and organized. Impressive.
Dr. Hua is amazing and very friendly. I've suffered from the neck pain for few years and he recommended me for the artificial disc replacement surgery. When I woke up from the surgery, my severe pain was gone. It's been only week since surgery and I can pretty much do everything without severe pain. He is just AMAZING and I am very LUCKY. And also his assistant Kate is very professional and friendly as well. Huge appreciation to Kate and Dr. Hua for taking care of me. I strongly recommend Dr. Hua for anyone who has back and neck pain.

JEFFREY B. RANDALL, MD REVIEWS
I recently had spinal surgery for persistent sciatica with Dr. Jeffrey Randall of Pacific Brain and Spine Medical Group. The whole process from start to finish was excellent, despite an unexpected wait because of the shutdown of elective surgeries due to COVID. In our initial meeting just before the shelter-at-home lockdown, Dr. Randall was friendly, personable, informative, and clear. He answered all of our questions and felt confident surgery would resolve my problem without pushing me to have surgery. The office staff were communicative during the trying time before surgeries were once again allowed, and the hospital and nursing staff were excellent in the preparation and post-op periods. The surgery itself was done as an outpatient; it was amazingly pain and trouble-free and I could walk without leg pain or numbness immediately afterward and ever since. It feels almost like a miracle, and I look forward to many more years of hiking. I want to thank Dr. Randall and his staff for their excellent care!
I often read reviews on doctors. I have never written any reviews. Dr Randall is the absolute best doctor I have seen....and I am picky. He is able to evaluate and give you the chance to make your own decisions based on his opinion. His expertise is terrific. Beside manner....before, during and after is great. I am pain free and experiencing a new life.
Went for a second opinion after a surgeon recommended a 3-level lumbar fusion. Dr. Randall proposed a much more conservative surgery, performed it and I am pain-free. Dr. Randall is also warm, kind and a terrific teacher: he will explain precisely what he thinks the problem is and how he proposes to address it. Couldn't ask for more in a surgeon. Staff is great too
Seventeen days ago, Dr.Randall operated on me at Eden Hospital. The procedure was an L4-L5 fusion. The whole experience from my initial meeting with him to follow-up after surgery has been excellent. Dr. Randall took his time with me, answering all of my questions thoroughly. Over the many years that I suffered from lower back pain I had consulted three other neurosurgeons before coming to Dr. Randall. The others did not even compare. Dr. Randall's reputation as an excellent surgeon and the calming, respectful manner with which he treated me made me confident I had found the right doctor and confident to finally go ahead with the fusion. The surgery went very well, and Dr. Randall checked in with me often, prior to and following the surgery. My recovery is already going far, far better than I ever expected it would. I was walking 3 1/2 miles, pain free, 7 days after coming home from the hospital. Truly life changing. Thank you, Dr. Randall.
