Edward Song, M.D.

A bit ‘stiff’ but overlook-able in light of his skill

I don't think the doctor even listened to a word I had to say and I was pushed out the door before my appointment time even began.

Dr. Song is a very kind and caring man. He explains what you need to know. I trust him to always do what's best for me.

Dr. Song is very friendly, welcoming and to the point. This was my first visit and he was way more than what I was expecting.

I was not impressed at all! He was short with his answers and offered no help, but forwarded me to another Dr. He had no interest in me

Excellent communicator and listens well

I felt our visit was very rushed. I had to interject my questions several times, before he was off to the next patient. My list of medications is not accurate even though I verified and added via the online check in link.

Thorough, knowledgeable and to the point Describes situation Recommends alternative treatments

Didn’t seem to care about my specific condition. He was very quick to pass me on to another doctor… so he could move on to another patient.

Dr Song is an excellent doctor. I have been to him before and he always finds the problem. If it’s fixable he can do it.

I will see if the pain finally goes away from the surgery. I meet with his PA-C on the 8th. I have several questions that concern me

Very thorough, went over all possibilities and recovery timeline. Went over MRI in depth and explained everything so I understood it.

great

Doctor Song is truly a blessing to his practice.

Nice visit

Dr. Song treats you like family. He takes the time to listen to you and doesn’t rush your appointment. I would not trust anyone else to do surgery on me. I have had three back surgeries and one neck surgery

Dr song Was very nice and professional

He's great he doesn't beat around the bush gets right to the problem

Extremely proficient surgeon..very thorough explanations..great bedside manner…great follow up. Love him to death and highly recommend

Great Doctor very professional

Great Dr explains why he's doing needed surgery. Checks to see your doing well.

Truly cares about his patients well being

fantastic listener and truly cares about my physical & medical needs. I feel very blessed to have met Doctor Song!!!

Very thorough and caring. He fused several cervical vertabrae. And now the lumbars need fusing.

After driving a considerable distance answering mounds of questions, Mr Song left without seeing me. Met with his PA.

I just wish he would have not rushed in and out some people have questions. But l know he is a good Dr .

Extremely prompt and courteous. Provided me with next steps and suggestions for testing and physical therapy .

Dr. Song is the best! Caring, compassionate and extremely knowledgeable. He listens and takes the time necessary. He does not rush the appointment and thoroughly explains things to where you don’t need a degree to understand. I highly recommend Dr. Song!

Always professional very concerned about my progress. always willing to go the extra mile for my case. the office and the staff are very good to me.

Very efficient. Professional. Confident. Trustworthy. Kind. He and his staff should teach other medical professionals how to efficiently run a busy practice. Everyone I came in contact with had a smile and a good attitude. That’s rare.

Dr Song and his staff are so compassionate and understanding. They listen to you and explain the issues so you understand. Dr Song also shows you the imaging and explains your conditions. He is conservative in his treatment and gives you options. Well deserved 5 stars!

Great doctor! As time goes on he is getting more personable and will explain my questions. Really like him, good guy!

Initial appointment was excellent. Dr. Song went through all test results and explained everything thoroughly. He immediately had a plan of action and fully explained the procedure and expectations.

Dr. Song is very thorough! He is easy to understand.

Hopefully a resolution thank you

Too short appointment

To wait 6 weeks for a 30 second appointment is bull. Will seek another, somewhere else.

He is the best doctor ever. His patient skills are above board. He kept very well informed after surgery and followed my progress. Just love him

Supportive, honest, presented options

Thorough, takes time to explain things clearly and concisely to patients.

Dr. Song is the only surgeon whom I would choose to perform surgery on my spine. He is meticulous in every way.

All business and I didn't feel as though he cared and was ready to move on to next patient.

On time! Very professional! Quick X-rays! Friendly staff! Would recommend!

Very personable and such a good surgeon.

1st visit. Very thorough in assessing my condition. So far, so good.

This Dr was completely uncaring, dismissive, unprofessional, unfriendly & not thorough regarding my Healthcare needs duringy initial consultation. I Felt Luke he just didn't care to help preexisting conditions that are there but he medical gaslighted referring me out to another specialty. Very disappointed and a waste of my time he mistreated a Veteran on this way.

Honest, efficient.

Dr Song is an excellent doctor

Dr Song did an excellent job with my back surgery. He is very confident, very straight forward, and very exact. I feel I found the best surgeon for my needs in Arizona!

I feel very comfortable with Dr. Song for my upcoming surgery. He explained everything in detail and answered all of my questions.

I've had several neck / back surgeries over the years with different surgeons and Doctor Song is one of the best, He's professional, knowledgeable, thorough in his examination, looks at other options before surgery, detailed in explaining what to expect from surgery, and follows-up after surgery. In addition, he has an excellent staff and I highly recommend him.

Very professional and informative. I am so glad my Physician recommended him and not I know why. He was very honest, which I appreciated.

Great doctor

In and out. We reached a decision on treatment in just a few minutes utes. He has a full understanding of the problems we have and is ready to repair, fix whatever it is.

Let's you ask guestions and answers them in a way that you understand

Took his time with me and explained my problems and what the future might be like.

Good communication, clear and compassionate.

His patience skill is off the chart.

Dr seemed to rush me out the door and did not explain much to me. Just - get an MRI and go to PT

Excellent back surgeon. Caring and professional and gets to root of the problem.

I was impressed with this personable physician. He was very easy to talk with and he listened carefully. Bravo!

Dr Song was very thorough in explaining the issues in my back. He was clear and straightforward.

Great appt. On time and very efficient with explaining my issues and treatment options.

Dr. Song is fantastic! My wife and I were really impressed with his concerns with my back and spine.

He was personable, and knowledgeable. I appreciate his honest evaluation of my problem and good advice.

Very professional, explains everything thoroughly, and has excellent communication skills.

fast and efficient doctor and staff Checked in and x-rayed in under 30 min,

Nothing today the best

Wonderful experience. Great physician, very caring and professional.

Very detailed when explaining what is going on and in regard to the procedure.

I like Dr. Song alot, but he just doesn't spend much time with me. I know he's busy and I appreciate it, but he does things too fast.

Liked his thorough discussion of surgery and he listened to questions. Caring and genuine personality.

Very thorough and informative!!

He listened and explain things in a way I could understand. He took notes and was very engaged and genuinely concerned about my condition. I’m in good hands with him.

He is an excellent surgeon, has done 4 of my surgeries, highly recommend

I was put in an exam room at 2;35 FOR MY 2;30 appt. At 3;3 I WAS STILL WAITING with no one ever checking in on me. I finally opened the door to inquire whaqt was the problem as I was waitig that long. I was told they were running behind and rudely told that I was not the only person waiting. I left and demanded my co-pay back. I have seen ther last ofOrtho Az

Awesome doctor

Dr Song explained all the issues with my back and neck.. I was able to understand his suggestions and he suggested physical therapy for my muscle strength until I make my decision

Very caring

Outstanding Surgeon and very kind & caring person..

Dr. Song was very professional and knowledgeable specific to my issue and helped to guide me to a positive resolution.

Sadly he was unable to help me because evidently my problem is not in my spine. But he is one of many other physicians who is unable to address my pain problem.

Excellent surgeon. Operation was total sucsess..

Very nice professional man. Very smooth running staff .

Tells it like it is and it is what it is. Easy to talk with. Explained hi opinion well and I left with hope which is better than nothing. Hopefully he'll suggest treatment options.

Every appointment with Dr. Song is a pleasure. He’s professional, but also extremely kind and empathetic l. He doesn’t try to push surgery or medication. He’s truly a genuine human being. Thank you Dr. Song and team?? I appreciate you all!

Very knowledgeable, explains in a very understanding way.

He is the best doctor I have ever had!! Cares about his patients!

He seems like a very efficient and knowledgeable Doctor. Did his best to answer all my questions.

Highly recommend and trust Dr. Song.

He explains everything well and makes sure that I understand before I make a decision.

Dr Song fused 2 of my vertebrae over a decade ago. His evaluation and the surgery were both extremely well done. I’ve just seen him again due to new spinal trauma and symptoms. Truly a first rate specialist.

Great surgeon but doesn’t visit much always in a hurry

Very nice doctor

Listened attentively and answered all of my concerns . We spoke about options and he did not pressure surgery.

Only met him once but I liked him and he was very kind and helpful.

I love that he is so friendly and takes time to answer my questions.

Personable and professional.

Great personality and very informative.

Very knowledgeable, had concerns so sent me for a second opinion.

Dr. Song was very polite like all the OrthoAZ employees at both locations have been. He was also very honest and didn’t try to force any surgeries or any other medications on me like other specialists have. I highly recommend him, he listens and truly cares about his patients.

I had a very good experience. Thank you Dr. Song

Dr. Song.

Dr. Song is wonderful. He explains everything and reassures you. Great bedside manners. 👍🏻😊

Went to my pre op with Dr Song and he patiently listened to and answered all my questions. I feel I am fully prepared. I love OrthoArizona.

He explained every detail and answered every one of my questions. Not many Drs are willing or have the ability to connect with patients in this manner nowadays.

Dr Song is a highly skilled surgeon and I couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome of my difficult lumbar procedures. I feel grateful to have had such great care.

Slam bam thank you ma’am. He can’t do surgery on me so no time for me;Bye bye. I was really counting on him for help. To be fair he got me a back brace and tried to get me in to a colleague for surgery. It didn’t work.

Dr. Song takes time with patients explaining every detail of a surgery Answered all questions thoroughly Highly recommend him to others

He took the time to show me my x-rays and tell me what my pain was coming from in my spine.

My doctor my friend really looks out for me helping me going forward to healing I definitely deeply appreciate him and sodas my family

I made it emphatically clear I did NOT want a spinal operation but schedule a spinal injection.at the outset. After six weeks , needless meeting with two physicians and co-pays I was handed a sheet of paper referring me to a doctor who does exactly what I had asked for initially. Wake up, you only successfully waisted a lot of time unnecessarily. Shame on your organizational incompetents' !!!

Straight shooter. Didn't recommend surgery when I didn't need it, and instead gave me a recommendation for some pain management doctors for when I have flare-up with my back. I really appreciated that honesty and practical advise.

Described what we need to do and getting me set up with Dr Hatch

Dr. Song, is a wonderful doctor and I trust him .

Dr Song is very knowledgeable about numerous Orthopedic situations. His consultation with us and his association of other practicing physicians helped us to understand our choices and limitations for our future medical care

He acknowledged the surgeries I needed, finally a surgeon listen to me and saw the MRI results. I am very thankful

Very nice. Only saw him for a few minutes but scheduled another appointment.

Very proffesional and provided options to treat the problem which made sense.

Answered all questions. Working on solution for me.

Very professional.

I really trust Dr Song! Excellent doctor!

The appointment was very quick.

Very personable an understanding my issue

Excellent Doctor. I am confident my surgery will be a success.

I felt very rushed during my appointment with Dr. Song. By the time the appointment was over, I had more unanswered questions. He was probably in and out within 3-5 minutes.

Great consultation as long as I’m feeling good no surgery. Thank you!!

dr. song was very professional, caring, informative and open to questions/concerns.

well versed, received good information and was very pleasant to talk too.

Dr Song is an excellent surgeon. He takes the time to explain things fully. His staff is courteous and professional. I trust Dr Song completely.

Really sharp, very experienced. A great visit.

Dr. Song was very kind and walked me through all scenarios for my back pain. I believe I am in good hands for my upcoming surgery.

Dr. Song Was so professional and made me feel very comfortable. Dr. song is amazing!!!

Let me just say this. I have dealt with lumbar back pain for 22 years. I had a 3-level microdiscectomy in 2000. I have been on narcotics to manage that pain for 22 years. I have resisted spinal fusions for 15 years due to fears of experiencing any of the negative outcomes I had heard about. Then, one day, a good friend told me about his experience with Dr. Song. So, I went to visit with him and he gave me my options. That was 3 years ago. This past May, I went back and told Dr. Song, "I am ready to do this." And 4 months later, I was in a surgical center. Fast forward 60 days later. I am OFF the drugs. I FEEL FANTASTIC. My pain level is a 1 - it hasn't been below a "6" in 9 years!!! Today, I thanked Dr. Song for his work. For giving me my life back. I understand the skepticism, trust me, I do. But when you are ready, go see Dr. Song. You will NOT regret it.

Dr Song is friendly and listens to my problems. I have had two surgery’s and would recommend him to everyone.

Great surgeon and does a great job of giving you the options for treatment along with risks

Very to the point and sincere. I liked him from day one.

Well regarded by other physicians. Very professional; obviously an expert in his field.

Took time with me. Explained to me where the problem was. Will need follow-up after further testing

Excellent knowledge and shows the patient what he sees.

Thank you!

Dr. Song was kind and very professional.

Professional, knowledgeable, and friendly.

Dr. Song is professional, listened to my problems, explained options/plan of repair, and answered my questions. The entire staff was also very friendly.

Very concise and to the point.

Dr Song was informative about my situation and discussed the options there were which helped myself decide my best option.

Very knowledgeable, personable, and reassuring. Also was able to see me earlier than scheduled.

Competent, concerned, thorough and decisive. Thank you, Sir.

I’m first visit I was in and out very fast Dr song was awesome

The Best Doctor I have ever saw.

First visit was very likable and professional

Very good t what he does.

Dr. Song was very nice & helpful. He`s looking to get in touch with another Dr. I`m hoping all will be good.

Very thorough, professional and detailed in his explanation of my options.

Dr. Song seemed very rushed; in fact he stood up and opened the door when I was still talking. I needed an injection in my hip, but rather than give it to me during my appointment, I had to make an appointment with Jennifer and wait 16 more days!! I did not feel valued or taken care of. I have been a patient of Dr. Bryce and had an entirely different experience. He’s caring, he listens, and never made it seem rushed!

Dr.Song is very kind & caring. I'm glad his my Dr.

Made eye contact when he spoke to me and listened to my concerns.

Professional and knowledgeable Helped me understand what my health situation is and did not cause anxiety Would recommend the doctor to my friends

I felt very comfortable at my meeting with Dr. song this morning. He is a very humble man which is a VERY RARE thing these days!! If I do decide to have surgery it would give me great peace to know that God and Dr. Song would be in control. Thank you Dr. Song… God Bless!

Very caring physician and excellent surgeon. Always listens to patient concerns.

So impressed with Dr Song Honest and upfront and have full confidence in his treatment plan

I went to a supposedly specialist because I needed answers, I was told many people live with much worse pain than what I might be experiencing. He told me to go to physical therapy, I didn’t need a specialist for that kind of advice. I took a disk from an MRI, I don’t believe, I don’t feel that he looked at the disc and actually saw the condition of my neck. Either way I won’t be seeing Mr. song again !

Thoughtful, thorough and efficient. Very knowledgeable and accurate with diagnosis and course of treatment. I highly recommend for the most difficult and urgent of cases.

Always exceptional.

Best surgeon ever!!

Explained everything so I could understand .

Very good surgeon Not much of a talker though

No bedside manner. Been seeing him For over a year now and back to square one. So frustrating.

I had gotten addition positive experience with Dr Song ! His boldness gave me faithfulness in himself . Thank you for finding him !!

Very good surgeon. Knows what you need and gets the job done. Very personable.

Dr. Song is the best.

Outstanding

Explained care very well

Righto the point, but verty coodial

Didin't push for sergery.

I appreciated Dr. Song's professional manner. He was direct with his diagnosis and suggested I get a second opinion due to the seriousness of my situation.

Love that he takes a conservative approach. Explains everything well.

Arrived early for my appointment but was seen within 5 minutes. He discussed my situation, gave me information and some options. First time meeting him but he is professional and likeable.

pleasant and professional is direct and doesn't waste time

Thanks

Very personable!

Excellent doctor! Professional, courteous, asked questions, LISTENED to my response, understood my problem, and cares about my needs in the process to fix the problem. Can't ask for anything better.

Dr. Song was very personable, and explained things concerning my care very thoroughly.

Appointment was rushed and the Doctor got angry when I tried to ask a question. I will never make an appointment with this doctor again.

It was good to see Dr Song, I have all confidence in my care. Thank you, Dr Song and staff. Love ya’ll, Roderick Sharp

Excellent. Explained the issue with my back.

Dr. Song is an excellent surgeon and shows great care for the well-being of the patient. I am very happy with how my surgery went and will recommend him to everyone who needs spinal care.

Kind, Knowledgeable, and great surgical skills.

Knowledgeable, Informative, Sincere. Took time to explain diagnosis. Listened and acknowledged my concerns. Felt comfortable with him.

HAVE THE HIGHEST RESPECT FOR DR. SONG!

I liked him, but he seems like he is very busy. I hope some additional help can be made available for him. That would make the experience better for everyone.

A great doctor

Quick, which I like, but more importantly he was clear and concise. He entire team was delightful and helpful.

Carefully checked my records listened to me carefully. Very satisfied.

Straight forward. Answers questions so I could understand. Made sure I understood what could happen and the length of time of surgery if it came to that.

Dr. Song is open and forthcoming in his approach. He inspires confidence by his watchful and deliberate methodology.

Listens well, thorough explanations of condition, describes options and took the time to allow me to summarize what I heard. A true professional.

Very clear as to what needs to be done...very specific and straight to the point....

Everyone in the office was great.

Dr Song was Very friendly & easy to talk to. He Explained my condition to me & needed surgery. I feel very confident in him.

Polite and took time to explain things to me

Great Dr. my back fusion went so well, out and about walking the next day! My original pain is gone!

efficient, knowledgeable, but i felt "rushed".

Dr. Song was straight forward and to the point. He went over my test results and discussed what the next steps were. I wish he would’ve spent a little more time with me, but overall he was great.

Trustworthy, knowledgeable and compassionate.

Dr. Song was so kind and took time to explain exactly what was going on. He was comforting to my concerns and was very knowledgeable. I would recommend him to anyone!

My diagnosis was not good. However Doctor Song was kind and delivered the news gracefully and offered PT as the best option.

A wonderful doctor

The only doctor that acknowledged I needed more treatment. Dr Song referred me to a dr that can handle all of my needs instead of seeing 5 different drs. Thank You

most professional and caring dr. I have ever had

Dr song was thorough in explain ing recovery

Dr Song was timely, professional and gave us a couple options to consider.

He’s so nice and doesn’t like to rush into surgery if it can be treated any other way first.

He is a good cross between compassionate and surgeon. Very, through and detailed. A very good combo.

Dr. Song has been my Orthopedic for 8-years and I've never had a doctor that had better patient skills

Nice and informative. Look forward to the follow up.

Very nice and personal. Honest in his evaluation of my back pain.

A doctor that actually listens!!

Dr. Song was very pleasant and informative. He showed me my MRI on a screen and explained clearly what was wrong and what he would recommend. He explained the surgical procedure and the recovery period.

Very courteous. He apologized for running late. Apparently the computers crashed several times. Very professional, listened to my concerns and was clear when explaining what needed to be done.

Kind and confident, good listener, I trust his diagnosis and plan for healing.

I like him but felt rushed with my appt. I know they only get a certain amount of time with patients cuz of insurance but needs to ask the patient

Always professional. Knows what he is talking about. Makes no decisions for you. Gives you the results your options and then you let him know which way you want to go.

Dr. Song performed an ACDF surgery on me without any complications and with very little pain. Very satisfied with my outcome.

In and out as always, great staff, love Dr. Song. Very professional.

Doctor song answered all my ???

Looking forward to getting my back a little stronger. The doc assured me that he wood work to get my back on track after my knee surgery.

This man saved me from ending up in a Wheelchair. He fixed my neck and he fixed my back. Best orthopedic surgeon that I ever met. And he is a wonderful Person on top of that.

Didn't review any paperwork I completed with symptoms, areas affected & level of pain. Didn't ask about lifestyle or effects back pain is having on day-to-day functioning. Didn't feel very thorough for an initial exam.

Dr Song was very thorough and answered all my questions!

I'd give him a five, but I waited too long in the waiting room to see him. Waited 1/2 hour after my x-rays for a 8 minute appointment.

Dr. Song was very attentive to my situation with my back. He and was able to quickly identify an issue with the use of an x-ray that has been ongoing for a few years now.

Very kind and gives you all the information you need to know to make a decision.

He’s my man love this man

Felt rushed and nothing I said was listened too. But I am workman’s comp so my care might be focused primarily getting me back to work

Dr. Song is the best and has my complete confidence.

Dr Song saved me from being in a wheelchair by performing back surgery. It was successful and im on the long road to recovery.

Best surgeon I’ve ever had and I’ve had 16-17 surgeries! Feel mucho better!

Dr Song is an excellent surgeon. He sometimes is lacking in relating to his patients.

Great Doctor very helpful listens to what my concerns are.

Feel confident in my care with this Dr.

Amazing Doctor, from the 1st appt until the follow up after surgery appts!

GOD HAS BLESSED DR SONG WITH GRACE, TALENT AS A SURGEON, COMPASSION & PROFESSIONALISM. I TRULY RESPECT AND FEEL VERY CONFIDENT WITH MY UPCOMING BACK SURGERY.

Dr. Song is amazing. He is very thorough and listens. His staff is also wonderful

Less than two minute conversation unable to ask any questions .

As always Dr Song is involved with my recovery it’s been 7 months Post Op I’m very happy with the out come I’m back to work and living my life. I would recommend Dr Song he’s an great surgeon

Very thorough and patient-oriented

Explained everything that was easy to understand. Very helpful in referring me to another Dr. for pain management.

He explained my problem and needing surgery very clearly. Gave me all the options and we discussed the surgery. I was very comfortable with his explanations.

Wouldn’t think of going anywhere but OrthoArizona!

Every open and straight forward...

Doc is good, system leaves a lot to be desired as far as wasted time and lack of attention to Detail.

Dr. Song is the best. He repaired a neck fusion from a number of years ago that I had from another surgeon, not in Arizona. It was a complicated surgery and I am better than new. His bedside manner is superb, you can ask him anything and he will explain.

Very nice and thorough.

Very good at explaining details.

Very thorough and very proficient Eccentric choice

Very pleased with the work and results achieved

A very honest assessment of our situation.

Very professional and gifted surgeon who always tells you the best solution.

I came to OrthoArizona for back pain and Dr. Song did a great job in taking care of my lower back pain by going to Physical Therapy.

So Far so good lets see how surgery Goes and proof is in the pudding !!

No positive response

Great people skills. Had back surgery with him.

I had my first surgery with Dr. Song two years ago. The results were exactly what he said they would be. I was super pleased with him and his entire staff. Unfortunately i am having a second surgery for a different issue in a couple of days. I did not hesitate to have Dr. Song do my second surgery. They are all amazing!!!

He was patient with me & seemed to care. He explained my options & answered all my questions.

He described my problem thoroughly and made me feel comfortable about surgery.

Dr. Song has proved to be an exceptional doctor, on my first back surgery, and now on my L4-L5 fusion. John O

Doctor Song is amazing. He listened to me and was the first doctor in almost a decade to take my pain seriously and give me an actual solution instead of just “kicking the can down the road” so to speak. He found a problem in my back that other doctors had ignored/not been able to diagnose and was able to fix it with surgery. Even after surgery when I developed blood clots he took them seriously and referred me to other specialists to rule out any additional problems. He isn’t the stereotypical “slice and dice” surgeon, but he actually cared for me as a patient and a person. I highly recommend him for anyone who needs a spinal surgeon, he is skilled, kind, and caring.

He is an excellent back surgeon. Be prepared with questions on visits. Ask questions, if not, your visit will be short, sweet and to the point. Not a social butterfly, but very informed and nice.

Aplus

Communicative and friendly.

Thank you

Perfect doc, has calming effect for patients

Bedside manner is the best. Explains situation and expected outcomes very well.

Very thorough and thoughtful

Dr Song spent all the time I needed during my visit. He was very clear in his vision for my recovery. He did not make any wild promises about pain free surgey, only truthful and in laymen’s terminology.

Not only was I impressed with the Dr. Song, the efficiency of the office and staff was excellent.

Ignored obvious major structural lumber damage, every other Dr I’ve seen said it was obvious.

He really cares about his patients

A kind and competent man.

Dr. Song listens to you! He's personal and he care's.

Personal and compassionate and willing to find the best situation for me.

He was arrogant and didn’t fully comprehend what I told him. He may be a competent surgeon but lacks people skills.

Dr. song may deserve five stars, but this is the first time I met him. He was very professional and very transparent when answering my questions and discussing with me my options

Excellent communicator! Thoroughly explains procedure. Shows care, and concern for his patients.

I did not see Dr. Song for my visit, but rather his PA Beth.

Had a great discussion on my pain and suggested path to better health.

Excellent surgeon! I would highly recommend this Dr!

GREAT DOCTOR AND SURGEON

Was seen right away. He came in to room promptly. Explain what was wrong and what tests that will be done and then from there plan of action.

Dr Song did a great job! Life is so much better since surgery.

Dr. Song explained the procedure he was going to do quite nicely. Plus the problems the problems that could occur. When I 1st met him it didn't seem as if he was listening to what I had to say and I was very disappointed back then. He must have had a very busy day. He seemed to change and now I'm more than confident he's the surgeon that I want to help fix my back. I can't wait for Dr. Song to do the procedure.

Dr. Song is extremely compassionate and carrying.

When i researched Ortho guys He just looked like the Right MD For me and now that i met him He was a Sharp Dr. ! Great 1st Impression .

Dr. song is personable, and caring. I had a very good experience during my evaluation. I would recommend him to all my friends and family.

Dr Song is such a great caring surgeon and listens too your concerns.

Dr Song truly cares about his patients

In a short period of time, provided a diagnosis from MRI and a solution for an injection. Said he would follow up with Doc who does this so will be ready when surgery centers open.

ABOSOLUTELY & TOTALLY confident in Dr. Song and his abilities! I'd give 10 stars, if I had the opportunity!

Very nice and professional

Excellent experience, thoughtful and concise in his explanations of diagnosis and possible solutionc

I felt rushed

Wanted to know the whole picture. Personable and professional.

Excellent demeanor and thoroughly explained my treatment options.

I wish your rating system went higher. Dr Song in Great. His bedside manner is 2nd only to his surgical skills !!!

Drr Song was great my back feels great

Short visit, but was attentive to my issues.

Great

Exceptional physician and a wonderful staff. God bless them

Waited over 1/2 in room before he came in and was there only 5 mins or less. He is pleasant

First visit, Dr Song clearly explained the options. In my case he recommended other treatments before Surgery. He said God heals people Doctors don’t.

He was on time, took the effort to explain things and was very friendly and informative.

I've enjoyed meeting Dr. Song and I believe he is an excellent physician providing good service and good medical advice.

He doesn't have a bedside manner. I get "straight to the point" but can I ask a question since it took me 2 days to get ready for the appointment. Between the wheelchair, spasms, scoliosis, incomplete paraplegia with severe nerve pain and the hassle to get ready and go, you might summize I would have a question about something other than Scoliosis. He was actually getting annoyed if I had a question. All he kept saying is "wait for the MRI results and then we can go from there. Who knows bad day

I had a really good experience with Dr. Song while going through a painful injury. My surgery experience was not at all what I had feared. Highly recommend Dr. Song!

very personable, explained what was wrong and what needed to be done

Doctors don't like to spend a lot of time with the patient which is what I didn't like. I had a ton more questions on my way home.

I had a 9:00am appointment and was there early but didn’t see doctor 10:15

I gave him this rating because in the course of our conversation while talking about getting ready for surgery I was made to feel like I was stupid. He was impatient with me and I feel that my concerns and questions weren't important enough to be heard.

Listens well

I VE HAD 2 PROCEDURES IN THE LAST 4 MONTHS AND DIDNT FIX MY ISSUE. ITS TAKEN 4 MONTHS OF MY LIFE PAIN AND ALOT

Wonderful Doctor. Listens well, super nice, asks questions to get to what the problem is. Explains everything to you so you can both make an educated decision.

Dr. Edward Song personifies excellence in his practice of medicine. He not only has expertise in his specialty, but also has excellent listening skills and treats his patients with respect. I highly recommend him for any orthopedic issues one may have.

I highly recommend Dr. Edward Song. He has performed 2 spine surgeries on me and I am very happy with the outcome on both. Excellent Dr and excellent staff!!

Formal, likeable, instructive, and a straight shooter. My kind of doctor.

I have had a really great experience.

My medical needs are difficult and I feel that more could be done if the Dr wanted to take the time. I feel I’m being very generous giving 4 stars.

Will be se3ing him again for a followup.

First visit. So far so good.

Dr. Song showed great concern and made good suggestions for recovery. Karl and Claudia Alder

Yes I like him and I’m praying for a positive outcome with my surgery

Dr. Song came HIGHLY recommended by many people we know. He’s going to do my husbands upcoming neck spinal fusion surgery and we are totally confident using Dr. Song!

It is nice to have a Doctorthat take the time to explains so you understands also listens to you. I respect and trust him

He is literally the best ortho doctor in Arizona!!

Love Dr Song. You may have a wait but he is wirth it. He dies amazing work.

Sat and waited for him to come in for 3 minutes for him to tell me he pas referring me somewhere else. This could hpve been done over the phone. I had my mri and waited 4 weeks in pain to be told he could do nothing, very poor service if you ask me. Since i started this at my 1st appt 9/26. I would not recommend him to anyone.

Dr Song gave me an easy to understand explanation of why I was experiencing neck pain. He did a good job explaining my options to me.

Dr. Was direct and to the point.

Good doctor. Courteous, knowledgeable and explains matter clearly.

Very professional, wonderful doctor.

Tells the whole store and what may happen

Impersonal, cold, unconcerned. I was in pain and needed help. He seemed just too hurried. Very little talk.

Very informative and professional.

Quick and accurate diagnosis.

He is very thorough and respectful.

Diagnosed a complex situation off an X-ray and got it wrong. No help at all. Didn’t even look at previous MRI or CT results.

Although he did do a ct scan and x-ray of my spine, I did not get the MRI that I was hoping for so that I could see if other discs in my lumbar were herniated or not. Because I have an artificial disc in my lumbar, Dr. Song said that any additional surgeries would be too risky for me, so there was no point in doing an MRI. He also said that based on the other imaging tests that there was nothing he could do for me. He was passively aggressively combative. Go somewhere else.

Excellent

I enjoyed him, straight shooter!!!

Not a good experience. Less than 5 minutes. Referred to pain specialist for steroid shot. Advised leaving town 2 weeks please prescribe medicine while on trip, he refused. . I won’t be scheduling a follow up. Why did I need a doctor appointment if all he did was read MRI and refer to another doctor. Oh and it’s 2 weeks before I can see pain doctor.

Dr was good. Did not appreciate told to check in at 3pm went back 315 sat till 330 pa came in dr came on around 4 for about 5 min then sat and waited to be told mri place would call me left 415. I could have arrived at 330!

Very up front and informative.

All questions answered, and developed a medical plan

Dr Song was very knowledgeable and did not hurry his explanations. I felt that he really wanted to help me and it was not just a job.

Dr was on time. I was very happy with my consultation with Dr Song.

Very pleasant and professional.

The Best Surgeon ever!!

He answered all my questions. We will know more after images.

Polite, calm, and had obviously read my record.offered good advice for treatment

Dr Edward Song very polite and up front

Explained everything we needed to know!!!

He’s the BEST !!! Trust his judgment 100%

Great doctor, good bedside manner. Explains everything extremely well so there is no question.

Dr Song made made me feel very confident that I made the best choice to do my procedure. At every appointment with him, he took the time necessary to answer any questions, and made things very clear about what he was going to do and what to expect. I was very pleased with the outcome and could not be more pleased with the professionalism and care I was given. He was referred to me by a friend and I will not hesitate to praise my experience to anyone in need of his knowledge and skills.

Doctor Song is always a number 10 Excellent Plus his staff is a 10

Very straight forward Dr. I wouldn’t go to any other Dr.

Could have spent a little more time

Dr. Song spoke to us in layman's terms, even showing us the X-ray and why there were the challenges that were happening. Just from that first meeting we have a great deal of confidence in him for the ensuing surgery.

Doctor Song was professional and to the point. He reviewed my MRI results and provided me with the best options for my specific situation.

Great doctor he has helped me a lot.

The Best Spinal Surgeon. I have to have multiple surgeries and he always exceeds my expectations. Would highly recommend to anyone.

I am very pleased with Dr. Song. He is thorough, pleasant, compassionate, and reasonable as to possible treatment(s).

Dr Song was very good at explaing my situation with options and suggestions for next steps. He answered my questions. Took the time to hear and understand and respond.

Professional, Polite, well dressed and takes his time to explain options, he is a credit to the profession!

He explained my options thoroughly. I opted for surgery after trying other things. He did an excellent job!! I’m almost pain free.

Doctor Song was very direct but very informative.

Except the truth it may not be what you want to here. He has all the respect in the world from me.

Dr. Song made me feel comfortable throughout our meetings, pre and post operative. He is very friendly and personable. I don't think I could have chosen a better doctor.

On time easy to do Doctoring with

Doctor Song, is very concern and really cares about his patients needs.

Very personable. Easy to talk to. I feel confident with him and his determination.

Thank you Dr. Song.

Long wait, and then Dr was in a hurry

Dr Song gave detailed explanations for possible procedures.

Talking down to your patients is Never a good thing. Judging a Person's efforts twords there Recovery due to Insurance Guidelines is the WORST THING you can do !!!

Professional & knowledgeable of my concerns and questions

Very professional and straightforward...I really appreciate his ability and feel confident that his suggested treatment will resolve my issue!

a wonderful surgeon who corrected my severe back problem

55 minutes of waiting for 3 minutes of face time only to be told what they already determined before talking to me (want imaging). He very clearly wanted a shorter visit as he kept trying to leave without me asking more questions.

compassionate, bright, easy to talk with and is very knowledgeable. He was obviously well schooled. 6 stars

Wonderful doctor, clear explanations and always offers alternatives to surgery.

informative, friendly, thorough,helpfull

Knowledgeable and professional.

Dr. Song takes time to address my questions.

I was a little scared going into the office but within seconds I was at ease. Excellent office staff and doctor Song.

Dr Song was very thorough and explained my options completely. Staff were very friendly.

I have been to multiple surgeons and Dr Song may have found the answer to a problem that has been overlooked for years causing me tremendous pain. Thank you Dr Song

The best surgeon I have ever had work on me!! I highly recommend him to anyone who needs back surgery!!

Very professional, and considerate.

Dr Song’s PA was thorough in the pre-evaluation and intake. She had a great rapport with me as a patient as well as professionally friendly. The nurse was Extremely personable as well as very thorough. Dr song was 30 min late yet informative.

Courteous, informative and provides you with the facts necessary to make a cognitive decision.

He seems very knowledgeable but my first experience with him was very rushed; As if he didn’t have time for me to fully explain what I’m feeling and what my medical situation has been to truly understand on what I might or might not need

Best Doctor and person ever!!! Highly recommend Martin Caskey

Dr Song has my full confidence. He not only fixed my back three years ago, I am trusting him to fix it again after a bad accident.

Dr Song is one of the best back surgeons in the valley. He didn’t try to convince me but gave me thorough information so I could make up my own mind. He has reduced my back pain significantly. I highly recommend him.

an excellent doctor, always greets you with a smile and explains everything to you.

My Dr. in Globe, Ryan Bradley, referred me to Dr. Song because he thinks very highly of him. I was very impressed by Dr. Song, my Dr. was right!

Is always very friendly and concise about what needs to be done and explains exactly how to do it. Great doc that doesn't just jump headlong into cutting even tho he is a surgeon. I've been very impressed with his knowledge and his friendliness.

great surgeon...compassionate and caring

Excellent surgeon! Highly recommend this Dr!

a very kind and caring Doctor who takes time to explain your condition and give options for treatment.

Caring, professional staff, ready to answer all questions and make patients feel comfortable.

I also received this same questionnaire for Dr. Kipling Sharp on July 2nd, but failed to complete it in time...I have these same responses for that office visit as well. Please input to his record as well.

Dr Song is an excellent spine Dr, and I truly understand his recommendations.

Extremely informative at an understandable level. Exceptionally good experience getting full facts to make a proper decision.

Dr. Song takes the time to talk to you and understand the problem. He also is an extremely talented surgeon that fixed my back and gave me a normal life again.

I came to Dr. Song with excrutiating back pain and MRI showing major issues including sciatic entrapment. I was told to lose 50 pounds, have both my knees fixed, and then come back. I left in tears of hopelessness.
