Did an excellent job no pain now at all
Dr Roh is very compassionate, listens well, and reviews your options carefully. He performed my L5-S1spinal fusion 11 years ago and I have been pleased with the results.
Oh my how can I tell you on how Dr Roh has made such a difference in my. life . I had a spinal fusion 6 weeks ago what a world of difference it has made . Before the surgery it had gotten so bad my walking was limited couldn’t stand for no time . Only position that was good was laying down and taking pain meds . Now no pain if so very mild I’m able to walk farther then I could. Sitting is good. I had this surgery 12 yr ago with another doctor on L1and L2 my recovery was slow was on the walker for about 4 weeks this time 3 4 and 5 I was up walk without the walker after a week doing stairs. Cooking again no pain and it didn’t hurt to stand. I feel great wish I had did it sooner. I would just like to say thank U Dr Roh for taking good care of me and making life good for me 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I and Him are very lucky. He is fabulous
