I’ve seen plenty of other spine specialist before Dr. Lim and the moment my wife and I met Dr. Lim we knew from the moment he spoke that he will be the one to preform surgery on me. Very kind, respectful, knowledgeable, and always ready for any challenges that come his way even if he has to include another doc with him he’s always ready. I’m so happy with the results after 5 years of suffering I feel I am slowly getting my life back thanks to Dr. Lim
