For a first visit I was very Happy with his manner, very professional but also very friendly and encouraging
Mr Yoon quickly established it would be more beneficial for me to see one of his colleagues and without hesitation it was promptly arranged.
I can’t thank Mr Yoon and his secretary Francis enough. They have gone above and beyond to support me I am very grateful for their time and efficiency
Mr. Yoon was very professional yet easy to talk to. He had already reviewed my MRI and referral information before I even entered his office. That may seem like a small detail, but to me, it showed a genuine level of care and preparation. My ongoing care has now been appropriately referred, and I am currently moving forward in that next stage of the journey.
Was very scared before the spinal fusion op. whether doing the right thing or not. Worth all the money spent though as I have less pain and got my life back
My experience was excellent i felt very relaxed and reassured Mr wai explained everything very well and the staff was very helpful and friendly
Following a prompt diagnosis by Mr Yoon I was kept fully informed by his fabulous PA. Friendly, efficient and caring Suzanne was of great support throughout. The procedure provided instant relief and during my recovery the team continued to be in contact and supportive. I highly recommend Mr Yoon and the team and thank them for making such a positive impact on my wellbeing.
I found Mr Yoon charming and very positive about what he thought the outcome of my spinal fusion surgery would be. He explained everything simply.
Wai Yoon is a superbly intelligent and highly skilled surgeon. His broad experience enables him to provide patients with the very best advice for their spinal care.
