Patient Reviews
Dec 15, 2019
I was in absolute agony. Dr. Mok was able to get me in the office in a timely fashion to have tests performed to assess my condition. It was determined I was in need of a Laminectomy and a spinal fusion at L-4,L-5. Dr. Mok performed the surgery and I woke up totally pain free. In addition to being a great surgeon he has a great bedside manner. He is also a veteran. It is no exaggeration to say he gave me my life back.
