Patient Reviews
“The doctor did a great job on treating my plantar fasciitis. He use an ultrasound machine to guide the Cortisone injection, it was pretty much pain-free afterwards. In the past, I had to take two or three days off to recover from the injection. The doctor was friendly and informative. Great job and great personality.”

“I sing Dr. Bahk's praises to everyone I know, just yesterday someone said they needed a second opinion about a shoulder injury and I piped up his name. Then I realized I had never officially rated him. So here I am. I give Dr. Bahk five stars!
I went to Dr. Bahk twice. Once when I broke my ankle in 3 places and he did the surgery. And once when I had a frozen shoulder. Orthopedic events are never fun. They take a while to heal and it can be really frustrating for the patient. But Dr. Bahk's kind nature and his orthopedic expertise saw me through both events. He thoroughly explained the options available to me and was very patient and answered all my questions. Currently, I am thankfully pain-free and able to walk and use my arm with no impediments. Thank you, Dr. Bahk.
P.S- You guys also have a lovely Van Nuys Physical Therapy Department.”
