The following are reviews from patients of Dr. Bahk.
  • “I had meniscus repair and ACL revision/replacement surgery on my right knee. From beginning to end Dr. Bahk and the staff--from intake to nurses to the anesthesiologist team--were, and continue to be, exceptional in terms of communication, courtesy, and professionalism. The results have been phenomenal; I literally had no need for pain medication afterwards. I was off crutches in 6 days and 9 days after surgery I was using a stationary bike and an elliptical machine. At this writing, I'm exactly 4 weeks post-surgery. I walk without a limp, have nearly full flexion, I'm back to swimming 3x a week, gym 3x a week, and handling the outdoor ranch chores. I couldn't be happier with the results of this surgery. I unhesitatingly recommend SCOI to anyone I speak with who's looking into orthopedic issues. This group really has their act together.”

  • “Several years ago, I sustained a shoulder injury at work. After working with Dr. Bahk, we decided surgery was the best option. I had the surgery performed March 10th, 2014. Thanks to Dr. Bahk's skill and the Simi Valley SCOI physical fitness staff, I have made a complete recovery and I can do all the activities I could before the accident, pain free. I cannot praise the doctor and his staff enough for what they did for me. I am very active, and having full mobility back is wonderful. I appreciated Dr. Bahk's conservative approach by providing me with the guidance and information to make the decision for surgery. It was completely worth it. Keep up the great work.”

  • “Dr. Bahk is not only a wonderful doctor, but also a great guy who truly cares about his patients. I had had an injured shoulder for many years due to various sports injuries. I could barely raise my hand above my head, would wake with a swollen arm and hand, be awakened at night by pain, among other ailments. Given the choice of living with the pain or replacing the shoulder, I chose the latter, and from day one felt like a new man. I had no pain following surgery and was quickly on the road to recovery. I followed his instructions and exercises religiously, had professional physical therapy, and am happy to report that my fixed shoulder is now better and more mobile than ever. Thank you, Dr. Bahk.  And let's not forget his administrative assistant, Erica, who is as helpful as any back office person I have ever met. She is great.”

  • “I returned to Dr. Bahk with a pain in my left shoulder.  It was determined by MRI I have a small tear in my rotator cuff.  I am unwilling to have any surgery at this time.  Dr. Bahk gave me a shot of and recommended P.T.  I am virtually pain free now.  I always trust Dr. Bahk's expertise and sensitivity.”

  • “I went to see Dr. Bahk with extreme knee pain.  I had previously had miniscus surgery with another surgeon one year before.  I never felt that my first surgery was successful as I was in constant pain.  Dr. Bahk is an amazing Orthopedic Surgeon!  I can not thank him enough for giving me full use of my knee again!  While Dr. Bahk did my surgery he video taped it and talked to me like I was awake and explained everything he was doing.  He continued to say my name during the entire procedure.  When I got home and was able to watch the procedure, it felt like Dr. Bahk was in the room with me, explaining everything!  Dr. Bahk made me feel so comfortable before, during and after my surgery!  Thank you Dr. Bahk for your personal touch!!”

  • “When I finally met Dr. Bahk, my rotator cuff had at least two full tissue tears for five months. I was having trouble controlling my diabetes, so it took another three months to be ready for the surgery. When he felt that I finally had it under control, Dr. Bahk performed the repairs. He made it clear that he needed my participation in every step of the process, or we would fail to make my shoulder work properly again. I accepted this responsibility wholly, and did everything that was recommended. I wore my harness for 23 of every 24 hours religiously for just shy of seven weeks. I was told that this harness would be my best friend, so I named him Holden. I came to dislike him VERY much, but was grateful for his help in my healing process. I severely limited the use of my arm, and rejoiced when I could finally begin physical therapy. There again, I knew that I had to follow through with the exercises and work hard in my sessions. I was fortunate that insurance allowed me to go to SCOI physical therapy, where Debbie worked with me two or three times a week. She encouraged me and worked with me, until there was nothing more she could do to help me, and we left the last few approved sessions unscheduled. Then last Monday, I had my final appointment with Dr. Bahk. It was six months to the day since the surgery, and he felt he could close the case. I am so incredibly happy that everything has worked out the way it has. While my shoulder isn't exactly good as new, which is unrealistic at age 59, it is better than my other shoulder and works without pain or cracking. Thank you, Dr. Bahk and thank you SCOI.”

  • “I tore my meniscus 2 years ago and was in terrible pain and could not walk.  I saw Dr. Bahk and he suggested I have surgery to correct the problem. The surgery went perfectly.  At a follow up with the doctor a month later, he instructed me to start walking a little every day.  I began walking small distances every day.  Since then, I have been walking 5 miles a day for two years, have walked almost 1,500 miles, and worn out 3 pair of walking shoes. My knee has been pain free and it's as if I have a brand new knee. On a cruise I took last year, I walked around the island of Bora Bora in French Polynesia, a dream I've had for 20 years. Dr. Bahk saved my knee as well as my future. By the way, I'm 70 years young! Thank you, SCOI and especially, Dr. Bahk.”

  • “I ruptured my Achilles tendon on December 22, 2012. I saw Dr. Bahk and he recommended surgery. The surgery was scheduled on January 10 and everything went smoothly. I followed doctors orders and went through physical therapy. Feeling great!”

  • “I was amazed at how quickly the surgery went. I really liked the cd of my surgery. I was even more amazed at how well my pain (or lack thereof!) was managed. I hope I don't have to, but if I did, I would definitely use SCOI again.”
