The following are reviews from patients of Dr. Bahk.
  • “When I ruptured my lower bicep tendon at work as a firefighter, I immediately thought how was I going to find the best doctor to repair the tendon and get me back to my career. I was a sports chiropractor for 12 years and I had patients that went to SCOI. I also knew I would have to convince my employer to let me choose the doctor. Let me save you the trouble. I did all the research, read many bios of doctors, and knew exactly the type of doctor that I wanted for my own surgery. Now it was my turn as the doctor to find the right doctor. Many things can go wrong, but you will have to trust me on this one. Dr. Bahk will tell you exactly what to expect. He will not rush you. He is very professional and extremely smart. His bedside manner is exactly how I would treat my own patients. The recovery is what it is.  He does the initial hard work and then you listen and do the rehab, which is also hard work. My job is very physical. I was back to work at 90%, 7 months later. At one year, I was at 100%. Dr. Bahk is very good at what he does. I hope this helps anyone who has any fears or doubts. Thank You Doctor Bahk! -- Brian P.”

  • “I had terrible pain in my right knee, which was adversely impacting my lifestyle and even deprived me of sleep. Dr. Bahk operated on me and repaired my torn meniscus and removed a lot of calcified crystals. I subsequently developed a sack of fluid on the back of my knee which made walking uncomfortable. Dr. Bahk drained the fluid and made me feel much better and I can walk normally again. It's been only 19 days since the surgery and I'm back to doing all my normal activities including a rigorous program of physical fitness. Dr. Back is a wonderful doctor with a friendly manner and an excellent medical education.”

  • “I was referred to Southern California Orthopedic Institute by a friend and doctor and I have been very happy with the treatment and professionalism so far! I fractured my arm right before New Years and they were kind enough to see me on New Years Eve Day. Dr. Bahk and his staff have been very nice and treated me very well. I really appreciate their genuine concern for my well-being and would highly recommend them to anyone needing orthopedic services!”

  • “Thank you for being such a personable, compassionate surgeon.  My shoulder problems plagued me for two years and I had seen three other doctors. When I came in to see you for a consultation, you put me at ease right away. You have a great personality that is genuinely warm and caring. It is great to have a skilled surgeon but one that is truly caring is very special!  Thanks for listening, and thanks for taking the time to explain what to expect. I also appreciated the video with your explanation during my surgery. Many thanks for your excellent skills, attentiveness, care, and concern. I'm not looking forward to any surgery soon however, if I need a surgeon, I know where I will go for excellent care. Also I would like to praise Erika for her attention to detail. She was always on top of everything. I have been very satisfied with the care I have received from you.”

  • “As a 19 year old, I used to think I was invincible from the world of injuries. Until I sustained a knee injury that was severe enough to sideline me for quite some time. Having a knee injury that was slightly out of the norm, I am so glad that I chose to come to SCOI. Dr. Burns walked through a 2-year process with me as we got me back on track and playing the sport that I love. He communicated in a way that I could understand and even through a long process with a couple of surgeries tacked on I can honestly say he is the reason why I went back to play volleyball and start training for my first half marathon. With his positive attitude I was able to maintain my positive attitude, making the process that much smoother. But with my luck, I also sustained another injury, this time on my other knee. Having moved out of the Northridge/Van Nuys area and into the Conejo Valley area, I knew that SCOI would have physicians that I could trust. Dr. Bahk guided me through the process and it was a piece of cake. I felt comfortable about his decisions and game plan going into surgery. And almost 5 months later, I am getting closer and closer to being able to do the things I love, maintaining an active lifestyle that a now 23 year old should have. Thank you SCOI for helping me along the way!”

  • “After being treated for tendonitis for my shoulder by my regular physician, Dr. Bahk didn't concur with the diagnosis and ordered an MRI, which revealed I had indeed fractured my shoulder. If it had not been for his persistence, I'd still be in a lot of pain. -- Susan P.”

  • “Both doctors are outstanding and after 3 months of my collarbone not healing, Dr Grossman asked me to see one of SCOI's shoulder orthopedic surgeons known as Dr Bahk! I did and after consultation with Dr Bahk, I opted for collarbone surgery involving a titanium plate and 7 screws. Surgery went great and I was in and out in about 4 1/2 hours. I cannot thank both of these doctors for their support, especially their two office scheduling assistants, Jennifer & Erica. They were both outstanding in trying to set up my appointments and schedule my surgery. Thanks much. -- Stan F.”
