“I am an SVPD Police Officer with 17 years of street experience. I was brutally injured by a mental health patient, which resulted in a fully torn right knee PCL. Dr. Bahk was great and I was back to work full duty in four months. While I am still healing, Dr. Bahk was amazing and did a great job. Dr. Bahk and his nurse kept my spirits high while providing me with the best care, which not only saved my career, but also allowed me to return full field duty quickly. Thank you Dr. Bahk and all of the SCOI staff.”

“My husband had a torn three tendons in his rotator cuff. The injuries were old and the muscles had pulled away. Dr. Bahk is a miracle worker! He was able to attach the tendons! My husband can do most of the shoulder functions now. I do recommend Dr. Bahk to anyone with orthopedic needs.”

“Thanks for showing us that there are doctors in this world that are willing to go above and beyond. Most doctors are in such a hurry that they barely catch your name. Thankfully, that’s not you! We are incredibly thankful for your careful attention to any and every detail regarding my care. We think you rock and you’re truly a class act doctor!”

“It is with my deepest gratitude that I am writing this. Today, I thoroughly enjoyed myself, working up a good sweat in a Latin dance class. Monday, I worked out with 80 other folks during a 2 hour, Pierce College, Encore class entitled Body Movement. This is the stuff that makes me so very happy, and I wouldn’t be participating in such activities at age 64 if it wasn’t for your knowledge, surgical skill, and human compassion, which you applied as you repaired my damaged left knee’s meniscus in March 2012. Last Year, 2011 Thanksgiving holiday, I knew I injured my knee and lower leg, as I was hiking up in the Cascade Wilderness. By the time I arrived home in Los Angeles, I could barely walk. Having knee support for a few weeks afterward still did nothing to heal my leg, and that’s when I made an appointment with you. Your diagnosis and subsequent meniscus surgery, dramatically improved my quality of life!
Before I knew it, on March 1st, I was comfortably in and out of the surgical center within a few hours. From there, following your post-surgical directions, my recuperation went extremely smooth. I truly appreciate the follow up check ups and the time and patience you applied to promote healing as well as answer all of my questions. The prescription for two months of therapy with Nathan and Brian made my recovery even stronger and faster. I learned the proper way to use my body to avoid injury, as well as various exercises to strengthen my leg muscle and core. I still do these at home! This entire experience left me with a feeling of complete respect, gratefulness, and admiration for everyone involved in my healing process. I realize though that the process could never begun without your excellent surgical abilities, concern, confidence, and care!
I hope you never change Dr. Bahk. I know how hard you work and how much you travel, yet you are always so positive, knowledgeable, friendly, and confident! Thank you so much for helping me get back to my normal!”

“I just wanted to write to let you know how much my family and I appreciate your medical care. My recent injury was serious enough to possibly alter my lifestyle. Thanks to your experience and skills in diagnosis, surgery, and rehabilitation, I am able to start living the lifestyle I enjoyed before my accident. You have a great upbeat and positive manner. Your competent and reassuring care gave me the hope and encouragement I needed.
I’ve found the entire staff at Southern California Orthopedic Institute to be phenomenal. Your office assistant is to be highly commended. She handled my many phone calls and questions with promptness, efficiency, and courtesy. The rehabilitation center at SCOI is also very special. The personal attention I have received from the staff has been fabulous. They designed unique exercises to bring my hamstrings back to working order. Paying close attention to detail, they have monitored my progress with a smile and encouraging demeanor. I’m absolutely thrilled over my care at SCOI. I’ll be recommending you and SCOI to my family and friends. Thanks again for being there for me, and helping my family and me get through a rough patch in our lives. We appreciate you immensely!”

“I wanted to write to tell you how much I appreciated the work you did on my shoulder and how much I respect you as a physician. I called and left a message with your assistant, but I felt this was not adequate to express my gratitude. I may have mentioned I don't really like doctors. I started working in hospitals when I was 17 and since then, I have seen a few excellent examples of men and women who respect their patients, and treat them with dignity, regardless of their age or the nature of their complaint.
I have had the good fortune to have several of these miracle doctors, both as colleagues and personal physicians. You have joined the list of doctors I would gladly recommend to my friends and family, as well as any patient who had a problem that falls within your specialty. I appreciate your bedside manner, your willingness to listen to my description of my feelings and progress or lack of it, your willingness to let me choose the physical therapist, your lack of negativity when I complained, and for that matter, your positive manner in general.
You took the time to explain and re-explain when necessary, the course of treatment. You not only allowed me to be the patient, but also insisted on it, despite the fact that I have been in nursing for 40+ years. You encouraged me to follow your treatment plan and not get frustrated or impatient with my progress. I must admit; that other than my abdominal surgeon, you engendered more trust immediately than anyone else I've ever seen. Mostly I wanted to tell you what a fantastic doctor you are and that you have won my respect for your professionalism, excellence of treatment, and patient relations.
Thank you for being a terrific doctor and for having restored my faith in the medical community, so I know there are still physicians like you out there. I am sure you will maintain your standards and will have hundreds of satisfied patients like me in your career.”

“I have been having trouble with my shoulder, lots of pain when doing certain activities. I workout regularly and try to stay as fit as possible. Dr. Bahk has been very good at explaining what was going on in my shoulder and has given me realistic expectations. He ordered an MRI to be done on my shoulder and found that I have arthritis so he advised that I get a cortisone shot, which I did. I have had a great outcome, very little pain and mobility is excellent. Thanks, Doc.”
