  3. Dusty R.

Not to be overly dramatic, but Dr. Choll Kim was heaven sent. He saved my life. I went from being crippled, back to a full human being again, in less than 8 weeks.
Before surgery I’d lost feeling in both legs and had extreme pain from my glutes all the way down my legs. I couldn’t stand vertically and couldn’t walk more than a few feet. Dr Kim performed a minimally invasive surgery fusing L2 to S3 and L3 to L4. I spent one night in the hospital. I have returned to hiking, gentle stretching, and light weightlifting. I will continue to improve. I am 71 years old.
