A wonderful doctor and person. I had a piece of cartilage from my disc fall into my spinal column and wedge against my nerve. It got worse quickly and eventually felt like a lit match under the heel of my foot that I couldn't pull away from. I was awake for 60+ hours at the end and went to the ER 3 times before they believed I wasn't trying to get medicine. The afternoon after I was admitted, Dr. Oh visited me in my room and talked to me for a while about everything that was going to happen and how it worked. He answered my questions and made sure I was comfortable with everything. I thought I was the only person he had talked to all day because of how patient and friendly he was. I later found out he had just gotten out of a six-hour surgery and came to see me and spent that time with me before he had even gotten himself something to eat after all that. That's the kind of person you're getting - someone that cares so much about other people that they prioritize that patient over their own comfort, and somehow that same personality is capable of such clinical excellence devoid of any perceptible ego. Maintaining that adjacent to such humanity is exceptionally rare in any person, and to find it in someone in a position to affect those around them so profoundly seems almost singular amongst human beings.

Dr. Oh was very attentive and caring with helping my 90 year old mother decide on the benefits of a laminectomy. Dr. Oh performed the surgery which was very successful. Now she is able to walk without pain. The careful follow up since the surgery 6 months ago has been great. Highly recommend.

I was a patient on Dr Chong Oh and recommend him. When I went to his office I could not walk more than one block without my left leg falling asleep. Dr Oh took a X-ray and discuss my options after reviewing my X-ray I went back and decided to have the surgery. Laura who makes the arrangements and also answered all my questions scheduled me on 10/6 my follow-up visit was 10/30 and happy to say I am back walking better than ever. I again recommend Dr Oh, Laura and his whole staff.

I visited Dr. Oh in 2020 as a second opinion and he was amazing. I lost that coverage and had been searching years for him and found him again recently. He’s attentive, kind, and listens to what your issues are, as oppose to my last doctor who never listened and only wanted to prescribe meds. I’ve had a patient for life in me b/c I’m never leaving him.

THE BEST FOR A REASON The best in his field. For a reason ! Explained everything clearly, tried all modalities and eventually left the choice up to me with regards to surgery. I chose surgery. 6 weeks after I was up and running and working out heavy. A true miracle worker and the absolute best, period. The skill with which he not only diagnoses, but explains the problems and solutions is only matched by his skill in the OR..

This is the first google review I have ever written, and I am writing this because Dr. Oh changed my life. There are so many things I want to say but when it all comes down to it, what you need to know is that that Dr. Oh’s outstanding bedside manner is matched by the highly precise work he executes as a surgeon. I had a herniated L5-S1. After months of trying to avoid surgery, the pain had gotten so bad that it was clear no amount of PT was going to help. Dr. Oh was thorough when explaining the surgery and the recovery to me and did so again when I asked that my family come in to hear the process because they were skeptical. Like me, Dr Oh put their mind at ease and I was able to go into the surgery with confidence. That confidence was validated and continues to be a year later as I am pain free and able to live my life EXACTLY like before my injury, and I owe ALL to Dr. Chung Oh. Thank you. PS The staff is great too : )

It was a pleasant experience meeting Dr. Oh! He was thorough and explained my symptoms and MRI in great detail. He patiently answered my questions, again in detail. His office staff is exceptional as well!

Dr. Oh has been an excellent and caring provider who has helped me navigate my neck and back condition. He shows compassion and a willingness to understand his patient’s conditions and how it affects their life. He recommended a surgical procedure and has been with me throughout the whole recovery process. I have never met a medical professional so knowledgeable yet so approachable. I will continue to recommend him and the entire CNSO team to anyone struggling with back or neck pain.

Great! After having low back pain which was progressively getting worse went to see Dr. OH. He was very through, explained my problem in detail with solutions, answered all my questions and very patient along with a good sense of humor! Surgery went very well and on the road to recovery. His office staff is very pleasant and helpful also!

Dr. Chong Oh was extremely thorough in diagnosing my lumbar pain and conditions that have ailed me for years. He thoroughly explained what is degenerative due to age and the corrective measures to take and he pointed me on the right path. In the event I were to require spine surgery I am extremely confident in Dr. Oh.
