Excellent staff from the beginning to end.

09/05/2024

Could not expect more

03/05/2024

I would definitely recommend Dr. Rhee & his team!

30/04/2024

He a good Dr

30/04/2024

Dr. Rhee did not listen to me or ignored my problem and dismissed me with a nothing can be done, see a pain management doctor attitude. He made me feel like my issues, my pain, meant nothing and he didn't care about addressing anymore of my problems. I felt dismissed and frustrated. I felt that this appointment was a total waste of time for both of us.

30/04/2024

Doctor Rhee is the best

25/04/2024

Very little concern.

25/04/2024

Doctor Rhee is a wonderful Doctor I had surgery in May 2023 so far I have not had any more pain with my back since the surgery.I appreciate him and his team. He's a very caring person.

25/04/2024

In 2015 Dr Rhee completely fixed my spine. I have literally told hundreds of people to go see him. If they didn't that is their misfortune. Dr Rhee is absolutely remarkable. I thanks God every day for him.

23/04/2024

The provider was very thorough and clear about my diagnosis and treatment.

23/04/2024

Dr Rhee is an exemplary health care provider. He is extremely knowledgeable, very friendly, patient, answers any questions--in addition to being a highly skilled surgeon.

23/04/2024

Good

04/04/2024

I have recommended Dr. Rhee to several people

02/04/2024

I have already recommended Dr. Rhee to one friend, who is also very pleased with his experience.

30/03/2024

100000% satisfied

29/03/2024

Dr. Rhee is extremely knowledgeable with the issues presented to him via MRI copies I provided him. He is a very easy doctor to get comfortable with, explained my options, the procedure, risks and benefits of the procedure, in layman's terms. I just wish I was provided written information to go by for my review once I got home because as we all know it, a complex spine surgery could be explained and understood in detail once the patient gets home and read the information to have a thorough understanding of the procedure in his/her own relaxed environment without fear of the unknowns.My other second opinion consult with an Ortho spine surgeon from Piedmont hospital, provided me a booklet with pictures, of what to expect on how the procedure is going to be done, the name of the procedure, etc. It gave me more information of what the extent of my spine issue, that gave me more information to make an informed decision regarding my complex medical spine condition.

28/03/2024

Dr. Rhee and the PA/PP were outstanding, attentive, kind.

28/03/2024

Dr Rhee's ability to provide excellent care and support in a professional as well as empathetic manner is one of the reasons why my wife and I selected him to preform this procedure. He is the best doctor we have ever worked with.

28/03/2024

Dr Rhee has been my doctor for several years. He is absolutely the BEST!

27/03/2024

Dr Rhee has the reputation of being the best in his field and he certainly has shown this to me.

19/03/2024

Dr Rhee was exceptionally good & helpful during this post op visit. I feel that I am faring even better than expected re: my neck surgery (ACDF). Truly grateful that Dr Rhee listened to my ongoing concerns in other areas and guided me to referrals & resources to help without delay. Thank you for seeing my whole person so I can comply better with our plan for continued progress, less pain/discomfort, and better well being. Quite a pleasant experience which left me hopeful, encouraged and with an ongoing game plan.

19/03/2024

01/02/2024

I immediately trusted Dr. Rhee. He actually listened to my issues and questions and explained my current situation and his proposed resolution with grave and kindness.

25/01/2024

They where all very impressive in the way they treated me.

25/01/2024

I'm most appreciative of Dr. Rhee's professionalism in explaining my test results, how he listened to my concerns, and the compassion he showed in analyzing my case. Thank you very much!

12/01/2024

Dr Rhee did a great job, kind, skilled and empathetic

11/01/2024

Dr. Rhee was very open and gave me sound advice. He let me know what my best options were as opposed to just doing what I wanted. I truly appreciate that. It's great when a Doctor considers what's best for you instead of what's more economical for them.

11/01/2024

Dr Rhee did a great job on me

04/01/2024

Dr. Rhee changed my life. I was in severe back pain. My pain has gone. He was professional at all times and kept us informed every step along the way. During my recovery period at home, his office was easily reached and my concerns resolved or questions answered. The follow up appointments were efficient and informative. My experience with Dr Rhee was excellent. I could not have asked for a more caring doctor, or better overall experience. He is an outstanding caregiver.

18/05/2023

The entire team is obviously competent in their assigned duties.

16/05/2023

No solution to my issue of neck pain. Focused on one issue with my arm and did not want to discuss any other problems I am having. Sending me back to hand doctor for the one problem, but no suggestion for my other issues.

11/04/2023

Dr. Rhee is outstanding as a doctor. You feel his attention to your concerns and shows how to do various chores with my fused back.

30/03/2023

Dr Rhee quickly spotted that my condition may not be in my back and had extra test run to prevent me from having Spine surgery that would not have fixed what was wrong with me.
