I appreciate the most noninvasive approach of ending my pain. I do not feel Dr. reviewed my MRI and CT scan. Ending my shoulder pain is a (sometimes) temporary fix, it does not fix the problem. I'm now scheduled for a cervical fusion C3-C6. Up next is shoulder replacement. Wish me well:) read more

We both agreed that I wasn't a candidate for any kind of back surgery at this time. Dr Duek made an honest assement that the mri didn't definitively reveal a course of surgical intervention. read more

Find another Dr.quickly all Dr.Deuk is looking for is your money and a notch on his belt "of another patient " . Since having Herniated Disc surgery in 2014 I have been Totally Disabled.

My experiences at Deuk Spine Institute is always professional. The front desk is always kind, the nurses and doctors are professional and courteous. Dr. Deuk is also extremely professional yet welcoming. A winning combination that keeps your nerves at ease and assists with your faith in the process. Deuk Spine Institute has truly saved me and changed my quality of life. read more

I liked Dr Deuk but I was expecting more. I have: "Multilevel cervical spondylosis with severe foraminal stenosis and nerve root impingement, plus mild-to-moderate cervical spinal stenosis." The only thing he spoke with me was about my c5 to c7. All others problems was not addressed, like the anterolistese C3-C4 which is extremely important to check. I think for someone like me he isn't an option. If I had less problems he certainly could be my doctor.​ read more

Dr D was very encouraging about my condition. He sounded like he was concerned and would be able to help

Thank you Dr. Ara Deukmedjian & The Deuk Spine Institute Team. The no cost MRI review is most valuable advice providing the patient the hope for the better alternative pain relieve option. We will follow up with the details for the logistic side. Much appreciate the MRI review opportunity. Tom & Sharon C read more

Simply rude. Was speaking with my wife over video call review of her spine issue with unprofessional, vile and vulgar words. I personally spoke with him also about my neck issues and Mr Deuk true to self recommended a procedure that did not address the core issue... I got thee more opinions and ended up getting the proper surgery I needed which was a C2-T2 cervical/thoracic fusion. Just get multiple Drs to look at your films and off the record ask about other Drs reviews... The consensus is clear... Ephesians 4:29 "Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers." Colossians 3:8-9 "But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth. 9 Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds;" Do you research. Most all online review forums are able to be manipulated. $ talks... Jesus will repay.... Romans 12:19 "Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord." read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]well oiled machine, good review, short, concise, too the point.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It's a free review, so you have nothing to lose more than 10. Minutes of your time, read more

They reviewed my m. R. IS as well as the paperwork he was prompt and straight to the point I said exactly what he would do and pinpointed exactly where my issues were. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I've been to many different doctors about my issues, especially in New York at the best hospitals and no one can give me the right information.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I am very thankful.\n Very thankful. read more

I would like to thank Deuk Spine Institute for helping me make one of the biggest decision in my life. Dr. Deuk was very knowledgeable in explaining to me what is exactly going on with my lower back problems and having the confidence in his abilities to fix my lower back problems so I'm forever grateful for that we need more doctors like him honest and sincere. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]The doctor was a caring doctor.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]He gave me his perspective which helped me to the next step.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] He needed further imaging, which I will get as soon as I can. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I appreciate the clear communication with the doctor.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Dr. Deuk's free online consultation was informative and gave me a second opinion if I should go under the knife.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It urns out now to be a knife, but rather a laser with a 4mm incision. C6-C7 herniated disk and I am trying steroids, anti-inflammatories, and something that tells my brain the nerve does not hurt. I will try this along with physical therapy for awhile to see if it helps. If it still hurts or gets worse, I would gladly have Dr. Deuk do my surgery. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was nice of him to take the time to meet with me and review my MRI.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

I wasn't surprised! I've been watching him for month, his skill, expertise and knowledge is set apart Immediately he opened the call with "I'm sorry you're going through this, I can help you!" Thoracic spine is tricky and needs specialized care. His office staff was kind & efficient, I'm thankful I found his Team to help me! Nancy N. read more

Dr Deuk was very thorough and professiona, look forward to meeting him in person and getting my back fixed!

I had laser back surgery by Dr Deuk on 03/31/2026. I was told by several orthopedic surgeons I needed a fusion on my L4,L5,L5 S1 Well after my zoom consultation with Dr Deuk he assured me I didn't need a fusion and he would fix me. Well 3 weeks post op I am completely healed and pain free. If you were told you need a fusion See Dr Deuk you will thank me. read more

I think the doctor knows what he is talking about. I I don't think he is very patient.I think when dealing with older people that are hard of hearing he could be a little more understanding and not so abrupt. I think he could've listened a little better too my symptoms that I was having instead of completely going off of the MRI.[[HIGHLIGHT]]I think the people in the office seem to be nice when we talked to them.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I realize he is a busy person since he's the only one that really knows how to do this procedure however, a little compassion would go a long ways.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Would I see him because I think he could help me? The answer would be yes Especially with everything I have read. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I have been waiting to hear from his office since I have talked to him to see when he could do the procedure and how much the procedure would cost. I still have not heard anything hopefully today.That has been over 3 business days[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. [[HIGHLIGHT]]When talking to him it sounded like it was going to be that day.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Dr. DEUK caused permanent spinal cord injury that ruined my life. After which, he accuse me of lying about my pain in order to get disability. When in fact, I had to go through an extensive second surgery in an effort to correct some of the damage caused by my first surgery. I'm permanently disabled, and in constant pain. Never agree to surgery that can leave you crippled without first getting several opinions by unaffiliated surgeons. I wish I had. read more

Great experience. The Dr was very succinct in his analysis of my issues and I'm looking forward to getting and digesting the info being sent to me . read more

My Zoom appointment was at 10:10. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They called me at 9:36 Just to sit in the waiting room.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]He was rude wouldn't even let me finish my sentence of my symptoms.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Not the type of doctor I'm looking for. read more

thank you Dr Deuk you were very helpful on my diagnosis and i want to thank you again for having me as your patient, the best to you and your great team fernando upegui read more

I had pain on my right side and a feeling of some instability with my right leg. I had sharp stabbing pain when getting in and out of a car, doing basic housekeeping like running a vacuum cleaner, loading a dishwasher, or even pushing a shopping cart. My right-sided pain would immediately occur whenever I carried an item (even my purse) in either hand, from the imbalance of weight. My pain also reared its ugly head going up and downstairs, to the point of putting things to go downstairs next to the steps so my husband could take them down. If it was necessary to use the stairs, I would wait until the end of the day because I knew that one or two trips down and up the steps would bring the pain on and ruin any other activities I had planned for that day. Standing/walking/sitting too long would bring on the pain. ...The pain would radiate into my groin, hips, back of the thighs, and occasionally down to my right foot. Also, my sleep was terrible because pain kept me flipping side to side, and even lying flat on my back. I tried a pillow under my knees, and between my legs when trying to sleep on either side. I never felt rested and it was taking a toll on my body, since sleep is the time when your body heals. The lack of sleep would also make me less of a patient person...not a good thing when you're married! ...I had the 'very fast' SI Joint Deuk Plasma Rhizotomy treatment, and it brought immediate relief! I literally skipped to my post-op exam room (at 67 years old!). I highly recommend Deuk Spine Center for anyone with 'any' back pain. I'm beyond pleased and look forward to a much more active retirement. Dr. Deukmedjian and his entire team are truly one of a kind. No one else does what he can do. I flew to his facility in Florida in desperation for a better life...and I'm flying back home with a renewed spirit and ambition...pain free. read more

I had surgery on January 20th with Dr. Deuk. I had 2 herniated discs (c5-c6 & c6-c7) that Dr. Deuk performed surgery on. I've been in pain for the last 7 months suffering from headaches that turned into migraines, numbness in my hands that caused me to make complete change of life style and quit my job. Today, I'm pain free and on the road to recovery! The team at Deuk Spinal Center were incredibly kind and so helpful. Nurse Nikki and Bree were so warm and friendly, making me feel like I was in great hands and part of the family. I 100% recommend getting surgery if you're experiencing pain. Many people told me I was too young (38 yrs old) for a spinal fusion and to take steroid for pain management. I live in Costa Rica 4.5hrs away from the city and airport. I'm not one to take medication nor did I want to travel to receive steroid injections every couple of months. To me, it felt like a bandaid that prolonged the pain. I wanted to get back to my active lifestyle teaching yoga and working on my farm. With the help of Dr. Deuk and his team, I'm able to do just that. Thank you so much for giving me my life back; I'm forever grateful. read more
