Dr. Joseph Hung of HSS is truly one of the best doctors. I had been suffering from buttock pain for quite some time due to a pinched nerve in my spine. A couple of weeks ago, Dr. Hung administered an epidural injection, and I felt significant relief the very next day. Now, two weeks later, I can say that I am 90-95% pain free. His knowledge, skill, and professionalism are deeply impressive. As his patient, I am immensely grateful for the care and treatment he provided. read more

He won't take Medicare patients. Not good for those of us who rely on it. He seemed to do a good job until my husbands corporate insurance ended. Other HSS doctors do take it but this guy seems to not care. read more

Dr. Hung is dynamic, compassionate, and highly effective. He is a great listener, trying to really understand the causes of pain, and he uses multiple resources to relieve it. Great doctor. read more

I stepped out of my comfort zone of NYC and went the more convenient route staying in CT. From beginning to end HSS has exceeded my expectations. The whole process of getting appointments, approvals from insurance companies to expediting my procedure (Thank you Bernadette!) was hassle free. Now on to Dr. Hung....He has a truly sincere, compassionate way of making you feel you are in good hands. He was extremely reassuring that he indeed could help me. I have been through multiple back and hip surgeries and have seen more MD's then most people see in a lifetime. Dr.Hung is professional and took my extreme anxiety issues into account when preparing me for my procedure. Throughout my procedure he always checked in to see how I was handling it all. He brought my pain levels from a chronic 8+ to an amazing 1-2. I realize my back issues are not going to disappear forever, but the relief Dr.Hung provided has been life changing. I am so grateful to have found such a wonderful Dr with such a terrific staff!!!! read more

Joseph Hung is an exceptionally skilled physician, and he treats his patients with kindness, gentleness,and dignity. He demonstrates his talents and compassion by making the injections administered as pain-free as possible. I have endured significant pain in my hip when walking for at least 10-years, and I have received steroid injections from orthopedists and a pain specialist over this period. I received little relief until I was treated by Dr. Hung. After epidural injections into my lumbar spine followed approximately a month later by steroid injections into my bursa and gluteus medium/minimus, I am almost pain-free. I am so pleased to no longer have limitations on my activity due to pain. His treatment has really changed my life. Dr. Hung is an outstanding MD. read more

Dr. Hung has a great bedside manner and conveys a genuine sense of caring and compassion for his patients and what he does. He listens, explains and takes the time to make sure you understand options and procedures. While undergoing two separate procedures he talked me through every step of what he was doing while he was doing it. He is exceptionally kind to his team and they respond in kind to him and the patient. Dr. Hung's Office Manager Bernadette Valcich is also top notch and mirrors him in compassion, follow through and availability. Great Doc and great practice! read more

Went to see Dr. Hung for some potential back issues and I received great care. He was thorough in his diagnosis, personalized in his treatment, and clear in the explanation of what was going on with me. His office was extremely helpful in scheduling and management of the process (Bernadette his assistant is a rock star). They made it about as easy and seamless to make it through a tough situation for me even in these crazy times. I am super appreciative of him and the team and highly recommend him. read more

I had pain in my neck and tried physical therapy but could not alleviate it. Dr. Hung was able to completely eliminate any pain I had in my neck with a Cervical Facet Radiofrequency Ablation. Fairly quick procedure and Dr Hung was great in talking me through it and obviously very skilled at the procedure. Thank you and also Bernadette the office manager for all you did for me. read more

I have been suffering with a trifecta of problems - sciatica, degenerative disc disease, and an arthritic back. I went to Dr. Hung hoping for the best, but expecting not to have anything offered other than the typical steroid injection or surgery. To my surprise, he mentioned a new procedure to make my pain more manageable - wherein the inflamed nerves could be cauterized to limit the pain signals to my brain. This would give me a chance to not only put on my socks without pain, but also strengthen my core again. It has now been a month, and I was able to fly cross country twice without popping Advil, along with participating in the many demands of a busy life (which included shoveling during the bombogenesis of 2018.) I am thrilled with Dr. Hung's expertise, his demeanor, and the whole staff at HSS. I wouldn't go anywhere else. read more

Dr Hung is simply the best. He has excellent bedside manners. I first went to HSS after a miss diagnosis's by another dr. Not only did Dr. Hung solve the pain issue I had with pinpoint accuracy but made me aware of another pain issue that was related and has helped relieve the pain with that issue also. And of course Bernadette could not be more helpful. read more

I strongly recommend Dr Hung. recently had a herniated lumbar disc and had an excellent experience and outcome with Dr Hung. Not only the results of the treatment surpassed my expectations ( as other colleagues had similar procedures with other Doctor's with least great outcome). Besides being extremely competent, he is very caring, patient and open in explaining you meticulously about your injury, potential ways to treat it and prognosis. Additionally Bernadette his assistant goes above and beyond to support you through out the journey. read more

Dr. Hung has been a wonderful doctor. He specializes in pain management and has assisted me in finding relief from an extremely painful disk issue. He is very caring and thoughtful. He has explained every procedure in detail and answers every question I have. His office manager Bernadette is wonderful and has been extremely helpful as well. They have made a difficult condition into as positive an experience as possible. read more

I am so grateful to Dr. Joe Hung and his amazing team of nurses and office staff. I am in my 20s and have had debilitating back pain on and off for 4 years due to herniated discs. In December it was the worst it had ever been. I couldn't work (I am a nurse), sit in a chair, drive, etc. All I could do was lay supine with a pillow under my knees or stand. I was desperate and was about to opt for surgery just so I could be done with the daily pain and live my life. I found Dr. Hung and I am so glad I did! From the start, Bernadette was courteous, answered all of my questions regarding insurance, sent me the required paperwork immediately and kept me updated on earlier appointments. When I arrived for my consultation, Dr. Hung was right on time and took the time to listen to me, assess me and make recommendations without me feeling pressured to do or take anything. I decided to proceed with an epidural to inject steroid medication around the problematic area. When I arrived that day, the nurses I encountered were friendly and efficient. For the actual procedure, Dr. Hung was communicating with me constantly and reassuring me. Most importantly, he is obviously very skilled; after a few days the pain started getting better. As the pain started to ease up, I was able to do more in physical therapy. It is now March and I am a new person! I no longer have pain! I am able to do everything that I needed and wanted to do and so much more! I know I have to keep doing my part to try to not re-injure myself, but Dr. Hung and his team are to thank for taking the pain away so I CAN focus on that. Thank you! read more

My husband saw Dr. Hung for a herniated C6-C7. He was very communicative and was very patient answering all of our questions and thorough during my examination. Dr. Hung is one of the few doctors who does not rush you in and out of the office as quickly as possible. Most importantly he helped resolve my husbands pain. I would highly recommend Dr. Hung for Pain Management. read more
