    Doctor Mark Torke is a horrible doctor…read more He had 0 bedsides manners, and when he came in the room, he made me feel stupid. Like I was in an interrogation. I am 18 with severe shoulder issues. I came in the room confident and ready to get things fixed. As soon as he came in the room, he flustered me. I was shocked by the way he was acting. He said there was nothing wrong with me, and I should be exercising. The list of backhanded comments he gave me was plentiful. When I told him I physically could not without pain, he said "I don't care." Such a salty old man. He then forgot to discharge me, and I was stuck in the room he humiliated me in for 30 mins. Such a horrible experience. This isn't a post made out of anger for my results, he simply is the worst doctor I've ever been to, and he is the only one on that list! Never come here unless you want a doctor only coming for a paycheck and not your health!

    Came here in 2004 when I broke my left elbow and in 2013 when I broke my left pinkie. So when I…read morefell on my left elbow and fractured my radial head on my left arm, I came back to see Dr. Torke again. Today is my 2 week followup on 6/2/23, with new X-ray to see if it's healing properly. Dr. Torke is a no nonsense, shoot from the hip type of guy, which is fine by me. I like to know the facts, what to do to heal, and be on my way. If I have questions, Dr. Torke is thorough with the answers - or finding answers. So far, I've been satisfied with my treatment in the past and now. The office staff is pleasant, helpful, and accommodating. If I have questions, they answer then or find someone with the answers.

    Dr. Shim is very thoughtful and precise. He really knows what he is doing…read more I waited for many years to get surgery on my lower back. I should have done it with Dr. Shim years ago. I had a double fusion surgery on L4 and L5. I feel soooo great! Thank you Dr. Shim!

    I just visited Dr. Shim about an ongoing issue I have had with my hip and back. After having my…read moreprimary care physician help me finally define the issue I was having with symptoms, I was referred to Dr. Shim after an MRI. The radiologist assessed my MRI and said I did not have an issue with any discs, which was essentially the purpose of the MRI (to rule out a lower disc problem). The issue is likely my SI joint but Dr. Shim did not want to talk about my SI joint, despite the fact that my pain seems to be caused by a problem in that area. He just wanted to push epidural injections on me for a "small bulging disc" that he saw on my MRI that no one else saw then or for the 4 years that I've previously had this issue. He kept telling me about the pain in my lower leg which I did not have and how that was from my "bulging disc." The bottom line was he would not listen to me. Relied solely on his assistant's physical examination and something he saw on the film that no one else did. He kept trying to tell me that I was having pain in areas in which I wasn't having pain. Ridiculous. Just trying to get more people through an expensive injection procedure. He was fake and insincere. I would not visit him again.

    My experience with Dr Moreno so far has been in the hospital…read more I was admitted for extreme back pain, which was almost debilitating. I also had so many things going on that made my illness a bit complicated. Dr. Moreno immediately began with my back to rule out a fracture. Then he assured me that he will do his utmost best to help me with my pain management. I am looking forward to my visit with him in his office next week to begin what I hope will be experiencing a whole new painless if not pain free life. Dr Moreno has the most awesome personality with a killer smile.I am so grateful for those individuals who arranged for him to be on my Bay Care Team. Thank you Dr Moreno.

    TL;DR: Months of waiting to get just minutes of pure arrogance. Left in tears, no answers, still in…read morepain -- seeking another doctor. We waited months for this appointment, only to leave disheartened and confused. Dr. Moreno was abrupt, rude, condescending, dismissive, and clearly had not reviewed my MRI report. At one point, he begrudgingly flashed the MRI on the screen for mere seconds -- not to explain, but to silence questions he seemed offended by. His "treatment plan" felt rushed, based on snap judgment, and ignored key findings; his ego seemingly given more weight than thorough clinical review. My wife left in tears, and I left still in pain with incomplete answers. Medicine is not just about knowledge; it's about listening, synthesizing, and caring enough to explore the full scope of a patient's symptoms. On that front, Dr. Moreno failed spectacularly.
