I have called ever day for the last 8 days no one answers their phones or returns messages…read more When I did call back after waiting 5 days, I was told "We didn't call you back because we need a referral ". I told him it would have been helpful if someone would have called to let me know this. I had an Urgent care facility fax them the referral on Saturday, I called today to confirm they received it. They said their fax receipt is 24hrs because the fax is electronic. Really? Normally electronic is faster than a fax machine. Finally I asked for a Supervisor and she said their normal turn times for new Patients is appx. 3-4 weeks but she would confirm and call me back tomorrow. ( what's another day after waiting 9days when I am is so much psi. And can't walk). The Supervisor also told me they aren't answering their phones because they are all on the phones. I said ok but why can't they return their messages? The reception/people who answer the phones are unprofessional, no experience and lack concern for patients. I have never complained as I know I'm not the only person waiting. I would not use Neospine, if Dr Allen was not there. He is best foot Dr. Unfortunately he works out of this office. If they truly wanted to help people in pain they would return calls and at least act like they care about new patients. This is the worst customer service I have ever experienced. No wonder Yelp reviews are the lowest one Star! Read the reviews!!! Who is running this place?

He was meticulous in every detail and made sure all of my questions were answered. His follow-up care was equally impressive--attentive, professional, and genuinely caring throughout the recovery process. Thanks to Dr. Jung's remarkable skill and dedication, I am now pain free and feeling better than I have in a long time. I highly recommend Dr. Jung to anyone seeking a highly talented neurosurgeon who truly cares about his patients.

I pulled on the God ropes as my retired RN Mom would say, by pushing back on his assessment and demanding an updated thoracic MRI. Go figure: Intraosseus tumors now added to scoliosis, ventral canal indentations and several bulging discs.

(My new neurosurgeon had presented my case to a team of his cohorts, and they came to this conclusion together.) Keem's office consistently fails to provide pre-op and intra-operative photos to members of my care team who request them; multiple neurosurgeons have tried. No one except Keem's office has seen them. Context is included in my two reviews below this one. Keem allowed me to feel like it was hopeless, that the disc would "continue" slipping indefinitely due to the default of my own body. Keem looked me in the eyes and lied to my face the two times he had the courage to show his face to me after his failed surgery (and one of these was a presumably forced meeting facilitated by the Polyclinic's risk management department). He's unscrupulous, which a surgeon should never be. I wouldn't trust him with a houseplant. I've had innumerable complications as a result of this failed surgery. My career as a dancer is over. I've chipped multiple teeth from my post-op convulsions. I've gotten a diagnosis of PTSD. I'm going to be different for the rest of my life. I'm moving forward with a lawsuit.

Extremely attentive at first visit. Scheduled surgery and was told on the way to the operating room…read morethat he may not be able to help with one of the vertebraes that was broken. I wish he would have told me that at the preop. I would have gotten another opinion. I asked him to do his best but it still isn't right. The cement also leaked out during surgery! When I asked about what could go wrong at the preop, leakage was his answer. When I asked how often this happens, he replied that he's done over 3,000 and never had it happen. Hard to believe I was his first of over 3,000. The other vertebrae hasn't caused any problem since the surgery. Rather than seeing the doctor for my post op he sent me to his assistant. I never saw him after surgery or since.

He takes the time to answer all your questions and explains in simplest terms so you fully understand. When he's in the office with you he is totally focused on you and your problems.

If I ever need to have surgery again or any of my family members he will be the surgeon. 100 stars

Like Dr. Mohitt. Very informative and easy to talk with. Has excellent schooling for spine…read moresurgeries and quite educated in the field so felt comfortable with him. The administrative staff is less than desirable . Not very friendly and does not call you back. Waited two weeks to get phone call for scheduling my injection. However when I called them to find out when I could schedule my injection, they said that the approval from my insurance still has not come back. I called my insurance immediately and they said that they had just received the request for the procedure within minutes after I got off the phone with the spine center. My insurance said that they would process this claim and get it back to them promptly. I then had to call back the spine center a week later to find out when I could come in for my injection. I was then scheduled for my injection a week later. They are not on top of their paperwork and procedures at all in the front office. Nor do they take responsibility when they have made a mistake. I would suggest that if you use this center, be proactive in scheduling your appointments and be proactive with your insurance so that you get the care that you deserve because the doctor is a great doctor.

Dr. Nwosu is good at making it seem like he is listening when in all actuality he isn't listening…read moreat all. He already has his mind made up before he comes in the room and doesn't care how much pain you're in or any of your concerns. On top of that he wants you to get special letters from other doctors and doesn't let you know he wants them until a couple more weeks go by while you're at home in horrible pain. He does whatever he is able to to stall the surgery because he knows deep down that he is a far less capable surgeon than he tries to claim. That's why if you look at other reviews he is only a 1.5 star out of 5. Yeah I'm frustrated and angry at him but believe this it is all true. Waste of space and time

I am posting this review based on a review I recently read about Pacific Medical Center in…read morePuyallup. It seems important to share our own experiences with Pacific Medical Center in Puyallup because everyone in this office has been truly caring, kind and compassionate to my Grandmother. From the very first visit with my Grandmother's Primary Care Physician, Dr. Kim, we immediately realized this was personalized health care. Dr. Kim always spent the extra time listening to my Grandmother's concerns and determining what could be done to assist my Grandmother. When appropriate, Dr. Kim ordered additional tests and consistently followed up with the results. Besides providing excellent medical care, we appreciated Dr. Kim's personable demeanor. He always remembered to use each of our names when we visited the office and he patiently went through our usual list of questions that we brought to each of our visits. This level of patient care did not end with Dr. Kim. Dr. Kim's nurse was equally helpful and caring towards my Grandmother. She often spent extra time caring for my Grandmother during our visits, calling to answer questions for my Grandmother, following up with the doctor and scheduling appointments so my Grandmother could be seen for more urgent concerns sooner. Lastly, the front desk staff in this office remained patient when we came across challenges with my Grandmother's insurance plan. Additionally, they worked hard to patiently handle insurance billing questions, schedule follow up appointments and answer questions for my Grandmother. They were always professional and respectful which meant a lot to us. We really could not have asked for anything more from Pacific Medical Center in Puyallup. We sincerely hope this review expresses our gratitude for ALL of the staff who treated my Grandmother with such kindness and care. Thank you so very much!! : )
