They truly want to help you feel better with surgery being a last resort. They have taken me from a walker/cane to being able to walk unassisted most days. He also figured out which disc was causing my pain. I had previous steroid injections and they didn't hit the spot that needed to be hit. This doc uses the steroid epidurals to help diagnose which disc is causing the pain. That is especially important in those of us who have multiple back issues. I am so grateful to him and his entire team. They always let me know if they're running behind and I totally understand why when I realize all the homework he does before seeing you and making recommendations. When surgery day does arrive, hopefully down the road, I will know I'm in very good hands.

I walked out of surgery feeling better than when I walked in. My back has never felt better. I didn't use any pain meds after the first day. The pain from surgery was so minor compared to the nerve pain I had experience from the past 6 months. I saw 3 different specialists and Dr. Kim was an easy choice. I highly recommend.

    Dr. Brizzie is truly one of a kind and an amazing doctor. He is by far the best ever. Not only is…read morehe incredibly skilled, but his bedside manner is hands down the best I have ever had the privilege of experiencing. I have been seeing him for a little over two years now, and his care has truly helped me through a tough time. Being young with MS and all the unpredictable muscle pain it has caused me has been difficult. Dr. Brizzie has given me immense pain relief and has significantly improved my quality of life I never thought would be possible. I can do so much more now. I was struggling with this from 2021 until 2023 until I found him that year. The pain after the second Moderna vaccine was unbearable for me. He was the only one to take my pain seriously, and I will never forget that. He actually listens, really listens, and shows care for his patients. Highly intelligent yet humble. That is pretty rare. He is proactive, kind, patient, and always makes you feel heard. I am ever grateful to him for helping me get my upper body pain and muscle pain significantly reduced. The trigger point injections have relieved my pain like nothing else has and given me the freedom to enjoy life without constantly worrying about it. When you struggle, it has been such a relief to have a provider show compassion. He is the best, truly amazing, and I am very thankful. Fusion Physical Medicine's whole atmosphere gives off zen vibes and tranquility. His practice is so peaceful and warm. It's very clean and comfortable. Everyone is extremely kind here from the staff to the nurses. I cannot say enough good things! Unlike how a stressful hospital environment can be, the vibe here is calm and comforting. Plus you do not have to wait forever. This place is such a gem in California.

    I first saw Dr. Bunyak seven years ago after having debilitating lower back pain, which was keeping…read moreme from being active with my children, and doing things I love like snow skiing. I was depressed and frustrated after dealing with years of lower back pain, which did not resolve even with oral steroids/surgery ie microdiscectomy. Upon first entering the office, the staff was extremely empathetic, professional, and the office was absolutely beautiful (artwork/cleanliness). Dr. Bunyak was extremely professional, provided me with extensive bedside time and had the most amazing bedside manner. She first recommended a steroid injection, which unfortunately did not help with my pain. Thereafter, she recommended PRP and this was an absolute godsend. My lower back pain completely resolved, and I was able to play and wrestle with my young children as well as get back on the slopes and ski again! I wrote her a thank you card, essentially thanking her for giving me my life back. I have been doing well over the past seven years until now when I unfortunately herniated a disc at L5-S1 causing severe pain and sciatica. I made an appointment again with Dr. Bunyak planning/expecting to get another PRP injection (as that was what cured me in the past). Dr. Bunyak spent an hour at the bedside with me discussing all of my options in a very calm, informative manner. She informed me that given my current state, she believed the PRP injection that I was hoping to get would actually exacerbate my pain and not help with the issue and she rather recommended a steroid injection at this time. Dr. Bunyak refers out her steroid injections to an extremely reputable physician. Dr. Bunyak could have proceeded with my anticipated/expected PRP injection and made way more money off of me, but rather she did what was best for me (the patient) and my health. I trust Dr. Bunyak with my life and I think she is an absolutely amazing woman and physician. She is so well educated. She attended Yale. She has been a practicing physician for decades at this point. I would wholeheartedly recommend anyone who is dealing with acute or chronic back pain to consider seeing Dr. Bunyak for possible help with your pain. Lastly, Stacy the RN, was so kind and comforting from the moment I walked in the door. Steve the clinical manager, was also so kind and went above and beyond to help me with ancillary issues/tasks I needed assistance with. Overall, I cannot say enough about the entire BOUNDLESS team. Thank you for being a resource in our community.
