What Our Patients Say

Dr. Lim is my hero! Not only does she have a fun and energetic personality, she is a smart and caring doctor. She is tenacious and did not stop finding a solution for my problem. She celebrates when things are going well and is so reassuring and instills hope if there’s a setback. She is the first doctor in 30 years that listened to me and kept pushing until we had results. I am grateful I found her. She has changed my life with her expertise in medicine and her incredible bedside manner. Thank you, Dr. Lim for being you!

I came to Dr. Cai after being with another pain management doctor for 12 years, I feel like it's been one of the best changes I've ever made, she has given me injections that completely took my pain away, she checks on me by phone. With my other doctor it had gotten where I never saw him anymore, it was always a nurse practitioner. This pain management doctor and her crew are amazing, I would definitely recommend her, thank you Dr. Cai.

I love Dr. Chen. Everything I read about him in the reviews I found to be true. He listens to you and truly cares. I was so sick and going to another Dr. that we had for almost 30 years without results. I'm so happy I found Dr Chen and I'm feeling great!

I feel so fortunate to have found Dr. Shen. I found him to be so patient, knowledgeable and caring. Not only did he spend good quality time explaining what my symptoms could mean but several treatments available and one that gave me immediate relief. I recommend Dr. Shen to anyone that is looking for a good Gastroenterologist.

The staff was extremely accommodating and friendly. They were able to get an unexpected additional MRI approved by my insurance and rearranged their schedule just to accommodate me, and saved me from having to take another day off of work, due to I live in Covina. They went over and beyond my expectations and were very kind, professional and efficient. They make sure I was comfortable and got back out and on my way in record time. I really appreciate how accommodating and kind they were and will be back if I ever need more imaging in the near future. Thank you Back Bay Imaging!

Yelp Review
Dr. Kim is absolutely the best Neurosurgeon, ever! He did an outstanding job performing my lumbar fusion. I have regained almost all of my nerve and muscle functions, except for the nerves that had been too severely damaged to totally heal. I feel almost as good as I did before my accident that caused these injuries. I highly recommend him if you are considering having spinal surgery, you can totally rely on his expertise to do the best procedure for you! I am so grateful to have had him as my Neurosurgeon.
