“I am extremely pleased and happy that my destiny lead me to Dr. Ju. I thought it would be a quick, “you’ll be ok. Do X, Y& z.” Turns out I needed to have immediate surgery. I was hesitant, because it’s surgery. However, this doctor man, I wish we could clone him. His calm and reassuring demeanor, his ability to explain everything and his precision are phenomenal to say the least. I would always recommend him to anyone I know. I just did my surgery last week and right away I felt relief. I’m so grateful to him and the team. Thank you Dr. Ju for making me feel like myself again.”

I had a check in the automatic check in box cause I was the first time patient. They called my name before I was even finished. They were very friendly. They took a picture of my insurance card and my license told me what side of the room to go on, sat down For 30 seconds and they called me in everything was immediate. I sat down again inside the waiting room to wait for the Dr less than a minute and he apologized for keeping me waiting. Best experience ever. I was finished within 15 minutes.

Dr Ju listened to my complaints and we spoke of a game plan to find solutions. So far so good.
It’s too soon to project if my complaints can be repaired But I am hopeful Dr Ju will do everything he can. He will now be my main Orthopedic Doctor.

No complaints
December 20, 2024Aloin V.Verified patient
over exaggerated positive reviews just an average doctor visit, regular in and out visit did not do anything for immediate treatment. Didn't address concerns completely. Still in doubt about my own scenario.
Not spectacular doctor, could have gone else where as well.

Dr. Ju’s office was pretty far from me, but it was so worth it. He is kind, professional and knowledgeable…. The best thing was that I was able to get an appointment the same day. Beautiful. His assistant and front desk was just as kind and knowledgeable as he was in their area of work

This was my first visit with Dr. Ju and was very happy with the office and Karen. She was very pleasant and helpful with the sign-in process. I really liked Dr. Ju; Not only did he listen to everything I had to say but he really took the time to explain what he saw on the x-ray so that I understood. I left feeling confident that I was in the right hands.
