Dr. Cho and the staff at Old Bridge Spine & Wellness are compassionate, knowledgeable, and professional. I had been suffering with low back and hip pain for almost a year. It got to the point that I wasn't sleeping and was walking with a cane or should I say creeping along with a cane. I used to dread moving. I had been to an excellent therapist, a wonderful acupuncture specialist, and a great chiropractor; all of whom helped a great deal, they really did. I was able to sit down for about an hour and walk with less pain; but, transitions were excruciating and sleeping was out of the question. Pain at night was unbearable.
This is where Dr. Cho and his staff helped me tremendously. He took the time to listen to me. We discussed various treatment procedures and he came up with a care plan that is working! I can sleep now! That was huge ... being able to sleep. Now I have so much more energy and I'm moving about more with a lot less pain. I am forever grateful to Dr. Cho.

Dr. Cho is absolutely AMAZING!!! This is one of the few doctors that truly cares about his patients. The staff his has working there are super friendly and helpful. Lisa the Clinical Administrative Manager is by far the best! She always takes the time to find out exactly what's wrong to help figure out what can be the best option. You will never get a friendlier voice than Ashley the Administrative Manager on the phone. It's always a pleasure to call there. I highly recommend using Dr. Cho for your pain management needs. He has helped me when no one else could.

Again one of the most wonderful doctors besides pain management that I’ve ever had and his staff super friendly super tentative to all your needs that you need also they give you the best advice possible they help you with all your insurance issues you could not ask for a better doctor and staff possible from the bottom of my heart I think them tremendously for their service over the many years that they’ve been helping me in my long road to recovery in a sense

I was introduced to Dr. Cho at NJ Spine and Wellness. I was suffering with lower back pain for a long time. He was able to fix my back in just a few procedures. He is a very special person. He takes time and listens to what you are explaining to him. He assures you and helps you feel safe. He has compassion and empathy for someone in pain. I put all my faith in him and he gave me my quality of life back.....I believe he is truly an asset to your group.

Just wanted to say THANK YOU to Dr. Cho at NJSW for his amazing job. He treated me last year for a varicose veins. I am so happy with the outcome of my procedure. I have no swelling, no cramping, no burning and no more pain in my leg. Dr. Cho and his medical staff (especially Lisa) did an outstanding job. They all made sure I was taken care of. I highly recommend Dr.Cho at NSW. If you are suffering from varicose vain he is the guy to go to. Do not hesitate to call NJSW and schedule a consultation with Dr. Cho.

I saw Dr. Cho for my lower back pain. Before seeing him I was very apprehensive about getting any kind of injections, but Dr. Cho took the time to explain everything to me. He made me feel at ease and comfortable every step of the way. When I had my injection he walked through every step and what to expect. Lisa his assistant made it a point to follow up with me the next day to make sure I was doing great. Both of them really made it a point to make sure my needs were taken care of. I could say a million great things about Dr. Cho!

Dr. Cho is an amazing doctor. I have been treating with him and his staff since 2016 after a bad car wreck. He’s been with me, for 2 major surgery’s!They listen to their patients. He talks about all your options. He’s very caring. If he can tell something is wrong, he will ask if you are okay. And he will listen and help anyway he can. The 6 yr old even talks to him and she talks to no men! And she thinks Miss.
Lisa his nurse is great!
