“Dr. Kwak and all the staff, especially Angie, his assistant, were all fantastic to me and took care of all my needs and concerns for the 7 months after my surgery and through my pre-op and post-op. It took me 7 months to heal from a total knee replacement, and they were with me through it all. Very clean facility, and they take careful precautions through COVID as well. I will return to Dr. Kwak when I'm ready for my second knee replacement. Thank you for your expertise and care for all your patients.”
