“Dr. Kwak is a true and consummate professional. Attentive, understanding, caring, and meets the needs of the patients. Before and after surgery and follow-ups, he was a great provider and reassured me the entire way from the initial consultation. I would not hesitate to recommend anyone requiring a procedure and have it performed by him. His experience is evident by the many patients he has provided services for in the past.”

“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.”
