Center for Interdisciplinary Spine

I have had 3 back surgeries and getting ready for lucky #4. Since I have got to the office Dr. Shin has been a Rockstar. The reports he writes are beyond descriptive in explaining reasoning behind his decisions. The staff has also been great. I have received calls while they're fighting for Me in regards to workmans comp. I've had nothing but problems with my workman's comp denial/approval process and there office has fixed them all. I couldn't be more Happy with the care from this office. Thank You Dr. Shin

Doctor yoon is the best .the reason for 1 star is lake of access.they have no phone policy .they have a phon number but they never answer or pick up the call.some times its urgent need but patient cannot call patient has to send email and wait 24 hours for the answer ..unimaginable pain clinic without phone access

I have only been going there a few months. My first impression was the waiting room felt like the DMV. Once called back I felt like I was walking in the basement of a hospital. The place is very cold.... it doesn’t have the warmth feeling like a normal doctors office. Once in the room you can hear everything being said from the rooms next door... so much for patient privacy. Every time I have been there I have seen someone new. I feel like I am having to start over each time. A couple weeks after my first appointment I received a call from another doctor, they wanted to schedule me for an injection. Dr Shin had not told me he was referring me for an injection. If he had discussed this with me I would have told him about my allergic reaction to one injection and a poor experience with another. At the moment I have been leaving messages for weeks trying to schedule a follow up appointment. It doesn’t matter what time of day you call or which extension you press you will never speak to any one, no one ever answers. I would not refer this place to anyone.

This is a great place if you want to get better from your injuries. I was in a major car accident 30 years ago. Didn't have any problems until about 15 years ago. Turns out I have a herniated disc (L5 & S1). I suffered for many years with sciatica. Previous doctors gave me injections on my back and prescribed me a lot of pain meds. My back did not get better. I have been seeing Dr. Shin for about 10 years now. I got an injection from him which helped me tremendously. In addition, Dr. Shin has given me a lot of information on rehabilitation. They have all the facilities you need from Pain Clinic, Rehabilitation Center to Acupuncture Clinic. Although my insurance doesn't cover, I still go see Dr. Shin for my back. I have been off pain meds for many years now and playing a lot of golf.

Dr. Shin is the first Doctor to help me with my pain after the 6 surgeries I had since my accident. He’s basically maintaining the chronic pain that will always be with me and I’m overjoyed that he accepted me as my injury is over 20 years old. He also referred me to Dr. Snook who helps with outpatient procedures that make the quality of my life exceptional.

I came to Interventional Spine as a result of a work related injury. I had to have spinal surgery, a fusion in my neck. I had been needing a pain management doctor as my neck pain was not improving. Dr. Shin met with me for nearly an hour and discussed way he thought was best for me. Dr. Shin combines Eastern and Western medicine and wanted to try acupuncture and healing the mind and the body. I asked about a procedure involving an ablation of the nerve roots at three levels of my neck. He explained that he could do this procedure and I am currently waiting for the authorization. One month later I saw his p.a. and she was very patient and kind. The front desk receptionist and schedulers are very helpful and kind. When i first arrived I was in so much pain that I'm sure I wasn't In the best of moods but one of the young ladies, who's name slips me, has such a smiling personality and is so very helpful I can't tell you how much I needed and appreciated that. I'll update my review if there are any changes.

I would like to say that Dr. Brian Author Kim is an amazing Doctor and surgeon. After being inured on the job over 3 years ago and being in so much pain hardly being able to walk I was finally approved to have a procedure called Spinal Cord Stimulater which Dr. Kim did my surgery. I have never been more pleased with the doctor he is and such a caring person. He is like no other doctor I have meant he is more about caring for his patients not just for making money. Even after my surgery that day he called me at home in the evening to make sure I was doing ok He strives to for nothing more then perfection. There are so many wonderful things to say about him I could go on and on. I am just so thankful to have him as my Doctor and Surgeon and blessed to have the procedure done and I can say after just 3 weeks I am still doing great. If you need to wonderful and caring Doctor and Surgeon please take my word that Dr. Brian Author Kim is on doctor you need to use. Thank you Dr. Kim

I came to CIS from Concentra Rancho Cordova, best thing I could have ever done, Dr.Shin and Dr. Yoon takes alot of pride in making sure their patient get's the proper care.unlike Concetra, every visit Dr.Yoon goes over test results and follows up with outside care.The staff at CIS is very friendly and helpful.I also attended their Functional Restoration Program which is a very good program, I would highly recommend this program to anyone, there was alot of good information I learned in this program that has helped me in my daily life.
