Dr. Hwang was amazing! He took the time to sit with us in my wife’s room and not only gave us all the facts and what to expect in surgery but also to get to know us. He is a super skilled surgeon and compassionate man - HIGHLY recommend if you need a neurosurgeon.

We can’t say how Thankful we are for Dr. Hwang. My husband was in so much agony and pain when we met him we genuinely believed he listened and cared . Dr Hwang was extremely attentive and made him feel super comfortable with his options and at the end of the day did proceed with surgery. Best decision ever. Amazing bed side manner and my husband is now completely pain free. Our Hero!

Dr. Hwang is THE most compassionate, caring, dependable, patient, and thoughtful doctor I have ever met. His bedside manner is simply unrivaled and unheard of. The degree of care he devotes to his patients is exceptional and rare. I know this because I am his patient. It’s a scary experience to end up in a situation where you need emergency disc surgery, but he walked me through every step, made me feel safe and heard, and checked up on me regularly following my surgery to ensure I was healing ok. He was in touch with my husband and family to keep them up to date on everything. He sets the bar extremely high and other doctors would greatly benefit their patients by looking to his example for compassion, sympathy, and genuine care.

Dr. Hwang saved me from what I can only describe as torturous, unceasing pain that I suffered through for six agonizing months. I had a ruptured disc that had sealed itself onto my nerves, causing unimaginable pain. Surgery was always the last resort from my PCP, but I wish I would’ve gotten it immediately. I was willing to try anything but surgery, and I did, including chiropractic care, physical therapy, and pain management. But the pain became so debilitating that I couldn’t walk or get out of bed. Eventually I could barely move without screaming. I lived with what felt like a butcher knife in my back for longer than I would ever wish anyone to endure. I wish I could go back in time and find Dr. Hwang immediately, but ultimately, my experience led me to the Mission Hospital emergency room where — THANK GOD — Dr. Hwang was on call, and saved me from the pain with a lower lumbar discectomy surgery, and I am so eternally thankful.

I am 35 and have a lot of life left to live, and I will never trust anyone else with my spine but Dr. Hwang. I will be grateful to Dr. Hwang for the rest of my life, because he is the reason I am able to live it and enjoy life again. I know I have a long road ahead to fully recover, but with Dr. Hwang in my corner, I am confident I will come back stronger than ever.

Thank you Dr. Hwang, you truly are my guardian angel and words can never fully express my immense gratitude. 🙏🏼

If you or someone you love are ever in a situation where you need the best neurosurgeon in the world, please call Dr. Hwang.

Mehdi J's Story

When I first met Dr. Hwang last November, I was in such a pain that almost disabled me. I was limping all the time and suffering a constant pain.

Dr. Hwang explained me all details about my problem and started my treatment. I had my lower back problem for many years , but I was hesitant to do the surgery. But this time when we decided to do the surgery, I was completely confident that I am in good hands that can be trusted. Now It is almost 2 weeks after my surgery. I have no pain and I can walk without any problem. I am back to my normal life because of Dr. Hwang's golden hands.

I cannot recommend Dr. Brian Hwang enough. Seriously, he is a rockstar.

I had a massive herniation in my L3-L4 disc that was causing a tremendous amount of pain, numbness, and frustration due to drop foot. I ended up needing surgical intervention. Dr. Hwang was personable, compassionate, and set my mind at ease. He and his staff are communicative, thoughtful, and thorough.

Upon awaking from surgery, I was already able to feel more in my leg and I can say without a shadow of a doubt that Dr. Hwang saved me. If you or your loved one are in need of a spinal surgeon, look no further.

Dr. Hwang sets the bar high!!!

My family met Dr. Hwang in October 2023 when my dad suffered a rare neurological event. He needed emergency medical intervention and his chances of survival were very low. Thankfully Dr. Hwang had recent experience treating this type of brain trauma and SAVED MY DAD’S LIFE. Not only is Dr. Hwang a top notch neurosurgeon, he also expresses empathy and understanding, has amazing communication skills and very supportive. He took every opportunity to make sure I understood each medical intervention and procedure. I felt safe with my dad under Dr. Hwang’s care and trusted his lead. Dr. Hwang still follows my dad’s recovery journey long after he’s been out of his care. We are blessed to have had Dr. Hwang leading the way. He was our guiding light through dark waters and my family is ever so grateful.

Highly recommend him. He’s professional yet very personable and kind. His expertise put my mind at ease and I appreciated his feedback. I came across his interview online and got to know him a little bit. I was impressed with the choices he made and it gave me the confidence that he would be the one if I needed a surgery.
