Spine Specialist in Seattle, WA

Thanks to Dr Jung, I fully recovered post a very minimally invasive procedure on my lumbar spine. The recovery, the bedside care and the results were all really great. I am grateful to Dr Jung for helping me get back to an abundant blessed life so quickly! I am back to full function and excited for my future.

Dr. Edward Jung, Orthopedic Spine Surgeon is fantastic! I should have gone to him sooner for a serious back problem! I had been in excruciating pain for months. I did too many weeks of physical therapy before asking for an MRI. At our first meeting Dr. Jung showed me the MRI and took the time to clearly explain to me what was causing the pain and what surgery he could do that would alleviate the problem. He answered all our questions and instilled confidence. He is highly skilled, kind, knowledgeable and does minimally invasive surgery (small incisions) which results in faster recovery and minimal scarring. Dr. Jung’s outpatient surgery gave me immediate pain relief -- I was able to walk and climb stairs right after the surgery! Dr. Jung’s whole staff was wonderful, too. Hurray for Dr. Jung! I enthusiastically recommend Dr. Jung.

I've previously had two spinal fusions, from S1 to L3, 7 and 10 years ago. Via MRI, I was recently diagnosed with severe spinal stenosis L1-L2, presenting as a burning sensation and partial numbness in one foot. Other doctors told me that I needed another fusion, but they would not do it until I could no longer walk. Dr. Jung advised a minimally invasive Laminotemy procedure. This was done as an outpatient, and I was up and walking ~2 miles the next day! The burning has subsided about 50% immediately (the nerve can take up to a year to heal). I am very pleased with Dr. Jung, his staff & The Polyclinic in Seattle!
