Patient Reviews

The following are reviews from patients of Dr. Hou.

“Dr. Hou was extremely thorough in his explanation of my recent steroid injection in my back at L5 and L4 for my sciatica pain. The injection was painless and very effective. I have the highest regard for his expertise.”
– June B
Patient rating: 5 stars
“I have experienced significant pain reduction from Dr. Hou’s treatment. He clearly explains my spinal issues and his procedure.”
– Gregory P
Patient rating: 5 stars
“Today’s visit with Dr. Hou was good. I got a shot of Toradol for short-term relief, and he is in the process of setting up yet another cortisone shot. He also agreed with discontinuing PT until pain is better managed. He is more optimistic than I am that we can manage the pain long term. I was there early, got in early, and saw him on time.”

“Dr. Hou was excellent in the pre-op visit. He really explained the procedure in great detail; the best yet explanation I have received for a surgery. The actual ablation itself was a piece of cake compared to all the requirements necessary to enact it and the long time my life was on hold before it could be done. Kudos to Dr. Hou for his constant hard work, which is noticed and really appreciated, and for being the final link in giving me my life back. PA Lester Ma was also immensely supportive and helpful in this situation. Great teamwork.”
