“Dr. Ju is an amazing Doctor. He takes his time to hear your issues and follows up with his patients. I have recommended him to my friends and husband who have all seen him for different issues than mine. However, they felt the same way as I did. You won’t be disappointed if you see him.”

"I had been having back issues for more than 5 years and knew surgery was in my future, but being back surgery I was hesitant. I needed a disk replacement between my L4/L5 and a 1 level fusion. Then I met Dr. Ju, and his confidence and the way he explained my choices and that this surgery sooner rather than later in life would be more beneficial. He put me and my husband at ease. I am 5 months out, and am so glad I did the surgery, my quality of life has definitely improved. Dr. Ju is great at calming/reassuring me that the back is healing very well and I haven't messed it up, by bending to pick things up too soon. My advise, if you know you are going to need surgery at some point do it sooner, the after surgery pain is nothing compared to pre-surgery pain and recovery is easy. And choose Dr. Ju."

"Dr. Ju explained the entire process of the surgery. Showed the damage on the MRI. Because i had a possible complication from a previous neck surgery he had me cleared by an ENT specialist before proceeding. He is very thorough and is not cut happy as some other doctors. The followup was great. He was there every step of the way. I HIGHLY recommend him without hesitation. I had 3 disc replacements in my cervical spine."

"I can highly recommend Dr. Derek Ju. I had a spinal fusion on my neck, and he was my surgeon. Everything went smoothly. He took the time to answer all my questions before the surgery. He came to follow-up with me after the surgery when I was in the hospital and again answered all my questions. He takes his time with you. He made sure I was ready to go home from the hospital and I would be ok to take care of myself. After surgery when I was home I had a few questions and he called me back in a timely manner. It’s been a great experience. The way he explained everything about the surgery is how I did experience it. I have used other doctors in the practice and am happy I was referred to Dr. ju. Would recommend him to friends and family if they need a surgeon."

"Went into Emergency room couldn't feel my feet and legs thought I was paralyzed or blood clot somewhere,turns out I had several herniated disc's in my lower back. Dr Ju did some complicated surgery on my bones surrounding the Discs. When I came out of surgery I Touched my legs to see if I could feel them and I couldn't believe I had all my feelings back. I’ve been walking everyday been only a couple of weeks but I feel great and I am 100 percent totally grateful for Dr Ju doing spinal surgery on to my back I was worried I'd never walk again but he always assured me that I would seeing is believing. Thank you Dr Ju!"

“I went to see Dr Ju based on his excellent credentials and high ratings. I had a severe compression of my thoracic spine and required a fusion from T1to T5. I already had severe symptoms and was unable to ambulate and had tingling sensations across my midsection and legs. I met with dr Ju and I knew after speaking with him I wanted him to do the surgery. Of course he was not able to promise me a full recovery but was encouraging. I had the surgery at St Francis on 11/22/23. The hospital was excellent and the staff attentive. Dr Ju visited me in the hospital and his support team was excellent! I am presently one month post surgery and not only do I have all my feeling back in my legs but all the tingling is gone. I am also walking without a walker, without a cane and am presently able to walk a mile(slowly) outside!!! I cannot express my gratitude enough for this wonderful recovery. I was afraid I would never be able to walk again. Dr. Ju is an extremely skilled professional!”

“Dr Ju went above and beyond for me. I was in severe pain and he arranged for me to have surgery on a Sunday morning. I got relief from the pain and gained a valued doctor, who I have already recommended to others.”
