I am Dr. Hong, a highly dedicated and experienced medical professional specializing in the treatment of spine and chronic pain conditions. With a background that spans medical research, minimally invasive interventions, and a commitment to personalized care, I strive to make a positive impact on the lives of my patients.
My journey in the field of pain management and musculoskeletal health has been marked by a relentless pursuit of innovative solutions. As a primary investigator in novel FDA phase 2-4 clinical trials, I have actively contributed to the advancement of medical and minimally invasive treatments for various chronic pain conditions. My goal is to stay at the forefront of emerging therapies to provide the best possible care for my patients.
I began my medical career by training as an anesthesiologist at the prestigious University of Washington. This solid foundation in anesthesia provided me with invaluable insights into pain management. Subsequently, I completed a pain medicine fellowship at the avant-garde Texas Tech Health Sciences Center, further honing my expertise in this specialized field.
One of the cornerstones of my practice is a commitment to open-mindedness. While evidence-based medicine is undeniably important, I recognize that it may not always fully address the unique needs of individual patients. Medical studies often involve large populations, and published research may carry certain biases. This is why I am open to considering a range of treatment options, including those that might be considered "outside the box," always with the patient's well-being as the top priority.
