Beginning with our New Employee Orientation, you will learn that SOSI is a wonderful place to work. Our highly motivated team work closely with the doctors where providing the highest quality care with kindness and respect is paramount. Our doctors and staff strive to create a caring environment which we believe will ultimately transcend into better patient care.
At Spine and Orthopedic Surgical Institute, the doctors carefully examine the patient and review their medical records in order to formulate a multimodal approach in treating your pain. Please bring all of your medical records with you during your initial office visit including recent lab work, X-rays, CT scans, MRI's, and all progress notes from other providers.
In addition to surgical interventions, and if indicated, the doctors at SOSI can offer interventional spinal treatments. This can be alternative and minimally invasive option to surgery as most patient can have some reservations with doing under the knife. Such interventional treatments, include epidural steroid injections, radio-frequency thermal ablations, discograms, kyphoplasty/vertebroplasty, plus more!
Pre-op clearance may be required for patient with certain medical conditions. SOSI will require recent lab work including CBC, COMP, PT/PTT/INR prior to any surgeries. Sometimes, a visit to a cardiologist is required prior to any surgery if you have certain medical conditions. For example, if you are on any type of medication for blood thinners for a heart condition, you have to obtain pre-op clearance from a cardiologist to hold the medications.

I would not recommend this place to anyone in agony and needing answers . I clearly suffered day in and day out . I was involved in a automobile accident and sent to this Fake office for treatment . Dr. W and his assistant made me feel like I was crazy after repeated Trips to his office he referred me to a psychiatrist. Because he could not find anything else. Furthermore I was hospitalized the next week at clear lake regional hospital and diagnosed with High Intercranial pressure( IIH). I asked for another appointment to show dr. W that he was in fact wrong and that this was the illness making

Dr. Lee and the staff are great and very professional. I love that they offer free bottled water but you have to request it but many patients and visitors don’t know about it. They need a trash can in the lobby many people just leave their trash on the floor and chairs. They need to improve on the wait time I usually wait a hour to be seen. People that arrive after me tend to be called before me I don’t know if they are not orgainizing the charts based on arrival time or what. However he is a great surgeon and they will get your surgery scheduled very quickly!

I had a wonderful experience here. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful, they make you feel comfortable even while you wait.
I had Dr. Nguyen, he was very informative and helpful with the process. He explained everything perfectly and thoroughly, so I knew I was in good hands. He treated me like he would a family member or a close friend, he showed that he truly cared about my well-being.
Dr. Nguyen helped me understand my injuries after my car accident and helped me through the healing process. I highly recommend him to anyone that is afraid and/or unsure about what to do.

Awesome experience. Alicia was very helpful and so sweet. Dr. Rahman was very informative and took time to explain what type of surgery my husband needed. He had just gotten out of surgery and still took his time and made sure all of our questions were answered. He is very knowledgeable and made us feel so much more comfortable about his surgery. The wait time was short and everyone was very friendly.

As soon as you are greeted by Alex, she kindly offers you a water which I think adds such a nice touch. We have been patients with Dr. Nguyen for a few months now. They are so nice and really pay attention to your ailments. I also love that the wait time was minimal. They don't make you wait forever like most offices do. We had just had a baby and Nash remembered her name, it made me feel like we weren't just another patient passing through. This office is very courteous and we will for sure recommend them to friends

This was an amazing experience for both my husband and I all the way from A-Z. The staff were beyond excellent in what they do and excellent customer service, comfort and knowledge of what will happen to you and what to expect once completed with procedure. As well as a courtesy call to check on my husband and I a day after. Every staff member I came across were extremely helpful and friendly. Thank you Dr. Nguyen, RN Carlos, RN Betty, RN Leanne, RN Michelle, RN Jason, MA Alan, MA Calvin, FD Priscilla, and CRNA Anita.

The people at SOS are so amazing! The ladies in the front were all so welcoming especially Alex and Rosemary! I had to wait a little while in the lobby so that my doctor could send my x rays. And while I waited, the ladies in the front office kept asking if I was ok, if I needed anything, even offered me a snack at one point! They were all so sweet! By the time my x rays arrived, it was almost closing time, yet Dr. Lee and the nurse practitioner Teresa still saw me! Which was great considering I’d have to wait another week if he didn’t see me that day. Everyone here was awesome!
