I had been dealing with chronic low back pain for some years, with minimal relief. The last few years the pain went to nuclear level. I was living on pain medication and muscle relaxant around the clock. The pain never left. At times I felt like a zombie, from the negative effects of the medication. I underwent multiple invasive procedures without any relief from the pain.
When Dr. Kang presented the option for the Vertiflex procedure, we jumped at the first available date.
The very day of the procedure, the chronic nagging, stabbing, piercing low back pain and muscle spasms disappeared.

I would highly recommend this doctor to anyone. I have been in excruciating pain for a very long time. We have done the spinal Neuro stimulator one week trial with great success. I went from a 10 to a 1 on the pain scale. I was able to stand upright for the first time since before June of 2019. I was down to a minimum use of pain pills and muscle relaxants. This is not a doctor who uses medication to treat the symptoms, but one who finds a way to eliminate the pain at the source. I can't wait to have the permanent implant to I can start living a normal life. Dr. Kang is a very caring doctor with

I give this NEGATIVE Review for the Dr. Kang, NOT his staff. His staff are very kind. Dr. Kang is NOT a pain Mgmt Dr. He is an inpatient care facility representative for Kemah Rehabilitation Center.
I have a long list of medical problems. I’ve had over 48 surgeries, over 20 of them were on the Cervical & Lumbar Spine. I’m in HORRIBLE CHRONIC PAIN, 24/7, 365 DAYS A YEAR for YEARS NOW!
After YEARS of surgeries and different medications, the doctor I was with found a combination of a medication and patch that worked. I changed the patch once every 48 Hrs & I got 6 break through hydrocodone pills

I have had chronic back pain for most of my life. I have currently had to switch doctors due to a switch in insurance carriers. I was with my previous doctor for years. My body does not metabolize certain pain medications well which makes managing my pain difficult. I have already been through several medications with my last doctor, eliminating those which do not work and increasing the dosage in those that need to be increased in order to reach a therapeutic dose for me. Dr. Kang does not care that he is putting me on medications that do not work and refuses to increase my dosage to a level that

Dr. Kang is a great physician. He takes the time to fully listen to you and finds a treatment option and plan that meets your individual needs. I never once felt rushed or pressured in any capacity during my appointments.
He is also sensitive to costs for patients. He let me know what medication he wanted to prescribe and told me to call back and hsve him prescribe something different if the cost was too great. Really a wonderful quality in a physician.
I've recommended him to friends and family and have been nothing but impressed with him and his staff.

I have worked with Dr. Kang for over three years now due to chronic pain from two herniated disc in my back injury was roughly 6 years ago. I have had two major back surgeries and in between those procedures Dr. Kang has been able to manage my pain and he has an overall end goal in mind with my healthcare. This helps us discuss my overall goals and how he can help me reach them. I just had a spinal cord stimulator implanted in my body and Dr Kang even thought of where to place the battery to where is would out of the way of my favorite activity (which involves holstered pew pews).
