Dr Yoon restored full mobility in my neck and removed all my nerve pain
My experience at NovoClinic was professional, knowledgeable and efficient from start to finish. Dr Yoon was able to explain the procedure and risks to me in a way that I could understand, and he was available via Zoom or in person before and after.
He did a great job, and restored full mobility in my neck and removed all my nerve pain. As a bonus, the Novoclinic staff helped me understand the sometimes complex if not cryptic billing messages from Doctors Hospital! Thankfully, insurance covered most of the procedure. I have used Novoclinic several times now, and will do so again without hesitation.
