My 83-year old mother was seen by four surgeons in Jacksonville and St. Augustine. All of them said there was nothing they could do for her. On her first visit with Dr. Yoon, he said “I’m your man.” He had the confidence and the skill to perform a triple laminectomy and discectomy on her aging body to bring 100% pain relief. If a doctor tells you they can’t help you - trust them - because they have neither the confidence or the skills to do it. Dr. Yoon had realistic goals and expectations of what was possible for my Mom and he succeeded at all of them. There were limitations on correcting her severe scoliosis because of her age, but he did the part of the surgery that mattered most - pain relief. Outstanding surgeon, staff and hospital. Thank you!

I cannot state strongly enough how grateful I am that I was referred to Dr. Yoon and his team for relief of my back pain. I had been treated locally with epidurals, physical therapy and ablation and still could not walk to my mailbox without help, or stand long enough to make a sandwich. Dr. Yoon evaluated my problem and recommended surgery. Within 3 months I was back to walking and doing my regular activities. I will always be grateful to him for giving me back my life. Emory Hospital and Dr. Yoons entire staff were professional, compassionate and knowledgeable.

Dr. Yoon performed a 10 hour osteotomy on me in November of 2015. Today November 2020 I am still doing well and you would never know that I ever had scoliosis! He is a wonderful surgeon with a great bedside manner and he actually sits and listens to you at the office during your appointments! He also makes himself available after your surgery in case of an emergency. He’s awesome! Thank you Dr. Yoon and staff for such great care!!

I have Scheuermanns Disease with Kyphosis. I had an eight level fusion to correct my kyphosis on 05/19/2019 By a surgeon in Athens , GA.. The surgery didnt correct the kyphosis. On 04/15/20 I saw Dr.Yoon on a telemed visit. He was pleasant and he treated me well. He said My previous kyphosis correction fusion wasnt done right. He said I would need a VCR surgery to correct my 80 degree kyphosis now (documented evidence of 80 degree kyphosis in my records) . He assured me he is the best and he could do it for me if I wanted to proceed. I had an in office visit with him on 09/09/20. He asked why I was there. He said He wasnt going to do surgery on me. He said my spine was in the normal range now and denied ever saying different. He got upset with me because I was in a lot of pain. My BP was high. I was getting upset with him for treating me this way and got a little out of breath explaining how I felt.. He made fun of me for hyperventilating. He told me to stand up straight and pretty well asked us to be leaving. He put in my records that I was hyperventilating and I had exaggerated pain behavior. In my opinion, this Dr. may know his stuff and he may perform lots of good surgeries but he treated me poorly. He had no reason to. I do not understand why he had a sudden change of demeaner with me. I do not recommend Dr. Yoon. He will not loose sleep over me. If he treats you this way, He will not lose sleep over you either. I wish I could give him Zero Stars

Dr. Yoon is simply wonderful. He is a brilliant surgeon who fixed my back so that I can walk again. I am eternally grateful to him for that. Upon meeting him I saw that he has kind eyes and he listens when you talk. He and his entire staff at Emory are excellent. I recommend him without hesitation.

Dr.Guilds is a total pro at his position. He knowledge is impeccable,He bedside manners is above the rest.I like his personality, it puts me at ease.Thank you Dr.Guilds for being the best Quarterback in your field.

Dr. Tim Yoon gave me my life back! My condition was not elective procedure.I had the most advanced of the condition called: SPONDYLOLISTHESIS.It was necessary for me to be able to have a quality life, keep working in the Medical field as a dentist for 26 years. After surgery, I was walking the next day. I wished that I could write somewhere, that when patients need back/lower back surgery knew about Dr. Yoon. I, also understand that all of us feel anxious talking or thinking about having back surgery and the possible side effects. It took me almost 2 years to meet Dr. Tim Yoon. He is very gentle, who listens to you and your concerns. He is the best in the world in his field of Orthospine.Emory Orthospine Hospital is one of the best. From all the kind nurses all shifts. You are neveralone. Thank you Dr. Tim Yoon and Staff.Respectfully,Lizzette Edge, DMD

Dr. Yoon is compassionate, caring and is a highly skilled back surgeon. I had a lumbar fusion and am so happy with results.

Dr.Yoon is great!He did my surgery on my back in July and Im almost back to full mobility just like he said.

This Man Right Here Is My Hero/God. He Saved My Life. I Wii Never Forget Him. If I Had A Million Dollars I Will Give Him Half. I Love U .From The Bottom Of. My Heart And Top. U Told Me If I Didnt Have My Surgery That ICould Not Walk Anymore . Thanks You

You should be thanking your lucky stars if you get him as your surgeon. The man changed my quality of life. My surgery had to be moved up 2 weeks early bc my entire left leg went numb and I couldnt walk or stand straight anymore. I was supposed to have Dr. A (a highly recommended surgeon) bc this was surgery #3 for me. But Hurricane Irma came that day and Dr. A couldnt get to Tucker location from. N. Druid Hills bc of storm. She said Dr. Yoon was the best person to do it. She was right. I was so scared but I liked his matter of fact attitude. You are suffering. I can fix it. Surgery went well, even though power went out and they had to use backup generator! Woke up and pain gone. Like All gone. Surgery site was tiny compared to previous 2. Got discharged next day. First week was agony due to back muscles but that was expected. And Jennifer, his nurse, was always available. I overdid it 3rd week and had to be prescribed Medrol pack. I thanked them both and hugged them. So so so grateful to Dr. Yoon and his team.
