Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I was so fortunate to get a consult appointment within a week. Then, it just so happened that he had an opening for my surgery just one week later! I'm just a few days post-op as I write this and I can't say enough good things about Dr. Jeong, Rick Street PA and everyone at TMC and the surgery center!

Never...did my 2 spinal surgeries , refuses to do
Unprofessional. I was treated with total disrespect. Dr Joeng called me and refused to do a necessary 3rd surgery. I saw Dr Street, dr Joengs asst. The asst to dr Street was rude and threatened to call security to remove my husband and I,, because we ask what was taking so long. I'd been waiting over an hour past my appt time. She is really out of line, unprofessional ...I am still shocked. Believe me, if that is Dr Joengs crew, I certainly don't want him in my back a 3rd time.

Dr Jeong fixed my 50 degree scoliosis
The first time I met Dr Jeong I had been diagnosed with a 50 degree scoliosis resulting from my dogs knocking me over. I had become a bent over, curled around, cane dependent 65 year old. Six months before I was standing up perfectly straight. I NEVER would have believed this could happen by my dogs knocking me over. Dr Jeong said “You need a FULL SPINE FUSION“. One month later I was checked in to the hospital. Five days after that I was transferred to a rehab hospital… for 30 days. No infection in that long cut and on my way home on time, with home help paid for. I have been straight ever since … almost 4 YEARS later. Dr Jeong is a FANTASTIC doctor and surgeon.

Best Spine specialist in Tucson and surrounding ar
He has been my specialist for a few years. He is honest, kind, caring, compassionate and a sense of humor to boot. I have had a couple of surgeries with him. Everything went exactly as planned to include recovery. He evaluates your situation and let's you know your options, so you can make an informed decision. If you don't need surgery he will tell you. Excellent surgeon. I have referred him to friends and neighbors who have spine issues.

Dr. Jeong and his team have been instrumental in directing my back problems. After 12 years of dealing with lower back pain and radiating pain down both legs, I am healing wonderfully. I am getting my life back and I owe it all to them!

Lumbar Surgery
Dr Jeong treated me over an 18 month period from diagnosis to post operative appointments. He is thorough, meticulous and compassionate. The surgery definitely improved my quality of life as well as extending mobility into my old age (I am 81). He asked good questions and gave relevant suggestions without sugar coating outcomes. The profession would benefit from more surgeons of his caliber.

Dr. Jeong and his team worked together from the moment my appt was scheduled..I was notified of a cancellation and rescheduled sooner. The X-ray tech was professional,skilled and on task .Dr. Jeong reviewed my case ,explained my condition in laymen terms,developed a plan of care and reviewed the process and goals. As a RN it decreased my stress to know someone was taking care of me with the highest skillset available. He was professional ,and showed genuine concern regarding my help.After returning home I received a follow-up call to schedule PT since insurance paperwork had been completed .He took excellent care of my husband and best friend( remembering them by name).He is a blessing to our community.

Dr Jeong is my hero. He corrected a serious scoliosis deformity 7 years ago I had had since I was a teenager. He has attentively followed up with me over the years due to some residual problems I’ve had due to aging and arthritis. His competence, knowledge, and patient care are exemplary. I highly recommend him.

I luckily was able to schedule an appt within two days. I am so thankful since I ended up having a herniated disc. Dr. Jeong was very knowledgeable and very caring. I was very thankful he treated me and has continued with a good treatment plan.

I am a former US Army Ranger with numerous broken bones and injuries from my youth. Now at 62+, I have a lot of issues, including severe/chronic spinal stenosis, spondylosis, and arthritis. Dr. Jeong has fused cervical, lumbar, and thoracic vertebrae for me over the past 6 years. Although I still have pain, I'd be crippled and living on narcotics if not for his skill and care. No one can turn back time and erase the injuries I've had - but Dr. Jeong is helping me cope with them now.

Honestly if I could give this guy a zero stars I would. My husband went to this guy twice for his back pain and both times he never order a new MRI to see the progress of his Facet disease in his spine. Especially on our visit today he used the same MRI that will be a year old next month. This guy pretty much told my husband that he had to deal with his pain and get over it there was nothing he could do. How do you know if u don't order a new MRI
