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.

Dr. Louie is the best ! I trust him 100 percent and would not consult any other doctor unless he made the recommendation.

Dr Louie is the surgeon you want!
Dr Louie performed a minimally invasive laminectomy and discectomy on me in October. Going into the procedure, I was apprehensive and somewhat reluctant. However, after months of trying more conservative treatments including steroid injections, physical therapy, and acupuncture, it was determined that surgery offered the best hope to relieve my pain. Five weeks later, I have been cleared to resume normal activities and I feel better than I have felt in the last 13 years. The surgery and the recovery went better than I could have ever imagined. Dr Louie is a kind and patient doctor who is always willing to listen to concerns and explain the problem in a way that is easy to understand. More importantly, he is a gifted surgeon who offers solutions that really work. Dr Louie and the entire surgical team at Virginia Mason are a class act and make you feel like you’re the only person that matters on the day of the surgery. I cannot overstate my gratitude to Dr Louie.

Dr. Louie and his team provide very personal and attentive care. They always make me feel at ease. This is my second time in need of spine surgery and Dr. Louie was my first though. I have complete trust in him, and I appreciate his concern for my voice through the process.

Dr Philip Louie and his team were exceptionally caring and informative in my care. I initially saw Dr Louie as a second opinion so he gave me information on how he would proceed with the operation in comparison to how the other neurosurgeon was going to do it and why. [...] was reassuring in securing my surgery date while not pressuring me to schedule it immediately.

care philosophy

My goal is to treat every patient like they are my own family. That means I will walk them through everything I know about their concern and let them know what I'm thinking and why I'm thinking that. But at the end of the day; I ask myself, what would I recommend if you were my family member?
