Sherwin Hua Neurosurgery

Q: How do I judge whether a doctor is effective?
A: What he says will happen, happens!
Dr. Sherwin Hua is attentive and effective.
I had my discectomy performed by Dr. Hua at St. Rose Hospital (a small but great hospital) in Hayward, CA.
Dr. Hua was very reassuring before the operation. Post-​op, he said things would get much better within two months. Within two days, I was cautiously walking. I could have started walking earlier, but my own concerns kept me from trying too hard.
Sure enough, each day up to the two month mark, I felt better and gradually gained confidence to move around more and more. Now I feel just about «brand new».
My L4-​L5 bulge had greatly affected my movement and the pain was unbearable. I had tried pain killers, physical therapy, and steriod shots. None worked and things got worse.
Dr. Hua indicated that it was a structural issue that he could fix.
And fix it, he did.
Dr. Hua receives my highest recommendation.

My mom-​in-​law (78 years old) had severe leg pain due to a disc bulge. Her PCP was not helping and referral to stanford spine clinic took 2 weeks. While we are in desperate, we got Dr. Hua’s phone number, we called Dr. Hua in Saturday morning, luckily he himself picked up the phone and saw us in the afternoon. He gave her some meds specific for nerve to relief some pain and did Microscopic Discectomy surgery 3 days later.
The surgery was very successful, it was finished at night around 8pm, and by next morning she was able to walk by herself.
Unfortunately a physical therapy doctor came and asked her to walk long long distance, ‘to test her limit’. After that my mom-​in-​law felt pain in the butt on other side (not the same side before surgery). It’s been 3 weeks and she is still recovering from the butt pain, but the original leg pain (on other side) is totally gone.
Dr. Hua is very very responsible, we can text him questions and he would text back whenever he has time. We once text him on a Friday night and he responded within 5 minutes. I never heard of any other doctors doing this. Doctors like him are real backbones of the US healthcare system!
