Richard Rhim, MD, FAAOS

Dr. Rhim performed a spinal fusion on my 71 year old father. The pain/numbness radiating down his leg disappeared. His mobility increased dramatically. The scar on his back healed cleanly and it was obvious the time he took to be precise. The real star was the PA, Megan Crowley. She was polite, professional, and explained everything in a way my father could actually appreciate in layman’s terms. She made herself available and had a deep understanding of the entire process. These two made for an incredible team. Megan’s compassion and desire to make her patients’ quality of life better, plus Dr. Rhim’s precision, accuracy, expertise, and commitment to excellence make them a juggernaut in this niche field.

I came here over a year and a half ago with significant and constant nerve pain due to a slipped disc, and received excellent care and treatment. My spinal fusion surgery was a complete success and I've been pain-free for the year since. Dr. Rhim is great at answering my questions and working with me to find and implement a lasting solution to my pain. Highly recommend!

Dr. Rhim is an excellent surgeon. I found him to be kind, responsive and, above all, a true expert in his field. I had a lumbar laminectomy in December and I felt the difference right away. I'm not particularly vain and don't mind carrying scars but I must say that after having the surgery in late December 2024, I already have the faintest of scars on my lower back. When he closed, he treated my lower back as if it were my face! He is a great talent and anyone who sees him will receive excellent care. His staff is also great -- lovely and accommodating.

Outstanding Neurosurgeon – Life-Changing Experience with Dr. Rhim I had Lumbosacral spondylosis with radiculopathy surgery performed by Dr. Rhim on December 4, and I can confidently say it was a 100% success. From the very beginning, Dr. Rhim took the time to thoroughly explain every step of the procedure, including the risks and the expected recovery process. His communication was clear, compassionate, and incredibly reassuring. Dr. Rhim is not only highly skilled but also truly kind and dedicated to his patients. It’s clear that he takes great pride in his work as a neurosurgeon, and it shows in the exceptional care he provides. Thanks to Dr. Rhim, I am now completely pain-free and able to enjoy life again. I will forever be grateful for the incredible difference he has made in my lif
