MaleAbout Andrew Chung and Banner Safety Practices
Care Philosophy
As one of few double-fellowship trained spine surgeons in Arizona who has trained with both world renown neurosurgeons and orthopedic spine surgeons, I enjoy being able to offer the latest in minimally invasive and motion preservation techniques to my patients. Importantly, having published over 60 peer-reviewed articles and book chapters, I know when and how to apply the latest science to spine care. I fully understand that “latest” or “new” doesn’t always mean effective. Finally, from chiropractic school to spine surgeon, I take a very holistic and conservative approach to spine surgical care. I treat every patient as a family member and always view surgery as a last resort.

I have seen Dr Chung for two years and he performed major back surgery on me. Every visit was excellent as was surgery. I appreciate not only his skill as a surgeon but also his communication skills. I always was fully informed and had a clear understanding of what I would be experiencing. I never had second thoughts after my first visit with Dr. Chung. I can't praise him enough.

Dr Chung is simply the best. Dr. Chung has always been very thorough in not only his explanations, but also answering every question I have had. I totally appreciate the fact that if I needed a prompt response for a medical concern I had, I know he would respond as quick as possible. I doubt that I would have the same surgical outcome if I had had my procedure done by someone else. My results were above and beyond my expectations. I attribute that completely to Dr Chung's skills.

The dr was easy to understand. Sympathetic to my issues and I felt very honest, which I was told by my Dr he would be. I was told a year ago it was a must for me to have surgery and Dr Chung confirmed not at this time. He had already looked over all cat scans and xrays and knew exactly what he was talking about when he came in the room. Very impressed!!
