As with every other doctor I or my husband have seen at UCI, we were both very impressed with Dr. So & his staff. He was very knowledgeable & personable & took his time to provide us with information & to answer every question. While we didn't observe hand sanitizer in the room it could easily have been outside the door. We didn't shake hands & everyone was masked. Dr. So also talked about all the precautions to prevent any infection during surgery & while in the hospital.

I am so fortunate, privileged & grateful that Dr David So performed my left hip replacement! X-rays showed his work was 100% precise & successful! Dr So's communication skills are equally perfect! He's consistently focused, clear, calm, composed, compassionate, honest, kind, patient,professional & positive! It's incredible how Dr So calmness & impeccable bedside manner belies the high pressure of his job; he holds the quality of our lives in his hands - literally - yet he has the self control, discipline, energy & heart to remain upbeat, unflappable & consistent regardless of whether I was stressed, scared, medicated or in pain. I have never met such a humble, personable genius! God & Dr So's encouraging words got me through the most challenging 5 weeks post surgery! Thank you Dr So!! I appreciate you & am very grateful!!

I'll be having surgery with him in October and I know I'm in the Best Care. He's an amazing doctor with great bed side manner. He's caring, he explains everything thoroughly, and I'm just truly blessed to have them. Also his Nurse was amazing, very, very helpful, and his scheduler, she was just as great. Even when I walked in the front, the front desk greeted me, and it was just such a great experience. I'm looking forward to surgery with Dr. So, and I know I'm going to be in the best of hands. Again, thank you Dr. So, you rock. And the front desk, you're very helpful, and I'm very thankful.

Besides being a great surgeon, Dr. So is also a very 'customer-friendly' person. He took the time to listen to me, providing clear answers to all my questions without making me feel either rushed or feel as though my questions were silly or a waste of his time. In addition to Dr. So, all the other staff members I interacted with (for much shorter time periods) did a great job. Thank you everyone for all of your help!

I really like the Dr his attitude to my reason I was there was explained fully and said that my hip should have been taken care of long ago and not having to wait over a year that my other Orthapedidc Dr was making me do. I am pleased that he wanted to get the surgery done right away... I cant wait for my surgery and I believe he will do everything right so I can walk again.

Dr. So was thorough in his examination and answered my questions. He listened to other concerns I had regarding my hand and offered to arrange treatment by another UCI doc. He was personable and related well to me.

“He walked me through the different treatments available”

I have seen Dr. So for hip and knee pain twice within the past year, both for separate reasons. Both times, he walked me through the different treatments available. I truly feel free and safe while in his care. I will continue to see Dr. So for any appliable conditions or treatments. Both of the office locations are always clean and organized as an additional bonus.

Words cannot describe how thankful I am for Dr. So and his attention to detail. Having battled arthritis for over two years,  I am finally free of pain! His bedside manner was absolutely phenomenal. His dedication to studying the latest technology within the field is commendable. I have been slowly recovering from last month’s surgery. So far, so good!

After my second slip at work, I knew that I had to get the help I deserved. I am so thankful for Dr. So. He always takes his time and is thorough with explaining every procedure available. He made sure I was comfortable and gave me all of the necessary instructions before and after my hip surgery. A true medical professional in my eyes.
