Dr. Michael Bahk attended Northwestern University with a Bachelor of Arts in English studies. Within his English studies, he was selected to participate in a select Writing major and was ultimately awarded the Edwin L. Shuman Essay Award. He subsequently graduated Summa Cum Laude. He was also a part of the Honors Program in Medical Education (HPME) and attended medical school at Northwestern University in Chicago, Illinois. He graduated as one of the top of his class with Alpha Omega Alpha (AOA) distinctions. He was also awarded the American Academy of Neurology Award for Excellence in Neurological Science upon graduation.

He subsequently completed his internship and orthopedic residency training at one of the nation's top hospitals, Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, Maryland. He worked for five years under some of the country's leading surgeons. While at Johns Hopkins, he gained extensive training in pediatric orthopedics and adolescent sports medicine. He helped take care of NCAA Division I collegiate athletes on the Johns Hopkins lacrosse team as well as professional athletes on the Baltimore Orioles and the Baltimore Ravens. He has published numerous papers in journals such as the Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery, Journal of Shoulder and Elbow Surgery, Journal of Arthroscopic and Related Surgery, American Journal of Sports Medicine and Journal of Knee Surgery.

After residency, Dr. Bahk completed a Sports Medicine fellowship at the Southern California Orthopedic Institute and trained under some of the nation's founding and pioneering arthroscopic surgeons. He continued to write book chapters and present research at national meetings such as the Arthroscopy Association of North America (AANA) in addition to covering local high school sports teams.

Given the complexity of the shoulder and elbow, Dr. Bahk wished to expand his understanding of these joints and completed a second fellowship in Shoulder and Elbow surgery in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania with the Rothman Institute at Thomas Jefferson University. This was a one year dedicated program in arthroscopic and open surgery of the shoulder and elbow including shoulder and elbow replacements, fracture care and tendon transfers. He worked with world-renown shoulder and elbow surgeons and was a recipient of a $45,000 orthopedic Research and Education Fund (OREF) grant to understand venous thromboembolic disease and upper extremity arthroplasty. He is excited about this research and hopes it will lead to better patient care.

Dr. Bahk grew up all over the nation including New York, Michigan, Texas and even briefly overseas. His parents still reside overseas and his siblings live in New York and San Francisco. He appreciates his broad and diverse background growing up all over the world and training throughout the nation. He is excited to settle down in California and take care of patients in Thousand Oaks, Simi Valley and Van Nuys.

In his spare time, he enjoys golfing, running and spending time with family and friends.
