Dr. Choy is one of the most thorough and caring surgeon's I have ever met. He took excellent care of my mother while she was in the hospital. I highly recommend him and I would without reservation let him operate on myself or any of my family members.

Failed to recognize signs of an internal bleed 2 days in advance of patients demise. If you can avoid this guy, do it.
