Dr. Choi has worked tirelessly on my behalf and for that I am grateful. She is demanding and insists that her patients understand her directions. She really wants to help, but you have to be willing to work with her. She welcomes questions easily and I appreciate her candor. Btw, her staff is awesome and they do well under great pressure. I have nothing but great things to say about her office and her care for me.

I really don't care how she prepares Thanksgiving, the face cream she applies 3x/day, and on and on about herself, where she went to school,,what parents paid for. It got to be too much, and so I no longer see her. So unprofessional! Plus her office staff is awful

I hate wasting money going to referred doctors who are just going to refer me to someone else. Why would I pay someone to tell me they don't know what's wrong? And her nurse assistant, Renata has a real attitude problem. There are other offices and other doctors where I can spend my money and feel like it was was worth it. So no, I would not recommend this office.

Dr. Choi spent a great deal of time with me understanding my disease. It was difficult to get a first appointment with her, but now that I'm in, it is easy. She is fantastic.

I have clearly fallen through the cracks. It has been weeks since I have received my results and if it wasn't for myself being an advocate and hounding Dr. Choi for my results she would probably forget I was her patient.
