Love Dr Choi. Even though I hate the commute (20-40 min depending on traffic) & there is another Doctor closer in El Segundo, I'll stick w/Dr Choi!

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
