I have seen Dr. Choi for 2 separate issues over the years, including surgery. He is always straightforward and knowledgeable. He is a great doctor and I have referred many people to him. I’m always happy with the care I receive from him.

Dr. Choi spent all of 3 mins with me. Spent more time with his PA, who actually gave me the treatment so will not see Dr Choi again. Would not recommend him.
