Dr. Pae was cautious about doing the surgery. He ordered an additional test to determine if removing the gallbladder was the best option. He explained my options, the pros and cons of each and what the next step would be.

A truly wonderful doctor! When I was in the hospital and rehabilitation center, nurses consistently told me how fortunate I was having him for my surgeon. He's a skilled surgeon who rescued me from a life-threatening condition and subsequently restored my system to a fully functional state. He's patient, caring, promptly answers questions--whether asked in person or electronically. He tracked my progress carefully and frequently. I would recommend him unconditionally!

Dr. Pae is a terrific doctor. He saved my mother's life over and over again with his expert surgical skills. He communicates medical information to the layman clearly, and instills confidence. I will not hesitate to schedule surgery with him in the future. He is also the nicest guy ever!

Dr.Pae is wonderful. I can't say enough good things about him. He is also very honest and straight forward. He is very patient and kind and very good at explaining things. He also took the time to educate himself on unknown and unusual things that happend with my surgery. Thank you Dr. Pae. You are a great doctor and a great man.
