Dr. Choi is a great listener, contrary to others. He heard my concerns and had a plan of action for me to implement. Which included referrals with other specialists. I appreciate his professionalism.

Today or yesterday when I saw Dr. Choi the visit was for provider transfer because my former Dr went on maternity leave and she suggested since I had seen Dr. Choi before a couple of times it would be easier.I am very happy that I did and he was very polite and listened. I did have another issue that started yesterday morning,so it turned out that he was able to help me with getting a urine test and medication.

Dr. Choi evaluated me because I felt down and hurt my head several days ago. However, my symptoms and other ER doctor’s notes allow him to discharge me saying “I am ok!” so, I appreciate his help and care for my wellbeing.
