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.
