Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr. Chung is horrible pain medicine doctor. Super unprofessional and rude. No empathy for my pain symptoms which he caused nerve damage from my injections. He shouldn't be practicing medicine and his medical negligence should be investigated and compensation for my injury. Do not go this doctor!

Completely Useless
He was dismissive, uneducated about my case, did not take the time to speak to me about things thoroughly. He assumed that I was on medicare or medicaid in a prejudicial type of way. He did not take the time to even look to see the what the concerns were, did not have any care of the world. He wasted time and did not explain anything at all. He was extremely rude and he did not have a clue of what to do to help me. I wish i could add no stars to this review because that is what he deserves after the treatment from this doctor.

Fantastic Doctor
He took plenty of time with me and Addressed all the issues that needed addressing! He was very informed about my previous my health issues and I thought he was a very intelligent Dr. He has been in practice over 20 yrs. I highly recommend him to treat pain issues because he listened well to what I had to say. I believe he has come up with a good plan to treat my chronic pain in my neck. I am post-fusion 7 yrs

Dr. Chung has an excellent bedside manner; he is always very upbeat and puts me at ease. His advice has always paid off and I trust him implicitly.
