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.

No respect
Dr Choi has no respect and does not listen to his patients. He jumps to conclusions. His first thought is to prescribe drugs instead of getting to the source of the problem. He even admitted that for himself he avoids prescriptions but is eager to prescribe for his patients for the exact same issue.

I have recommened to my family
Dr. Choi is one of the best dr's I have had.I don't understand why he is suggested as a pill pusher. In my experience he has taken steps like physical theraphy, xrays to see what is going on. He believes in his patients and if there is reason for your pain yes he will help you with pain medication. He is a wonderful dr.

Dr. Choi is a nice guy but I am disappointed in his practice. He allows patients and his staff to be in a small office unmasked during a pandemic. Not to mention he does not wear one himself when seeing you in his small enclosed office. I am also baffled why he suggested and joked I take allergy medication every single day 3x the suggested dose on the packaging. I will not be returning and wish his practice took the pandemic more seriously.

Dr Choi is very nice. But He is a pill pusher, and he wants yo to come in for every little thing so you can have an office visit. He uses phrases like "they say you should do ..." But is never accountable for his own decisions. If you call his office you will never get a call back. He gives your prescriptions, but tells the pharmacy different then what he tells you to take (on 4 diff meds) so its a huge hassle to even get anything filled.

I'm 65 and have moved a lot so have had at least a dozen PCP's and Dr. Choi is clearly heads above anyone I've ever experienced. When I chose new insurance I would only apply to companies that listed him as a provider.

Dr. Choi is an extremely good family physician who takes the time to explain tests and findings with you in a friendly, personal manner. The office is very comfortable as is the exam rooms. I always feel that Dr. Choi is concerned about my health issues, sometimes more than I am. He is very proactive in getting necessary treatments and prescribing medications. The only drawback is the office staff, not very efficient and the receptionist is difficult to understand. Usually easy to get in.

He is nothing but a pill pusher. He doesn't care about people, he cares about money. He was the Doctor of two of my loved ones who are now deceased! Don't go to him! He needs to be stopped!!

Dr. Choi was not my physician initially, but I began to see him after my doctor in the same practice suddenly died. At first, he seemed considerate. He was a former L&I doctor. He works long hours as a plus. But, after an L&I claim of my own, the staff weren't so nice anymore. Or, the practice decided not accept military insurance anymore. I would have to make two or more appts to get records.

No one has ever talked to me that way. I mean explaining to me. That's what I like. Give it to me straight. He is very knowledgeable. That is the kind of Doctor I like . One that talks. I recommend him to anyone. He accommodates his patients. He is there to help you with your health and make you better. Ten Stars!!!
