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.

I had 2 delivers with Dr. Choi, both were terrible
In '17 & '19 Chio delivered my babies. Both were terrible & torture. So bad, that I decided 3rd would be different, she was born 100% natural with midwives at a birth center, WITHIN ONE HOUR! Let me explain. My 1st born was in '17 with Choi & I guess I was naive & trusted everything the 'doctors' recommended. He recommended an induction only 2 days past my due date. I was induced at about 9pm & he was born at 1am the following day, so a 27hr labor! no rest, no food, no water, all you get is ice cubes & I was basically scared into getting an epidural because 'there was a long wait' which caused me to become completely numb from the waist down. In the end, I had energy so they vacuumed him out without even explaining the risks. I didn't know any better & thought maybe I just couldn't push properly, so 7m later, I went back to him again. He wanted to induce me again & I said no, this time I had a 17hr labor. He was born with a cut on the top of his head where Choi tried to break my water.

Horrible doctor, I'm currently 8 months pregnant and was pretty much called a liar by Dr. Choi. Every appt. was approx. 3 mins long, he is in and out with the same robotic questions. When I have a question he makes me feel stupid. Not going back to him!

I recently found out I was pregnant and after waiting 3 weeks for an appointment with Dr. Choi, I left his office feeling nothing but frustrated. His favorite thing to do was shove things up my vagina with no warning with gel that must've been kept in the freezer. He laughed when i showed him my recent labs saying no one would run that many tests on pregnant women. Disregarding my questions about the test results. His staff, however - SO helpful, SO sweet, ALL women. Coincidence? Won't be back.

He's not very informative!!! Just in it for the money.doesn't spend time explaining. Visits are 3 minutes tops once he gets in the room.
