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.

A doctor you can trust with your health
Dr. Choi is always upfront snd thorough about your health. She gives you down to earth options on how to manage your health. Even though she is very pleasant to talk to and kind, she is no nonsense about your health. Her continued learning aspect about her profession helps to ease my concerns about her professionalism. I drive from the high desert to Torrance just to have my appointments with her because I dont want to change doctors. She's a gem.

Dr. Choi
Dr. Choi is an intelligent and dedicated Physician. I can talk to her about anything. She reviews all lab tests, and has referred me to a surgeon when she found a condition I needed surgery for. She is strict and expects us as patients to follow her instructions. I am good with that, because she is very good at her job !

Disappointed
My initial appt Dr. Choi seemed to care, however in my follow-ups it was about doing procedures and/or meds verses confirming Quest Labs presented accurate findings. Her staff was to get authorization for my current appt and mail me a copy of the lab work, neither happened- disappointed!
