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.

Wonderful experience!
We were able to get a same day appointment with Dr. Cho. He immediately diagnosed me and gave me a shot in my hand. The relief was amazingly quick. I’m so appreciative that we got to see him. Top notch Dr!

Caring Healthcare Professional
I first saw Dr. Cho in 2023 for what he described as “trigger finger”. The shot he gave me helped almost immediately in relieving my pain and snapping and popping of my thumb. But he said that every time I needed another shot, the pain would come back more quickly. He warned that it would eventually require surgery. He was correct! The first shot lasted one year; the second only 6 months. He referred me for surgery. Everyone on Dr. Cho’s team is a reflection of his caring and professionalism; from the nurse who scheduled my surgery, down to every member of his team at the Orthopaedic Surgery Center. They were polite, professional and answered all of mine and my husband’s questions; before and after surgery. I would strongly recommend Dr. Cho to anyone with pain in their hand or fingers. My experience was a great one!

Great!
My husband went to Dr. Cho for very successful hand surgery after a friend recommended him. He was very pleased with the results. Now, it's my turn for wrist surgery and I didn't have to think twice about who to go to.

Surgeon Doctor Cho
Every visit to Doctor Cho’s office has been a very good experience. Dr Cho and his staff are very knowledgeable and friendly always explaining every procedure in detail, from x-rays to scheduling. Everyone is very professional. I highly recommend Dr Cho and his staff for all your surgical procedures. He replaced my right shoulder in June of 2024 and the surgery he performed on me was 100% successful after suffering pain and los of motion for 20 plus years. After 6 months of rehabilitation my shoulder feels great, my range of motion is back and all the pain is gone. His staff have now scheduled a shoulder replacement for my left shoulder in 2025. And I’m confident that this surgery will be done with positive results. I trust Dr Cho to do surgery and you should too. His friendly demeanor, and positive energy gives you assurance that your surgery will be a success. Thank you to Dr Cho and his staff for their professionalism in handling my care.

I felt like a number and not a patient
I do not like to leave a negative review on anyone BUT this is a must for me.Surgery day hr delay with no updates. Dr. Cho saw me once before surgery. Said 4 words to me.Then my real issues happened, life threatening for me and traumatic for my family. I wake up in recovery and i am covered in blood asking why and i was dismissed and told not to worry. My hand was re-wrapped. After getting home, within 2min. My stitches popped or something and i am pouring blood from my wrist. So much blood all over my kitchen and porch and vehicle. I had to be rushed to the ER where they put a bleed out kit on my wrist to stop the bleeding and i fainted from blood loss. Horrific experience. I called his office to inform. Dr. Cho couldnt be human enough to call me and check on me. Still hasnt 3 weeks post surgery, very sad. Because of this complication, it slowed my recovery by weeks. I have trauma burn where circulation was cut off from my thumb. Awful experience with DrCho, team and facility. DONT!

TSAOG and Dr Cho are outstanding! Dr Cho fixed my hand last year and now working on my shoulder. I love his approach and personality not to mention his incredible knowledge of his field! I had an awesome orthopedic Dr in Houston so glad I found Dr Cho so near to our new home! He and staff are incredible! Thank you Dr Cho I trust your diagnosis and treatment options!

Dr Cho is cool.After being referred by a FastMed emergency care for a broken finger, he reviewed my X-rays and said that there was no break...but a small bone chip from the knuckle. I was cleared to play softball this weekend.

I have been a patient of Dr Cho for a couple years now . I have issues with trigger finger to both hands and Dr Cho has been great, whether it’s surgery to relieve pain or an injection for pain. He’s very professional, informative and knowledgeable in his scope of practice.

Dr Cho
Dr Cho was very personable and being a surgeon I thought those would be the first words I heard. What a surprise when he said surgery not needed for my partial tear rotator cuff. My husband and I were so glad to hear this. Explained why in a very understandable way. I chose him because of his high ratings and I am glad I did.

Dr Cho does a great job of explaining necessity of surgical procedure in detail. However....he does seem.a bit cool..very matter if fact.....not particularly friendly. Bottom line is...if he does a good job for me then thats fine. I've had a lot of skeletal surgeries,; IDEALLY I'd prefer a little more personal connection with someone I'm trusting to cut on my body. Im sure hes an excellent surgeon and he doesnt need tobe my best friend to accomplish his job.

Straight forward and appropriate by healthcare back ground and reviewed my x rays with me. Gave me clear instructions and ruled out the need for surgery. Did not review pain management but I had a good handle on managing my pain and I did not ask for his advice. Overall please with his management of my injury.
