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. Rhee was very clear in explaining my condition and suggesting many treatment options. I felt very confident in the assessment of my condition

I highly recommend Dr, Rhee without reservation!
Dr. Rhee is an excellent doctor, highly competent and thorough. She covered all aspects of my condition, what I can do to alleviate it and treatment options. She is available for as many questions as you may have and told me to not hesitate to contact her if I had any concerns or additional questions in the future.

Dont blink your eyes... she's gone.
Dr. Rhee is very highly qualified however, she is very fast and walks away before the patient gets his questions answered. She has zero interpersonal skills and that is part of being a good doctor. Skills and intelligence are just as important as bedside manner and interpersonal care. Stay away!!!!

Excellent Care
Dr Rhee and her entire staff are fantastic. I have been treated for vericose veins on and off for a couple of years. The doctor is a skilled technician. Very knowledgeable, attentive and diligent. She cares that the outcome of her procedures benefit you.

Great outcome
Rhee clearly knew what she was doing when she recommended Varithena therapy. Varicosity substantially reduced and venous excema, the worst symptom, gone. She is friendly and thorough.

not a good experience
Came in to have a previous procedure checked as well as varicose veins. She was very dismissive and did not offer any type of treatment, In addition, her incompetent technician jerked my left knee for the scan (she was on my Right side) and I had considerable pain that evening and for a week or so. Would never go back there.
