My experience with this surgeon
I fell and broke my hip I was taken by ambulance to Seven Rivers Hospital in the middle of the night. I was fortunate enough to have been assigned to Dr Choung. I thank god for a great experience. Seven Rivers hospital does not have a great reputation i had a positive experience with Dr Choung. The hospital was so so. Food was terrible but the staff was excellent. Nurses were kind and caring.

Great, and his staff too! I have been seeing Dr. Choung for three years now. He is easy to talk too, and I enjoy his staff! I will be getting my new knee's installed by him this fall, and then both hips. I wore out all my joints over the years. He did surgery so far on my hand and elbow at his surgery center, which I realy like it there too!

I went to see Dr Chung because my left wrist hurt. I explained that I had not fallen or given my wrist a violent shock. He ordered an X-ray and said I had a fractured radius and torn ligaments and had an assistant put on a cast for one week which seemed to me very strange. After a week when I went to have the cast removed I told him that the cast was causing my thumb a lot of pain. Dr Chung ordered another X-ray and said I needed to have a new cast put on for two weeks. When I returned to have the cast removed my thumb had doubled in size and my hand was much worse. He sent me away and told me get a soft cast. I was not convinced by any of this and went to get a second opinion from an orthopedic hand specialist. He ordered X-rays and after looking at them assured me that my wrist had never been broken but that I had arthritis which accounted for the pain in the wrist. He gave me a steroid shot which helped a lot. It took my thumb weeks to recover from the trauma by Dr Chungs cast.

Both of us have had several surgeries. Excellent service and excellent reception by the staff and doctor. Always took time to explain injury, physical problem, what he can and can not do and expected results. Does not sugar coat the prognosis and is completely honest.

Dr. Choung took the time to listen to me regarding a previous injury I had and was very upfront on expectations of surgery & my recovery. He explained my injury, the surgery he performed and my recovery in a very detailed and precise manner. I felt that Dr. Choung was very knowledgeable, honest and caring. He has always taken time with me during my office visits. I am extremely happy with Dr. Choung and would recommend him.

It's been one year since my first knee replacement and 9 months since my second knee replacement. I feel like I've been given my life back. My knees feel great! I have no pain and my activity and movement has greatly improved since before surgery. I ride a stationary bicycle every day and have increased my steps threefold on my Fitbit. I continue to improve daily. I am so grateful to Dr Choung and his wonderful staff as well and especially Sherry who helped me so much with my insurance.
