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 am 70 year's old. Dr. David Choi is OUTSTANDING!
Dr. David Choi was my doctor i 2024 at Altais medical group. I followed Dr. Choi here - as did the majority of his patients from Altais! THAT is how outstanding of an eye doctor he is! Just trust him. Listen. Likely you'll be happy with your final outcome!

Dr Chol was very professional. Not very outgoing but nice. The building needed more signage. I didn’t know where to go and when inside, I didn’t know if I was in the correct place. Even the staff could have been more animated. Yes and no are not always enough. I know they were busy but smiles go a long way. When I left I saw Dr Choi in an office talking and laughing with a colleague. That is not what I expected when he met with me but, more animation when meeting with a patient is helpful.

Frustrating
Drove really far to make appointment. When I arrived receptionists were nice but staff dealing patients were rude to patients. The tirade made me uncomfortable. Dr asked questions then didn't pay attention to responses and was unwilling to entertain anything but his own views on matter. The minute of time( not exaggerating ) I got from the Dr was rushed and didn't feel thorough and given him trying to walk out the door as I was speaking I didn't feel my concerns mattered much. I won't be back and wouldn't recommend. Save your money go to another place.feels like they're just rushing to check off as many patients as possible regardless of quality healthcare to patient.
