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.

I had an appointment with Dr. Choi that I made in April and I could not be seen until November. I arrive in November and my appointment is not in their system, and they made no accommodations for an apparent lapse in their system or staff. Then offered me an appointment in February. It is ridiculous. I urgently needed to see someone in April. I’ve had surgery and my prediabetes is still unmanaged. I don’t know what kind of doctor she is but her ability to manage her schedule and patient care is poor. Moreover, I drove an hour and a half to see her.

Excellent
Dr. Choi was comprehensive in her evaluation and took time to fully explain what her concerns were and why she was ordering certain tests. Once the tests were done she had a telehealth appointment scheduled in which she went over the results. I never felt rushed or talked down to; she was pleasant, professional and thorough.

Billed us more than two years after visit
This review is not about the medical care. They billed us more than TWO YEARS after the visit. So if you go here, make sure you watch the amount you owe at the time or you might get a surprise bill literally years later.

This review is specifically for Dr. Helen Choi. Recently, my father was admitted to the ER and hospitalized for sepsis. An abscess was found around his liver. The sepsis in conjunction with his diabetes put my father in a pretty bad place. My father was seen by Dr. Choi last week for a check up on his A1C levels and overall evaluation since being hospitalized. Instead of feeling cared for his recent battle with sepsis and downturn of his health, my father left Dr. Choi’s office feeling dismissed and disrespected. My father expressed to Dr. Choi that in the past she had recommended him to replace his blood sugar monitor every 2 weeks. Dr. Choi tells my dad he he is wrong and has never said that. Dr. Choi’s response to my father was that he should look for another provider who will be “easier to see and get to” and prevented her nurse from administering a new monitor as planned that day. Stay clear of this doctor. She is someone who has absolutely no empathy for her patients.

I've been to her twice and both times I found her caring, on target on what I needed to do in order to lower my sugar.
