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.

Horrible experience. Fact: Two in office visits and on each visit he referred to my senior mother “you are old”. On the most recent office visit Dr. Choi kept her waiting nearly an hour without an apology for the extreme wait. This Dr. is uncaring, unprofessional and has a horrible bedside manner.

Dr. James Choi is an amazing physician. I was extremely frightened about lab results from another physician. I could not even sleep! I was so blessed to have found him. Dr. Choi was extremely patient, and knowledgeable. He spent time with me to take away my fear. I drove 1 1/2 hour to see him, I just knew I could trust him completely. He set a (telemed phone appt) for 2 weeks to discuss results. Dr. Choi called in less then a week to tell me most of my lab results came in and were fantastic, (I was so scare). I cannot express enough what his early call meant to me. I could finally breathe a sigh of relief. He then kept the Telemed appt with the remaining results. He is an outstanding, caring and compassionate physician, with great follow through. I myself, was a manager of 3 neurology office and many physicians, I am very aware of a physician who goes beyond and above, and Dr. Choi is one of the best. I highly recommend him with 100% confidence. Cheryl Bistany

I was 36 yrs old when I was diagnosed with esophageal cancer. I met Dr Choi and was very afraid of the what was going to happen to me. But Dr Choi is a very calm person and really cares about his patients. He assured me everything would be ok, and that he and his team would take care of me. That he did! Almost 6 yrs later and I'm cancer free. Me and my family are very grateful and definitely recommend him. Thank you for Choi!

Dr Choi was very thorough and courteous.He showed concern over a lan test showing a loss of blood and anemia. He wanted me to have an endoscopy but I kept saying I don’t have any stomach issues. He was right I had a vessel leaking blood in my stomach. If he hadn’t insisted it could have developed into something a lot worse!! I highly recommend Dr. Choi.

Dr. Choi is the nicest doctor who is is very sympathetic to your needs. I was with him for 5 years and he has got me through a very hard time by showing so much compassion and is sensitive to your needs. He truly cares and is very easy to talk to.

Dr. Choi was key reason for my full recovery from bladder cancer. After a tumor removal in early 2016, then six months of Radiation and Chemotherapy, Dr.Choi recommended immunotherapy to destroy microscopic traces remaining. I underwent one year of immunotherapy, now no traces and diagnosed as cancer free. The final result due to Dr. Choi. I recommend Dr. Choi highly.

Dr. Choi was highly recommended from another doctor. We traveled 100 miles one way for my visits for non-small cell adenocarcenoma lung cancer. As a non-smoker, I needed an oncologist with an in depth knowledge of my cancer and life style. We got that and more from Dr. Choi. His manner, his wit and his knowledge of my cancer was excellent. He was concerned about my whole being. I just had my final, 5 year appointment and feel blessed that he was there for me.

Since Honor Health has taken over the practice, the quality of care has gone down. It does not say much for the doctors when they work for such an organization. Beware of cancer care centers that need to fill waiting rooms and charge extra for visits as though you went to an actual hospital. They care more about seeing you in a short amount of time than really going over your chart and your needs. Something may be overlooked no matter how kind the doctors are.

It’s all been said in the other five star reviews. Dr. Choi and his staff are all I could have hoped for in a medical practitioner. He has been my physician for several years now and has always provided the absolute best care, and I believe, best advice and treatment during every visit and for every issue. If you are looking for a doctor whose medical knowledge is in depth, and takes the time to be caring and compassionate he is it!!
