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 Myung has been incredibly helpful - her concern for [...] health and for obtaining imaging for correct diagnosis without over-exposing [...] to radiation through X-rays has been comforting and has helped our family to feel confidence in Dr Myung. She always takes time to explain things clearly - not only to us, but to [...] he can understand.

Dr. Myung was our son's doctor at the Children's Hospital in Indianapolis. Our 14 yr old jr. football player loved playing the game. After experiencing pain during weight lifting, a local Dr. told us that he would never play football with his congenital anomaly in his lower spine.(Bertollotti syndrome) Dr. Myung believed he could play sports, including football, but needed to have therapy and correct techniques for proper lifting during weight training. It's all about having a strong core. Our son is now a freshman in college, and was able to play football and baseball all four years in high school. We are very thankful for Dr. Myung, her kindness, positive attitude, professionalism, and care received.

dr. myung, karen though appearing exhausted still managed to maintain that level of professionalism in dealing with new patient's and their family members during the visit. very thorough in her explanation despite time constraints-didn't have the feeling of being treated just a "number" and "on to the next" -very considerate and attentive though she can use a chocolate bar by the end of the day :) it was a very overwhelming day for us( me and my daughter) to learn that surgery will be happening ( which is the kind of news we're hoping not to hear ) but dr. myung, karen was so understanding and very compassionate as well as patient enough to listen to us, in fact deep within she knows that we were still trying to deal with the news and yet she offered that if more questions needed to be answered and that we can give her a call- it's just "How she said it"- which is very comforting". thank you dr. myung for settling my uneasiness at that point.
