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 Choi is great!

What I love about Dr.Choi he was very professional straight forward about how the procedure would be Dr.Choi showed me pictures of people before and after he told me steps about the procedure as well and he was very clear About reassurance me that everything will be OK. Dr. Choi is the type of Doctor that calls you everyday to check on you making sure that you are ok and letting you know that everyday the healing process gets better I’m am so happy with the decision I made with Dr.Choi and his amazing staff members.

HORRIBLE BEDSIDE MANNER
he was super charismatic during the consultation. I ended up going with him to do the Lap band. A few months later I had a slip and boy did his personality change. He was extremely rude to me and very condescending! no way will I ever recommend him!

Best Place To Go For Bariatric Surgery
Had a lot of problems with my weight ever since growing up, that is until friend recommended I visit Dr. Choi. Luckily, there was an opening for a consultation which led to the surgery not long after that. Couldn't be more happier. Lost a lot of weight, and started going to gym and cycling again. Dr. Choi is the real deal.

Great doctor
I had the surgery in mid July and lost close to 40 pounds since amazing results. Once you do the procedure you have to keep at it with the amount of food you eat and drink fuilds a lot. Recommend him best option

Thankfully, he did what he was supposed to do, but as said above, there was no follow up. I thought it was due to COVID, but it seems this seems standard for him. After all I spent, I should not be using just an app, to guide me. The surgery was successful, but I would not recommend.

Don’t do it! It’s not worth it! Dr. Choi performed a lapband procedure on me in 2013. There was zero follow up - they could have cared less. I recently had gastric sleeve surgery (after a year of counseling and preparation, which is the only way to do it). Not only was my lapband in the wrong place, the tube wasn’t even connected! You get what you pay for people. It is MAJOR surgery. Do it the right way in a hospital with a qualified doctor.

Working with Dr. Choi has been a complete pleasure. I had my surgery Jan 28th, 2019 and my surgery was a huge success. I've lost 60 pounds and have a whole new outlook on life. Dr. Choi still continues to call and check in on me on a regular basis. He's truly concerned about my well being. It's not every day you find a doctor like him. He really cares about his patients and I highly recommend him to anyone looking to get their life back!
