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. Ching was very kind and also direct. I appreciate that she listened to me, and I felt that she took my symptoms seriously. Her staff was equally prompt and kind.

Dr. Ching performed surgery on me previously and did an excellent job. This appointment was to evaluate my hernia for surgery. She explained everything completely and indicated the surgery would be in February.

I had 4 visits with 4 different medical professionals in dealing with an abscessed cyst on my back. My physician was totally booked, and since I needed care I saw two PA's on two different visits to Urgent Care, a doctor who opened the cyst to drain and a final PA I saw after more than two weeks of a lot of pain and little change. She finally referred me to Dr Ching, a General Surgeon. I finally had someone who listened, understood my frustration with almost 4 weeks of no Improvement, and carried through with treatment that worked. So kind!
