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.

My awful knees have been in Dr Choi's care for 20 years and he is great. I do wish he would lose Endeavor health care. Their billing is suspicious and they don't return calls when you leave a message for the doc / nurse.

Dr Choi’s manner is comforting and he answers all my questions and does not make me feel he is rushed. I have been going to him for years and will continue to do so.

Attentive and Patient
I came to Dr. Choi because of recent pain with my knees and he was attentive to my concerns along with answering all my questions as well. Dr. Choi also went into detail on the x-rays they did and explained everything to me along with suggesting a couple of stretches and exercises I could do. I didn't feel rushed throughout the whole process and I was put to ease about my knee pain. I would definitely recommend Dr. Choi!

always good
Dr. Choi was the orthopedist that saw my son during his college career as a volleyball player. So it was natural for us to continue seeing him as we get older.

I recently moved to this area from Memphis,Tn.. as an 84 year old male, I wanted to establish a relationship with an Ortho Doctor. I was told Dr Choi was THE MAN. HE checked out my shoulders and Popeye Biceps and told me exactly what I needed to hear. He took plenty of time to talk and then recommended a Dr in his group to see me about my artificial hips and set up a May appt. Moving and establishing healthcare contacts is stressful, but Dr Choi put me at ease and I know I went to the right place. Thank you
