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.

Would not want to see her again
Dr. Cho has a terrible bedside manner. She is arrogant, dismissive, and a terrible listener. She is not thorough and doesn’t care to wait to patient history. I hope I am never in a life threatening situation where I have to be under her care.

Terrible bedside manner, no urgency, arrogant
Dr. Cho was arrogant and dismissive of my concerns on three different occasions. She does not introduce herself, appears rushed& does not explain her treatment plan or what tests are being ordered. Nurses had to advocate for me to be admitted where I had to have emergency surgery. Strongly recommend asking for a different doctor.

Amazing and talented
As a patient at Maui Medical Group Emergency Room, I had the pleasure of being treated by Dr. Leslie Cho. Her bedside manner was impeccable, and she displayed a remarkable combination of speed and expertise. Dr. Cho's quick and knowledgeable approach made me feel at ease, and I left the ER feeling confident in the care I received. She truly sets a high standard for medical professionals with her dedication to patient well-being.

Nightmare! Avoid this Dr if at all possible! Horrible bedside manner unkind treated me poorly dismissed me insulted my intelligence rude I would NEVER choose to see her. Unfortunately we are on a small island and if you happen to need an ER visit you might get Dr Cho. I would ask for another doctor if possible. She did unnecessary tests and forgot the basic blood test she told me to check out. This was hopefully a bad day for her an not how she treats ALL her patients. The nurses were wonderful.
