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.

Eye lid surgery
Dr Choo did my mom’s eyes, she is 90, now her eye look better than mine, I had mine done by a Dr in Ca, and her eyes look better than mine! Plus, she can see better, which was the main objective!

Dr. Choo is excellent. I tell everyone about him
I felt so comforted, no anxiety. Dr. Choo and his staff were extremely professional, and I was treated with respect. I had no pain afterwards, and my follow-up visit went smoothly.Everything was explained to me in detail and all of my questions were answered.

went to this doctor based on his credentials. I had nodules form under my eyes after an accident that was causing other issues as well. I was told by this man that I was old and “needed to accept myself for what I am”. Old at 49? Then was asked if I had ever considered a nose job because my nose is crooked ? I went here for medical evaluation and intervention, but just got my self esteem destroyed.

Excellent eye doctor! Needed cyst removed from eyelid and Dr. Choo removed it painlessly in under ten minutes. Dr. Choo was very friendly and easy to talk to. He will definitely be my fist call when needing any eye surgery in the future.

Nonchalant about performing procedure and uninspiring in terms of the probable outcome. For the most part said I can do the procedure and it may not be beneficial.
