Dr. Steven Choung, MD

Can’t say enough good things about Dr. Choung and his staff and Orlando Health. Everything was such a seamless process and the recovery has been amazing. He his bed side manor is amazing and his surgical expertise are extremely precise. Thanks again!

Timely & communicated well. My X-rays were regular so he took the time to check my feet and discuss my gait. I’ll go to physical therapy for stretching and walking.

My recent experience with Dr. Choung was unfortunately far from satisfactory, leaving me with a sense of disappointment and frustration. From the moment he walked into the room, it was evident that professionalism and empathy were sorely lacking in this particular healthcare encounter. Dr. Choung's demeanor was remarkably rude, and the lack of courtesy was palpable. His communication style was abrasive, making it difficult to express concerns or ask questions without feeling dismissed. This not only created an uncomfortable atmosphere but also hindered any potential for open and effective doctor-patient communication. Furthermore, the level of professionalism displayed by Dr. Choung was disheartening. The doctor seemed disinterested and failed to convey a genuine concern for my well-being. It was evident that my visit was perceived as more of a routine task than an opportunity to provide compassionate and competent medical care. I remember the feeling of disappointment as he told me that he had a lot of patients, and suggested I don't need to be his patient. Empathy, a crucial element in the health care profession, was notably absent in Dr. Choung's approach. The doctor's inability to acknowledge and understand my concerns left me feeling isolated and unheard. A lack of empathy can significantly impact the patient's overall experience, making the healing process more challenging. In summary, my encounter with Dr. Choung was marked by rudeness, unprofessionalism, and a stark absence of empathy. I hope that this review serves as a constructive feedback, prompting reflection and improvement on Dr. Choung's part. As patients, we entrust our well-being to healthcare professionals, and it is disheartening when that trust is met with such a disappointing experience.

Fantastic!

I came to Dr. Choung with x-rays, MRIs, nerve testing, & a tarsal tunnel diagnosis. Dr. Choung told me that I had plantar fasciitis and all I needed to do was PT, stretch, and lose weight. When asked about the tests & MRI he hadn't looked at either. He scanned through the summaries in about 1 minute and decided they were wrong. He disregarded my history (10-15 hrs/wk on skates for the last 15 years, working 40+ hrs/wk on my feet, dancing & team sports for decades, multiple foot, ankle, and toe breaks). He told his PA in the hall that I didn't have tarsal tunnel because it's so rare, and losing weight will fix my feet. He saw a fat body instead of a whole person and chose to treat my "fatness" and not my feet. Dr. Choung is just another fatphobic medical professional. He was rude and condescending to my face and while talking about me in the hallway. 0/10 do not recommend. And 12 wks of PT didn't fix the PF I don't have.

I had a very extensive flat foot surgery plus correction of a mild bunion and hammertoe in March 2019. After a year of major disruption to my family and recovery, the surgery was a failure. I now have a big toe totally overlapping my foot and the pain whenever I walk is extreme. My active life of sports and travel is essentially over. Choung had assured us before surgery that he knew what he was doing and had studied under the surgeon who perfected this technique in New York. The only way to fix it is more surgery. I would look elsewhere to find a surgeon who can perform up to his own self assured manner.

dr chuong has done 3 ankle surgeries for me and i can walk again !!! he reconstructed the joint, placed a titanium wedge, and performed a nerve decompression...i blew the ankle surfing and he was the only surgeon with a plan.. i will also have him perform an ankle replacement when the time comes. 5 Stars !!

Dr. Choung did emergency surgery on my ankle (both sides) and within 3 months I was released from his care due to the amazing job he did. I have no pain or even a limp from his outstanding ability to treat injuries. I would recommend Dr. Choung for any type of ankle issues.

I had my foot operated on by Dr Choung July 6. Since that time I have had nothing but pain, toe has a black band around it and end is very red. The toe nail is now coming off as well. I went every month to Dr Choung and all he would say is the color does not bother him. He Did nothing for the pain or our concerns. So our last visit (November) in his exact words, THERE IS NOTHING MORE I CAN DO FOR. He turn and started to walk out the door and he then said, I'M DONE WITH YOU. Those are his words.

Done a excellent job on my ankle. Easy to talk to listens to the patient and gives advice you can understand.
