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.

very disappointed to see this doctor
He did not appear to know what he needed to do to treat my toe. He just said go to ER and they can decide what to do. He also suggested I remove my toe since my toes look crowed. I followed up with another doctor and what Dr Choi suggested was not needed at all.

Will not see patient on appointment day
I visited the office a few times before and had no issues. On the 3rd visit the doctor would not see me. I arrived on appointment day and because I did not follow an order prescribed he would not see me. Which is ridiculous. I kept the appointment because I was having pain from a procedure he performed previous and still would not see me. Extremely unprofessional. I thought a doctor is to see patients regardless. Clearly he was annoyed and brushed it off. “My way” or no visit. I just wanted to talk with the doctor face to face but left the talking to the nurse in front. Very bad experience.

Waste time and money to see Dr. Choi
Dr. Choi got me a pair of wrong style of orthotics. I showed him 1/2 sized orthotics that I am currently using, and requested the same design but he got me a full length ones. After I paid for it I threw that orthotics away. They tried to convince me by calling me several times to pay for the cost of orthotics without going through my insurance….. advertising discounted price??? because my deductible was too high???and asked me to pay in advance even before ordering orthotics…Thank goodness, finally they claimed through my insurance…God bless their sales business.

Warm hearted in the last word i'd use to describe him. I took my 90y/o dad to see him with complaints of pain in his left big toe. He clipped his toenails and said the pain in his toe was from PAD. He said protocol was to refer him to a vascular surgeon who wouldn't treat him because he was too old. I took dad to an immediate care center who diagnosed him two fractured toes. He's now on his way to recovery no thanks to this butcher

Dr. Choi is the VERY BEST doctor I have ever been to. I am very old and have been to millions of doctors and not one compare to him. He is gentle, extremely intelligent and very personable. He takes more time than any other doctor I've been to and obviously I have been to a lot of different doctors and NONE compare. I would give him a rating number so high that it does not exist. HE IS THE BEST! PLEASE let him know how much we appreciate him.

Dr. Choi was a bit awkward, cold, and disrespectful towards my primacy podiatrist. I went to see Dr. Choi for a second opinion on a proposed surgery. His response was pretty much "I don't do second opinions". What the heck? He also refused to use the X-rays my primacy took saying it's older than 3 months. They were 98 days old. I ended up paying for X-rays too. Then I went back to my original podiatrist. He did the surgery using the first set of X-rays. My foot looks and feels great.

Dr Choi seemed quite competent. I went to have 2 corns trimmed. I had seen another podiatrist for corn trimming in 2015. I figured it was straightforward, and I could go to a doctor closer to my home. However, my previous doctor charged me only a co-pay for the office visit. Dr. Choi charged me the visit copay plus another fee for the trimming, so it cost me twice as much for the same service. He also suggested I have an x-ray to see if there was anything else going on. I declined that.
