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.

A true life savor
Someone in my family had a very complicated heart issue. Let's say 3 or 4 different things wrong with their heart. We had many doctors decline to operate on him due to the severity. We found Dr.Myung, and he truly is THE BEST. I could not be more grateful for his skills.

It's clear and reliable right from the start. It answers all questions and the post-operative experience is quick to improve. I underwent surgery for mitral and aortic valve replacement, and the hospitalization was excellent attended by a great medical team led by Dr. Myung, and nurse. The references about Dr. Myung are 100/100 true, he is an eminence in his field and in the best hands I could put my life into such a delicate surgery. Thank you very much Dr. Myung.

Dr. Myung is amazing- from his down to earth bedside manner to his obvious skill as a surgeon! I first saw Dr Myung for mitral and aortic valve issues in 2019. I was fairly asymptomatic, so after discussions with colleagues he suggested we take a watch and wait approach because of the risk and that worked well until earlier this year. Over 25yrs ago I had chemo and radiation treatment for Hodggkin's Disease . It caused valve stenosis, blockages, porcelain aorta, hostile chest from radiation. I am told many surgeons would have labeled me inoperable. I am so glad Dr. Myung didn't have the same opinion. I had OHS May of 2021 and am on the other side of one of the scariest things I have gont through. Dr Myung and his team kept my family updated durng my long surgery. I remember seeing him several times during my hospital stay, always with a smile and kind caring words. If you have the opportunity to see Dr Myung, do not pass it up, he and his staff were awesome !

Dr. Myung replaced my aortic valve and repaired my mitral value in 2015. He was selected by my cardiologist to do the surgery. I can't praise him enough! He is an amazing surgeon! He is very kind and cares very much for his patients. I was so thankful I had him for my surgeon. I highly recommend Dr. Myung to anyone.

Dr. Myung is outstanding. I had open heart surgery (aortic valve replacement and aneurysm) on 1-22-19 and am feeling extremely well. I can't say enough good things about his ability to explain procedures in lay terms, his kindness and his surgical skills.
