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.

Dr. Chae was able to eliminate my Afib via his skilled ablation technique. I had already been ablated 3 times in the past 12 years with no improvement. My Afib was getting worse (55%of the time I was in Afib) and I was desperate for a solution. Dr. Chae suggested another ablation (the others were done by a different EP.). I was skeptical as it hadn’t worked before. I went for it and am so glad I did!!! Absolutely No Afib for more than 2 months. I am amazed at how great I feel! Dr. Chae is a miracle worker in my eyes.

Received outstanding care from Dr. Chae for an atrial flutter. He recommended an oblation and the surgery was successful. Would highly recommend him.

I have been a patient of Dr. Chae for approximately one year. Although the bulk of my visits have been telehealth due to COVID, I still feel like I am receiving top notch care from a true professional that cares about his patients. I would highly suggest Dr. Chae and his team at USF Health to anyone needing a cardiologist.

As follow-up to my previous review of Dr. Chae dated May 26, 2017, well over one year ago I underwent a cardiac ablation procedure preformed by Dr. Chae to correct a long standing atrial fibrillation that I suffered from for several years. The procedure went extremely well and I have been symptom free since that time. I am off all of my meds for this condition and have been since the procedure. Dr. Chae is a very skilled surgeon in his area of expertise and exhibits a very caring bedside manner and thorough follow-up. I couldn't be any more pleased with him as my physician and highly recommend him and his staff.

Dr Chae provided me with the most intellectual and compassionate care I had ever recieved from a physician. He listened to me as a patient. Not a lab value but with all his knowledge he saves my life. I am 63 yrs old female and I would send and recommend him to anyone. He’s the best and I have seen quite a few and am an emergency room nurse. So I know what I am talking about.

I don't understand why he doesn't have higher ratings. Do people know how blessed and privileged they are to go to USF and have the top doctors? I guess not. I feel so grateful that I am finally getting really great cardiology care. I love having a fellow come in first as they really listen and take their time and then go out and present the case to the MD. Works great. I highly recommend him. Annie, the LPN, has been very helpful.
