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. Choe performed surgery to remove ear osteoma. Throughout the whole process, he explained my condition, the procedure and answered any questions I had leading up to the surgery. I felt at ease and confident in his expertise as a skilled surgeon and physician. At every visit, he provided post care instructions as well as a printed out materials which was very convenient. My surgery smoothly, my recovery was very quick, and there were no complications thanks to Dr. Choe and the team at Metropolitan Surgery Center.

Narcissistically entitled.
He was most off base in his prescriptions and his prognosis. Refused to check my sinuses only looked at my ear which caused imbalance Rather egotistical. Did not listen to me nor care what I had to say.

Great ENT!
I have been seeing Dr. Choe over the course of the last decade or so. He has performed several operations on my ears over the years and they were all successful. He explains everything in-depth and leaves you feeling very reassured. I highly recommend him!
