Explained my condition in depth and a plan for care.

This was the longest a provider has spent at an appointment of mine. He answered every question thoroughly, and made sure I understood before moving on to the next. Every symptom and issue I expressed to him was validated and he explained how it correlates to my illnesses. I was never rushed, and he stayed until all questions were answered. I've spent the past year being sent from specialist to specialist at my previous hospital, and this provider confidently diagnosed me in one appointment. 10/10 best appointment I've had.

Felt truly heard for the first time and feel like this was the right place to go after years of not really getting anywhere with my regular doctors. Time spent was fantastic.

Dr Chung was informative & took the time to break down the condition our daughter suffers from.
- 3 out of 5 starsReviewed on 5/10/2024
I really appreciated that Dr. Chung listened carefully to what I was saying, and was very interested in hearing my story from the beginning. He explained my condition more clearly than I've heard others explain it, and tied in my three most limiting symptoms-I also appreciated that he was interested to know what bothered me most. I'm grateful he made time for me in his schedule. My feedback would be that he didn't explain very well my next steps, and I would have liked a printed copy of my instructions.
