Dr. Chung is very kind, compassionate, and knowledgeable. She takes her time. I never feel rushed at my appointments with her. I am grateful for her.
As I have stated many times on these surveys, Dr Chung and all the staff at the Breast Clinic are professional, supportive, caring. The facility is immaculate and I have full confidence in these health providers!
The doctor answered my question in a way that I could understand. She also showed me my mammogram to help make her explanation clear to me.
I had a great experience at the office. Everyone was very respectful and helpful. They took good care of me. I felt very comfortable and I was very impressed with the experience, period.
Dr. Chung was great! She is very knowledgeable and personable. She listened to my concerns and explained the situation on a level I could understand. Night and day from my last breast surgeon!
My experience was excellent but much too cold in the building.
Dr. Chung is very thorough and descriptive. She always stops and asks if I have questions and always give clear answers. Dr. Chung and her team are very caring and compassionate when dealing with sensitive issues, in my case it is cancer.
I am happy with Dr. CHUNG AND her staff.
Every aspect of my visit was done extremely well with everyone welcoming,knowledgeable and answering fully any questions I had. Procedures were explained thoroughly and my comfort was always a concern.
Just about everything was done well. Very pleased.
I like that the office always tries to combine my appointments so they are concurrent. It makes it easier.
Good listening and explaining. Availability of future appointments was too distant and somewhat limited .
I was able to get an appointment asap which was greatly appreciated.
Dr. Chung is an amazing, caring doctor. She's definitely a ten. As for waiting for follow-up appointments, the wait was very long to try to get in. That's the problem, trying to get an appointment in a promptly manner.
