The whole visit was great..Dr Chung was extremely nice and knowledgeable..
Navigating breast cancer is daunting and I have absolute faith that your health care specialists will guide me down this path with utmost expertise.
Dr. Chung is a gifted surgeon and caring provider.What I did not appreciate is the front desk staff who barged into the office while I was trying to check-out and demanded immediate attention to solve a problem for someone on the phone.
Efficient and knowledgable
To me, Dr Chung is fantastic. She is brilliant and understands her specialty very well and it shows. She takes the time to educate you so you understand and educates you on how to take care of yourself to stay healthy. I appreciate that. She also does great remembering who you are.
